Behind the headlines, behind the politics, and behind the 110 pleas of the 5th Amendment, there are real families. Real people. Real loss.Β
In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing my mother's story. After my father passed in 2017, my mother's dementia advanced rapidly. What I thought was anxiety was actually the progression of the disease. In 2019, she suffered her first stroke. I spent over $100,000 of my own money on special care, and slowly but surely, she was starting to improve.Β
But then November 2019 hit. The world went into lockdown. She was locked out of her rehab facility, and I was locked out of seeing her. I was preparing her house to bring her home for therapy, but on the very last day before she was to return, she suffered a second stroke and passed away. It was because of the lockdowns that I was not able to give her the care she needed for a comeback.
If you have lost a loved one to the lockdowns or the policies of this era, I want you to know this: You are not alone. Romans 12:19 says, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." Justice sometimes comes in this life, but ultimately, everybody is accountable to God.Β
Psalm 34:18 promises, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted." And Revelation 21:4 assures us that one day, He will wipe every tear from your eyes. God sees your tears. God remembers your loss.
