R.I.P. Bree

I’m probably not the first one to think this but I really think she looks like Jennifer Aniston. Seems like a beautiful inside and out person who made some bad decisions. Sending you good vibes, Bree. ❤️

RIP. So glad Mark got that last portrait. I thought it was Jennifer Anniston in the thumbnail.

When people help their “friends” get on Heroin .. they help them lose their kids , lose their home , lose their dignity then their life . You have this addiction KEEP IT FOR YOURSELF! This woman didn’t need to die

As a recovering heroin addict, I am so extremely thankful that I did not have kids until after I was clean. Lord please bless me with the guidance to continue this way.

RIP....so sad that you died....You seemed to be such a loving and kind person...condolences to your family...you were loved and still are....too sad..

RIP Bree. ♥️🙏. You were so incredibly sad. I pray that you are in a better place, free of your demons and will someday be reunited with your loving family.

I truly hope her kids can see this and know that she was simply too broken to parent them. She loved them, she just didn't know how to save herself.

This is so tragic and sad. Rest in heaven beautiful Bree. You’re finally free. 🕊

The depth of her sadness is visceral. I could relate to her depression, even though I'm not an addict and I haven't lost any children... I cannot imagine.

This channel really puts into perspective just how deadly addiction is.

Seeing her break down once she starts to talk about her kids is so heartbreaking . You can see the sadness and you know she knows she has let them down. And to now hear that she has passed makes me so depressed 😔. Not that it matters much but without the drugs you can tell she could’ve been a real beauty . This one really bummed me out . RIP Bree, you’re at last not suffering anymore

Her father sounds like a wonderful man. He sounds like he’s tried and tried and tried. I wish only the best for her children.

The shots you get before the interview officially starts and we see a person simply existing. 👌🏻

I love this channel but it can be so incredibly sad knowing people live like this. I have so much empathy for all these people struggling… really puts life into perspective

Thank you for giving people a voice. So muuuuch respect for both of you.

This is so heartbreaking. If you've never seen an addict go through withdrawals you have no idea. I've seen it many times. It's hard to comprehend why they go back to dope. At the same time I understand. They're vomiting, shaking, diarrhea, cravings, hurting, not able to eat. It's horrible. They know all of that pain can be fixed in an instant.

Oh wow. Jennifer Aniston look alike.

I am so sorry to hear of her passing...her suffering is over though....rest in peace dear one....

I hope her children get to see this and know how much she really loved them. Addiction is a disease she couldn’t overcome :( rest easy babygirl. YOU ARE LOVED❤️

"i feel out of place and weird when i'm around just average people".. i think so few people understand that part of recovery. like it's just so easy to stop hanging out with people who have similar experiences to choose to be around people who've never seen that side of life. or worse people who judge people who have seen/done those things.. it's either a secret part of yourself or it's an identifier. it's easy to say that's not true until you've experienced it.. rest in love Bree. you're free and whole now..

My love to her family. Thank you Mark for letting her beautiful voice be heard while there was still time.

Heartbroken to have lost another beautiful person to drugs. I have lost so many friends to drugs and the pain never goes away. I pray Bree is at peace and I am truly sorry. 💕💜💕🌹✌🏻🙏🏻

The friend who pushed her to try heroin is evil. She knew damn well what that would lead to. Misery sure does love company.

Heroin is a hell of a drug. It will rob you of EVERYTHING until you have nothing left. And when all you have left to give is your life, you will gladly give it up 💔

When she explains how her son hung up just from hearing his MOTHER voice omg heartbreaking!!! Her entire story is fucked up, but that hit worse for me. AND that was the last contact and the fact she’s gone now-wow! Pain is EVERYWHERE for them and I pray God won’t let them let go of him-AMEN LORD, IT SHALL BE ❤️‍🩹🙏🏿

I was adopted in 1963, my mom looked a lot like this woman, I just made contact with family last year through DNA, I have a full sister and my dad is still alive, mom passed 20 years ago and my little brother passed in 2016.

For many years I have been a volunteer working with foster children, their biological parents and foster parents. These dear children, because of their parents’ addiction, live in a continuing Hell for a very long time, sometimes for their entire childhoods. Their parents wander in and out of their children lives and in and out of rehab and in and out of jail and in and out of abusive relationships. Most often these children do not have a good outcome. I’m sorry for these addicted parents and their struggles. I’ve met some brave and compassionate parents who have given up their children in order to assure them a healthier and happier life. God bless them all.

Poor you woman you could see the exhaustion and pain in her eyes hopefully she’s at peace now if she did pass away

Rest in Peace Bree. You didn't deserve to die. Damn. Such beauty snuffed out. This is sad. Anytime someone from SWU passes I shed a tear..

RIP to this sweet sweet soul. Today I will pray for all those behind her who struggle with addiction. Heartbreaking

I can only imagine how terrible her former best friend must feel if she sees this video. That is, if she is still alive. So very tragic that her family has lost her to this evil drug. Fly high dearheart and may you find inner peace on the Other Side. 💗

I always feel sad when I watch these videos but this is the first one I've cried along with. The sadness and hoplesssness just broke my heart. And now I've just read she passed 😢 I hope her children see how much she truly loved them.

RIP Bree! I hope you find the peace you’ve been looking for all your life in the afterlife. It brings be to tears.

My heart goes out to her kids, family, so sad.

Imagine if the system allowed her to go to the mommy and me program instead of jail. She could have continued the recovery path she was on. Can’t help but think she’d be alive and well. It sounded like she was having success and very determined to continue the recovery process.

Bless her soul. I hope she's in heaven living her best forever life. Rest In Peace Bree You deserved better from this world. You are loved and although you're gone, you're still loved and thought of ❤🤍

My life is not perfect, but I'm so lucky to have had real parents.

Just hearing such a profound sense of loneliness. It’s so difficult when we’re going through something that others may try to be understanding about it but they don’t really get how difficult it actually is.

Thanks to your work I from the other side of the world now know her story and that this beautiful woman existed. You will be remembered and heard Bree, your life was not a waste. Rest in peace.

My heart goes out to you Bree, I know your a good soul . Depression is a heavy burden to carry and any relief at first seems (heroin) to be a cure , but is only a deeper cravat into the downward spiral . Seek the Light within you .

Mark it must be hard for you to film these stories. You’re an amazing person.

Rest In Peace beautiful lady. So sad that untreated depression and anxiety can lead to addiction to hard drugs. 😢 Maybe if she’d had just one more chance to get and stay clean.

There's such a kind person behind those eyes. Her old friend wasn't a friends, but a predator.

Her thumbnail... She looks like a humanitarian or an anthropologist or a journalist or TV personality; she's beautiful... Rest in peace Breezy :(

Until I watched the other video I didn't know she had died wow. At least she is at rest now because she just looked like she was in so much pain physically and mentally

Every time I watch one of these I feel grateful to not be in that situation. Im grateful I made the right choices when it could have gone so easily the other way for me. So many beautiful people lost and suffering from addiction.. Breaks your heart ...

This is a Woman that loves her kids and they loved her. I hope that she is finally at peace. 🌹

I remember this young lady ,.. I hope she is doing better , her spirits seems so defeated , 😔 then again putting the heaviness and mental anguish addiction brings into retrospect i understand my ♡ aches for her , I sincerely wish her & her family well , may she be liberated from that evil grip addiction has on her.

Heartbreaking interview. This woman needs an immediate intervention and a team of doctors to help her recover...my prayers to her and her family. She seems very sweet but severely depressed. I hope she gets the necessary help she needs. She deserves so much better as do her sons.

I was unaware that she had passed until I read the comments. This channel is so great but incredibly sad at the same time. RIP ❤

I hope Bree finds forgiveness from herself and those she loves. *Very sad to hear that Bree has died.

Saddened seeing RIP just now in the comments :( In her B&W still, she reminded me of Jennifer Anniston. She was beautiful and seemed like a kind soul. May she rest in peace, indeed.

I am so sorry to hear she has passed away ! Prayers for her family ! I know they have suffered for years worried about her !

oh no. she was a very sweet, sensitive soul. aww my heart breaks for her son's. RIP Angel

Thank you Mark for bringing this venue to us. Mental disorders creates the drug "band-aid" ... and the drug usages... spawns the mental issues... both/all.... are masked as the homeless population. California needs to get some real leadership with resolves to get these people true help... and out of this vicious cycle. Although so many of these lost souls had drug issues from other States ... here they are... in a "sanctuary city" of death. RIP Bree. I pray that your pain has been released.

No matter what these interviewees are talking about , as soon as they get on the subject of losing or missing their children they instantly break down. A mother’s heart is automatic. Children should always come first but unfortunately these addicted situations cause the loss of babies. So sad.

Heartbreaking especially when I found out she just died. Oh my God its too sad

This was the most difficult to watch. Such a beautiful soul. A tragic ending. I cried with her.

I try. I really do. I cannot imagine having a parent(s) that are addicts. Especially when the hardest drugs are always used. Such a sad merry-go-round. 😪 😪

*i just wanna give her a hug, I understand how she feels as I lost my siblings to adoption, my mother had ZERO motherly instinct, they got out easy, with that said the excruciating pain of having to say goodbye or not being able too, you then feel like your questioning yourself after* I hope there is an update on how she's doing xx

This is heartbreaking!!!! To lose a child has to be horrific. Praying she can find peace.

Time to provide these people with pharmaceutical opioids. They are safer and cheaper then street heroin which is just fentanyl anymore. It infuriates me to see this woman in this situation. If we are ever to get this opioid epidemic under control we MUST move away from prohibition and move toward harm reduction. Studies show when people are provided with a safe and reliable supply of heroin or diliaudid that they are much more likely to seek help and get a job. Its obvious because they arent spending every minute looking for the drug or the money to buy the drug. It frees them up to have time to reflect and consider different options. In other words it frees them from the hustle and gives them time to actually live their lives. Opiate addicts are not like drunks the vast majority can function just as well as somebody whos not on opiates. We need to spread this information and force change. These are real people and good people and they are worth helping. Their problems are our problems and we need to bring this to the forefront because they deserve better. They deserve to have lives too.

Rest Peacefully♡🕊️

I’ve watched so many of these and have been upset but this one is crushing me. I can see the normal in all of these people who this channel interviews. I can see the normal in Bree as well. Under all the addiction and all the crying. Remember … she was just like the rest of us before drugs changed her brain function. Don’t ever spit on addicts. I’d Narcan someone infinity times if it means the person will one day get clean. I read the post where she’s passed away. God rest her soul and I pray that she is free from this pain she’s suffered. My heart goes out to her kids but especially the one who hung up on her on his birthday. That poor boy will never be able to shake that. Her fathers heart must be permanently destroyed. My heart is shattered for all of them. Rest in Beauty and Peace Bree.

I've been a heroin addict for21 years my daughter almost23 years old. I took care of her a 3rd of her childhood. She has a lot of Resentment towards me, And the choices I made ,I never hit her, abused her in the physical sense. But I wasn't there, I thought I was doing the right thing by letting her stay with her grandmother it was a better situation than what I could provide at that time. She has every right to fill that way and I have no right To tell her how to feel .Just remember not everyone will forgive you once you get clean and change your life. Everyone heals on own time, maybe they won't ever forgive you and there is nothing you can do about it. These are the choices we made. God bless. It gets better.

Rest in peace 🙏

Her son hanging up on her broke my heart in half knowing that she has passed my condolences to her family and friends especially her children 🙏🙏🙏

Rest easy Breezy.

I am so sad for how life turned out for this woman. May she rest in eternal peace among the Angels.

Bree, I love you and I wish I could give you a big hug! You are up against a wall. My 16 year old hasn't spoken to me in a year so I know how much that hurts. You can and will break out of this prison. Just do one thing every day that will get you closer to getting your life back. I bet this video will open doors for you. The fear of getting clean is worse then the reality of it. I'm sending you uplifting thoughts and energy. ❤️❤️❤️

This must be one of the saddest cases I've watched on this channel...This poor woman. I hope she is at rest now.

I hope her family is able to cope with the loss. I can’t imagine the pain her father must feel seeing his child throw her life away. It sounds to me like he did all he could. The conflicting feelings her children must have about her . Sending love their way.

Mark, how many people that you interviewed have passed away? My brother just passed away at 25 years old this summer from an overdose. I’m sometimes shocked at how long everyone’s bodies tolerates this lifestyle. It’s so sad but for some reason watching these interviews makes me understand the addiction more and more with each person.

If she had led a clean life she would've been stunning. RIP, Bree.

Seeing all these videos and interviews. The scale of human suffering and destruction... leaves me at a loss for words.

RIP SWEET LADY. No more suffering, no more depression. Your Boys have a guardian Angel 😇 now.

wow, you can tell she had a kind heart, kind people are sometimes gullible from the lack of judgement for their own safety , she reminds me of my Sister who went through this exact same thing ,whom is also dead now, may they both RIP .

Every Politician, Law Enforcement Officer, Doctor, and Educator/Student should watch this interview..Bree is amazing. Always interesting, thanks!

Rip bree you beautiful soul 💘 so heart wrenching , this is the last potrait of her and i hope her kids know how much she loved them regardless 😔 thank you mark for everything you do ..

So sad i wanna cry after seeing the rest in peace comment.this women was beautiful.inside and out actually had a heart and conscience

We are all biological computers. Still very vulnerable to substances. If you never started, please don't. Hope science will evolve one day that will turn off these monster cravings.

So sad to learn she’s passed away, rest in peace Bree 🙏🏻

This is the hardest one I've ever watched. Poor mama and poor sons.

How do not burst into tears with some of them......man

Sometimes being the best mother you can be means letting your child go..Putting your child first means making sure they are safe..Admitting you are not in a place where you are able to provide that means you are giving your child the best life you can with the resources you have available to you right now..We can all daydream about and chase some kind of ideal..but reality is what it is..Making sure your kids are being taken care of, so that you are free to cut yourself from everything that is contributing to this life you have fallen into, and find a way to take care of and love yourself first..That is the least selfish thing you could do right now..

Goodmorning all, lets give everyone we encounter today the benefit of the doubt. God bless Bree & protect her out there.

My heart is so heavy for her, very sad. A beautiful woman is 🧚‍♂️🇮🇪☘

Poor darling she was young and beautiful and so much life there to live . Drug addiction is such a cruel disease RIP Beauriful Bree fly high 🙏🙏

Jen Aniston really nailed this role

So much pain. I pray she finally has the peace that she deserves. 🙏🏻😢

Watching this poor, tortured soul makes me so thankful for my position is life. How can I complain about the trivial problems that I have, when their are people in worse situations? Bless you Bree, may you Rest In Peace sweet soul. 🌹💜🙏🏽

My son and his father struggle with addiction, such a horrible addiction....such a beautiful woman, so sad

Rip Breeze I'm so sad you lost your battle 🥺 it's so hard seeing how much your hurting in this video. I'm sending prayers to your family and hope your son's are doing okay. I know they have to miss there mommy. I pray your watching over them boys and protecting them and that this addiction doesn't fall upon them. It's no way to live!

She is gorgeous! RIP Beautiful Lady!

It’s really crazy how we watch. Skid row. Take the souls. Of so many people..

Its really great that you make these people visible. I hope the president watches these.

Is this the "Bree" that MacKensie (from the previous interview) was referring to who recently died from a spinal infection?

I'm usually very numb towards these interviews but this one kind of hit differently. RIP Bree

Heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking.
