I lost my 24 year old son 7 years ago to fentanyl overdose. As parents, we thought sending our son to college to get an education in accounting was the right thing. What we didn't know was our son meeting the wrong type of friends that got him hooked on painkillers. When he couldn't get painkillers anymore, he turned to heroin. The day my son died I thought he was just tired from doing a double shift at work. I knew he needed to sleep before going back to work. A few hours later someone called the house looking for my son. His dad is the one who found dead in his bed. I lived with the guilt of not checking on him for many years. I miss my son Aaron to pieces there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him.

The anxiety was most likely the result of withdrawal. I had a terrible skydiving accident and I have to take opioids for life. I’ve been taking them for a very long time but at prescription doses. I’ve never abused them. Still, I am dead sure that if I had to drop them tomorrow, I’d face terrible anxiety. If you don’t have to take these medications and you are doing it for the high, you don’t know the kind of door to hell that you are opening. I think that these videos are super important. Everybody should hear this. Thank you for this.

True, if they don’t except Jesus as their savior and repent. But remember 2 Peter 3:9 says: The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. So as long as there’s breath in any person’s lungs there’s a chance they can be saved. Pray for their salvation rather than their judgment. We too were once headed to hell. God bless you ✝️🙏🏽

I remember when I first started watching these I had posted that it affected me so bad that I made sure to tell my eight year old about this poisonous pill and drugs that are out and someone in the comments told me that I shouldn’t be talking to my eight-year-old about it. That it was too soon and I wanted to slap the hell out of that person. I’m never going to stop talking to my children about the dangers of fentanyl. I don’t care how old they are. I don’t care if they promise me they’ll never touch anything I’m going to continue to warn my children because I wouldn’t be able to live if this happened to me, no matter how old your kids are teach them about the dangers of fentanyl and pills in general drugs in its entirety .living here in the state of Florida.

I to lost my husband on 12/31/22 someone gave him something that had pure fentanyl (he did not do drugs) it killed him in minutes in front of me and our younger kids 13/10 it was and is so traumatizing. The part where you said “your heart hurt for 2 weeks” I also felt that like my heart physically hurt and every time I let my mind go back to any part of that day that pain comes back. My 13 yr old son was amazing he told his 10 yr old sister to go outside (so she wouldn’t see) and even told me to not put him on his back cause he will choke so we kept him on his side until I started doing cpr but before I did I look over (as I was talking to 911) and I see our 13 trying to do cpr on him. That day will forever be engraved in my mind for so many reasons. We also have a 35,26,24 yr old kids and they each got here on time to see their dad before they took him 😭 now I tell everyone his story cause it literally only takes 1 time and your gone.

I’m sorry for your loss. I just lost my 24 year old niece to fentanyl on April 11, 2024. She was a beautiful and talented and loving young lady. My heart breaks for anyone who has or is going through such loss.

OOOh Mimi, you dont deserve the pain..I can feel your love and your sadness. I think we need to rethink about what death means..maybe it isnt the opposite to life, maybe is something way different, even better than life, otherwise why this sensitive beautiful people have to suffer so much..maybe now they are really living.

What a lovely woman. How unfair is life?! She didn’t deserve all this heartbreak. Losing a daughter and grandson who were both so young. I couldn’t be this strong. I hope she and her family can find some peace. She deserves it

I think its really hard for people that have no experience with drugs to take care of and help people that are on drugs, they can be minapulated and can't see everything a former drugs user can see and its sad ,they are fighting a losing battle feel terrible for them.

Can I add one thing here? Doctors play a huge role from the start. They send you home with prescribed pain killers which they never keep enough tabs on the many patients they so willingly hand them out to. You ask anyone who is an addict and how it started, and I can almost bet it was due to seeing a doctor for a procedure, whatever it may be. Then it is to late, they dismiss you and treat you like a piece of crap, making you feel as bad as you feel when the pills are gone and you are told you cannot have anymore. So what happens? They turn to anything to fight the withdrawals. My sympathy to this poor woman who lost so much and is hurting! Your daughter and grandson hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for letting me have my say.

Several of our stories do address, or at least mention, how doctors play a role in the beginning of addiction.
@jacquelinehernandez7656 3 ай бұрын
Exactly! That is why I always caution my love ones when they have procedures and if possible don’t take them as often because they are addictive. When I had my wisdom teeth taken out, all 4, I never got a prescription I was asked if I wanted one and I said no only ibuprofen. I took ibuprofen and lots of ice and that was that. Doctors should be held accountable and drug traffickers too because we are losing our youth to these drugs daily!

@@jacquelinehernandez7656 You are so right!! It is hard to understand why doctors, dentists, etc, offer them opiates so easily. And they don't care about age either. My son had his wisdom teeth pulled when he was 14! I forget the exact amount of the prescription he was given, but they also put 1 refill on the Vicodin prescription.

This broke my heart, she’s so cute, I just want to give her a hug. she reminded me so much of my grandma, & she has also done all she could to help me overcome ny addiction, she was the only one that never missed a Sunday when I was in rehab for 3 months. I relapsed twice since then. I can’t ever put her through this, she’s already seen me at my worst.

Why is noone talking about the mental health crisis though? Taking pain meds for anxiety ? They’ll be other pain meds … but the root cause of these deaths will still remain intreated.
