Testimonies of Healing

Grief conquered, joy found

From the September 2016 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A question I had been asking myself for a few years was, “Can I find joy in my life without my spouse?” I think it is time for me to share my healing of grief after the passing of my husband. 

When my husband passed on, I needed to gain a new sense of God’s love for me. As my husband was my partner for many years, it felt like joy and love came from him. And it felt as if my joy and love were suddenly missing from my experience. 

I have to admit, I was unable to attend church because I got too emotional sitting in the service without him. I loved that the Christian Science Bible Lesson was on the internet, and I “attended” church that way for a while.
