Comedian Jim Breuer Leans on Christ as Wife Fights Cancer: ‘I Am so Blessed for … What I Still Have’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Former SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE cast member Jim Breuer is sharing his gratitude to God amid his wife’s cancer battle.
In an episode of his podcast, Breur discussed the moment his wife Dee got diagnosed.
“The doctors said, ‘There’s] nothing we can do. [The cancer] is everywhere,” he explained.
When he talked about the situation with a friend, he was asked about how the diagnosis had changed his relationship with God.
Breuer recalled, “[He said] I know you’re spiritual and you believe in God, and your wife is deep into the Word of Jesus, and born-again, she found her faith many years ago. How does that affect that now?”
He then asked if Breuer was mad at God.
The comedian replied, “To be dead honest with you, not at all. If anything, I’m not mad at what I will not have. I’m not mad at what’s being taken away. I’m not mad about what I’m not going to have anymore, but I am so … blessed for what I had, and what I still have.
“Do you know how many people never had the relationship I did and still have?” he continued. “Do you know how many incredible, lifesaving, emotional, deep-saving moments I’ve had with my wife, Dee?”
Breuer went on to say that he is blessed to have three children with Dee, as well as the life they have had together.
“You can either turn your back and be mad or you can look at it as, ‘Wow. I didn’t realize how beautiful life is and was when it’s right in front of you,'” he concluded.
