As a class-taught Christian Scientist myself, with both a grandmother and a mother who were active Christian Science practitioners, I felt there was simply no alternative but to delve deeper into the logical teaching of this Science when my little world appeared to crash in around me.
Prior to this, my husband and I had been designing and working very hard to build our "dream" house. I was also pregnant with our first child. The crash came a few months later: I suffered a miscarriage that left me deeply disappointed and confused. Shortly afterward my husband indicated that he was not happy with our marriage. We separated for a time, then divorced.
This series of events left me stunned— I couldn't accept the loss of our child, and I'd mistakenly assumed that our married life was happy and on a firm foundation.
