I am very grateful that I became acquainted with Christian Science thirty years ago. I have had many healings and received many blessings solely by studying and understanding passages in Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy.

Four years ago I had an experience that I consider a milestone in my life. My husband had to be away on business in a city in the north of Brazil for almost six months, far from our home. When he'd been away for almost three months, I was facing severe challenges with our oldest son, not only in our home but also because of behavior at school. I had many household duties, bills to pay, and other problems with the children. All this led to a troubled mental state. I started to lose my appetite, felt constant nausea, and sometimes dizziness.

My husband would call me several times a week, but always to tell me that he did not know when he would be coming home. When he was finally able to come to see us, he said he still had a lot of work to do, and that he would have to continue living in that distant city for several more months. He did not know when he would be coming home for good, and I was profoundly disturbed by this.
