Thank you for the explicit honesty. “Enduring well” is not easy. Doesn’t help to live in denial. Being submissive to whatever He seeth fit to “inflict” upon us is a true challenge. You have learned in one experience what it’s taken me too many years to internalize. Well done.

Such an amazingly well written, almost perfectly expressed sentiment and in it's own way a testimonial of the great plan of salvation. Only a mother could have expressed this.

This mortality is a testing ground. Perhaps (or more certainly than perhaps) this was just one test He allowed you to have to prove that through your Earthly trials (including a heart attack) you would choose Him. Our trials in mortality will be brief but some may seem so HUGE, as was this one for you. Keep the faith and keep holding fast to that iron rod and God will surely bless you for doing so. Thank you for sharing.

You have our empathy, gratitude and our agreement -- all of us millions of mothers who love the Lord. We will all progress eternally together.

If this was a social media post I would like it a million times. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and your feelings. You hit the nail on the head with your insight.

This is the best article I’ve read here in a very long time. So on point and SO doctrinal. Thank you for sharing.

I was 34 and my baby was 6 weeks and the youngest of 5 children 7 on down. This is a 1/10,000 chance of a lifetime! I had a stent put in, and have lived a normal life. Now I'm 62 and seeing the damage of my heart, dealing with other diseases, including breast cancer. I am still blest and know that even if we don't see it then, It is for our good!

Thanks for this -- very important to ponder.
