Through deep waters
In the fall of 2007, my husband became aware of some health issues that concerned him. He had been a practicing Christian Scientist for over 30 years, so it was natural for him to turn to God for healing with the help of a Christian Science practitioner. About the same time, we began to experience the effects of the major financial crisis of 2008. Both of us were independently employed and we had no income for many months.
It was at this point that my husband grew discouraged about our financial situation and his health. He made the decision to discontinue working with the practitioner and to seek medical care.
Although he tried very hard to be a dutiful patient while under the care of several well-intentioned doctors, his health did not improve. Now, in addition to all our other bills, we had medical bills and no health insurance. The bills quickly added up and we were in debt for tens of thousands of dollars.
