Testimonies of Healing

'I was later told that I had stopped breathing'

From the September 2001 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Many years ago I entered a Christian Science nursing facility with an acute breathing difficulty. My second night at the facility was one I will always remember. I awakened around midnight, unable to breathe freely. I told a nurse I felt I was passing on. She attempted to call the Christian Science practitioner who was praying for me, but there was some delay in reaching her, and I was later told that I had stopped breathing and apparently passed on just as she was reached. As I recall, I was looking down at my body on the bed. The nurse was holding my hand and talking on the phone.

I left the nursing facility, completely healed.

I don't know how long this period lasted. Then I was again conscious of being in my bed, with the nurse handing me the phone. I listened to the practitioner tell me about God's care and love. One week later, with great gratitude and joy, I left the nursing facility, completely healed.
