This is Jocko Podcast number 559 with Echo Charles and me, Jocko Willink. Good evening, Echo. Good evening. August 2nd, 2006. The day my son took his final breath.
How can it have been 20 years? I remember that day so vividly. I remember those soul-piercing words that took my breath away and changed my life forever. We are sorry to inform you that your son, Navy SEAL Mark Lee, has been killed in action. I had been a widow for 12 years and survived that grief, but this is my child.
How can I breathe again? Grief has a way of stealing your breath. Yet when I felt like I couldn't breathe, God breathed for me. He comforted me and carried me when I didn't have the strength to stand. In the midst of the pain he gave me a new purpose and passion.
