Oh Tori, I am so sorry for you that you endured such blatant evil from your own family at such a difficult and vulnerable time while still grieving!! Wow! You are rock solid and strong and courageous! I stand and applaud you and also give you a hug for your determination. And thank you to your friend who stepped up and covered you so you wouldn’t be homeless. Shame on your family.

Thank you for sharing and I do hope that someday you will be back on your feet, even stronger. I pray for a soft hear toward The Lord even in your anger and grief, and that God will bless you beyond your own imagination. That He will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten. I’m so sorry you lost your husband. Peace and Grace to you Tori.

You make me cry...but that's the silver lining in these bad things, that there is SO much good and so many good people. So grateful to witness this! Thank you for the prayers, I so treasure prayer above all else!

Honestly, out of all the comments I’ve read today YOURS hit me hard. I did stop and pray for you. Some of us stood up against this psychological operation and some of us…like you…stood up in the midst of excruciating circumstances. I thought about the book of Job in the Bible. No fault of his own but he lost everything. He stayed faithful to The Lord and I am in awe of that. God blessed him in the years later in such amazing ways. It doesn’t take away from the grief and pain you have had to walk through, but it does help to know God is for you and not against you, just like Job. If you are not familiar with Job look him up in the Bible. I can’t say I know much of anything but my heart is praying you come close to the heart of Jesus in your pain and suffering and that He will lift you up and set you back on your feet. Even years later…..God won’t forget what your family did to you. He can and will forgive them if they ask…. But God remembers your pain. Your tears are not for nothing. You are not forgotten, nor are you tossed aside. I don’t usually do this or say this stuff, but like I said, hearing your story hit me hard. Blessings upon blessings upon your head and heart Tori.

You are so kind...see, often times the pain lets us see the flip side, which is love. My story is not even so unique. I know of a young married woman, 3 kids, a husband debilitated by MS, and she was forced to choose between her job and her livelihood. Mercifully, she chose to risk her job---and the insurance that came with it---to stand up and refuse. She will be litigating this, now, so praying for favorable resolution for her. It's time for the tide to turn back to sanity. Thank you so much for your prayers...I know from experience that they work, if not immediately, then in God's time.

Tori, I like how you put that - being able to see/experience the flip side. I never felt the love side as greatly as after being plunged into the devastating side. Equal but opposite I dare say? Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, we know each other, and Jeff's C&C helps facilitate it. ❤️
