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.
