After eighteen years of what I considered to be a happy marriage, I was informed by my husband that he no longer loved me and wished to be released from our marriage. This came as a terrible shock, and I could not believe he really meant it. I did all that was humanly possible to convince him to stay with me, but he would not change his mind.

Once on my own, I felt I had been deserted. My husband and I had often talked about all the places we would go and the things we would do after our daughter and son had graduated from high school. Now all my hopes, plans, and security seemed to have been stripped from me. Depression sank in, and I struggled to be free of the problems I faced.

I contacted a Christian Science practitioner in a city one hundred and fifty miles away and asked for her support. How grateful I am for this practitioner's patience, perception, and love. For over a year I had daily telephone conversations with her. Sometimes fear prompted me to call two or three times during the day and night.
