Because I was deeply religious...

Because I was deeply religious yet emotionally and mentally undisciplined, my young womanhood and short married life were difficult years; and because I feared sickness, I had much of it with which to contend. I was like a rudderless ship in a stormy sea. Neither the schools nor the church which I had attended prior to my study of Christian Science nor my parents had given me the answer to my question, "Why am I here?"

After many months of trying to find my place so that I might care for my son and myself, I collapsed completely. I had been seeking help in Christian Science, and the thought came, "Call a practitioner."

With the help of a telephone operator, I was able to reach a practitioner, and in a short while I was strong enough to call a cab and get to a friend's house. Two days later, physically healed but without a gleam of gratitude, I again started to fret and struggle with fear, and again I collapsed. This time I had to earn my healing.
