DIAGNOSED BRAIN TUMOR HEALED

JOY STUTLER-GRANT

After serving in the United States Army for three years, in April 2004 my husband was deployed to Haiti on a humanitarian mission (see pp. 20–21).

Although I wasn't aware of it at the time, about a month after he'd left, I began to harbor resentment about a lot of things. I was angry that the Army had sent my husband thousands of miles away. I even resented that my husband had thought that it was a good idea to join the Army in the first place. On top of this, occasional everyday incidents started to annoy me. For example, on my way to pick up my daughter at school, I would get angry at other drivers who weren't paying full attention to their driving. This was one of many disturbances in my day.

Soon I started getting severe headaches and had difficulty taking care of our home. A good friend offered to come during the day to help me with our young son, and I was grateful for her help. But finally I realized that I needed to make a decision—either to have Christian Science treatment, or go to a doctor. I was brought up in Christian Science and had had many wonderful healings as a child and young adult through prayer. My friend, though, was pretty persuasive in urging me to have the situation checked out medically to see what the problem might be.
