When my husband passed on, my world was...

From the May 1988 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When my husband passed on, my world was suddenly shattered, and the resulting emptiness and anguish seemed more than I could bear. I desperately needed to know how my religion, Christian Science, could help me.

Although my healing was not instantaneous, a new understanding of God and His creation unfolded to me, placing me more and more firmly on the rock of absolute Truth. With a sincere desire that my experience might give hope to those in need, I would like to share some of the answers that gently led me out of despair.

At first I was numb, but then I became enveloped with thoughts of anger, resentment, and bitterness. I felt that I no longer had any faith. But on the heels of this feeling came an overpowering desire to be rid of these destructive thoughts. I picked up a copy of the Journal and read an article about working out problems alone with only God's help. I felt it had been written just for me. The next morning upon waking I realized that all the anger and resentment had simply melted away.
