A case study methodology is used to explore the meaning and development of empowerment in a grandmother who is the primary caregiver of a child with HIV infection. Empowerment to this grandmother meant being strong, coming to grips with life's challenges, and then moving on. Empowerment developed over the grandmother's life span as a result of developmental and situational experiences such as motherhood, disclosure of the HIV diagnosis, sharing her positive and negative feelings with others, gaining knowledge about HIV, making management decisions, and her increasing sense of spirituality. This grandmother manifests her empowerment through her public commitment to influence others positively about HIV infections through speaking, writing, and leadership in groups. Clinical implications are discussed.
