For many years I feared what might become of me if my parents or husband ever passed away. I was so dependent on them for everything.
When I began studying Christian Science, I would often study Mrs. Eddy's definition of death in Science and Health . It begins: "Death. An illusion, the lie of life in matter; the unreal and untrue; the opposite of Life" (p. 584). I really tried hard to understand this. It was almost impossible for me to go to any funeral until I came to understand that death is not real, or at least understood this somewhat.
This has made me strong, not weak,
as it has made me depend on God.
