About three years ago I struggled with a recurring difficulty in which I would suddenly feel as if I might pass out. Simultaneously, I would feel somewhat disoriented and very fearful.
On each occasion I sought and received immediate loving treatment from a Christian Science practitioner. I was always able to continue whatever activity I had been engaged in. At first the difficulty appeared rather frequently, but through my reliance on God, the challenges lessened. On none of these occasions did I ever actually lose consciousness. Affirming my oneness with God always stabilized the situation.
On a Mother's Day during this period of time my husband was out of town. I drove downtown to meet a son for dinner. In the middle of four lanes of unusually heavy traffic, I again felt I might pass out. Great fear gripped me, and I even felt that I might be on the verge of passing on. I was in urgent need of help, and there was no possibility of reaching a telephone to call for aid.
