Jeanne Pouchain is a 58-year-old French woman who can’t convince her government that she’s alive.  She was mistakenly declared dead by a judge in 2017 and has been trying to prove her viability ever since.  The declaration of her death has canceled her ability to work, get insurance, drive, or use a bank.  She’s even appeared before numerous judges with a certificate from her doctor stating that she is in fact alive, but to no avail.  Pouchain explained she can’t do anything because, “I no longer exist.”  Her lawyer is trying to get the ruling reversed but noted the challenges: “When an error is so enormous, it’s hard to admit.”  Similarly, the evidence of Jesus being alive is all around us, yet some simply find it “hard to admit.”
