A path away from thoughts of suicide and despair

Spiritual insights from Christian Science lead to new outlook.

Suicide, thought Susie Jostyn, couldn’t be the answer. But junior year, there she was—on the floor of her university dorm room, wondering if she should end her life. It was at that moment that the ideas Jostyn had learned as a student in the Christian Science Sunday School—ideas about God, and God’s love and care for her—came flooding back. Thanks to Christian Science, says Jostyn, she’s alive today. And life looks a whole lot different.
