My daughter committed suicide several years ago & I found her hanging in her closet! Impossible to get over it! You can only go through it.😔
My heart goes out to you. RIP daughter and peace to you too.
So sorry for your loss 😢
I am so sorry for your loss.🤍🙏
I'm so sorry that you found your daughter that way. 💔
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
“I couldn’t save mine, but hopefully I can save yours”. Those words she ended on, really choked me up. Thank you for sharing your story.
i felt it too.
The end destroyed me 😭😭
That hit me like a baseball bat
I feel more sorry than words can say for this woman, but…. I still don’t think she has accepted that there was so much more wrong with her sons than drug use alone. It doesn’t sound as of the deep seated issues causing the substance abuse were ever addressed. Requiring alcohol to face middle school is not normal. The fact that she couldn’t tell her son was perpetually drunk is also concerning. As a teenager, I experienced sudden, inexplicable extreme abdominal pains. After months of tests, doctors had no idea what the problem was. One of the doctors spoke to my mother privately and asked if I could be experimenting with drugs. My mother laughed because she knew me inside and out and knew that wasn’t the problem. We later figured out that I had probably been experiencing abdominal migraines, as I have had croton the age of 10. My cousin’s son was diagnosed with abdominal migraines and we put the pieces together. My point though, is my parents not only knew my brother and me, but our friends as well. If I was coming home black out drunk, no one would have been ok with that. They would have been incredibly concerned the first time and would have fought to make sure we never needed to numb ourselves that way again. My heart breaks for this woman and I think she experienced a perfect storm of genetic predisposition mixed with at times, willful denial.
@@Catmom-gl5ntthe other brother started the same road as his brother because he passed away, prior he didn’t do anything. Which especially for twins isn’t abnormal, it’s already painful to lose your sibling, as a twin it’s even harder. The idea that there HAS to be a root to everything, or why some people drink and other don’t, doesn’t necessarily mean there are problems within the family. There still IS a lot to learn about addiction. But the idea it’s just the bottom of the barrel is long gone and why these series. It can happen with literally EVERYONE. Her son just gave an excuse for his drinking. Not every anxious person will drink. Not every person who drinks in childhood will die of OD. My neighbor was 50 when she became addicted, due to getting pain meds. And it’s been a long road since. As long as we treat addiction as if it only happens to damaged or low IQ, or poor people, it will never get solved. It again can happen to anyone
I absolutely respect how this beautiful Mama doesn’t sugar coat her story. Or try to make excuses. She told it like it is. Sincere condolences for the loss of your precious sons. God bless your family.🥰🙏🏼🥰
I agree

I totally agree!
Oh Mama, I just want to hug you.
Thank you to every person who tells their child’s story on this channel. I hope you all know how incredibly meaningful it is.
This is the hardest one I’ve heard in this series this woman has been to the farthest type of hell and back she doesn’t deserve this sending prayers and this woman is so likeable and I just can’t even believe this happened to her it just kept getting worse and worse and worse. Jesus these videos always inspire me to stay sober I never want my mom to feel this way. I’ve put her through so much in my addiction. This woman is literally the strongest person in the entire world. I was actually crying like crying crying watching this. None of these have ever made me cry and I’m sobing.
Some stories affect us differently. I'm proud of you for being sober. ❤ Keep it going!
I've yet to watch one of these videos without crying every single time. I also watch them to stay clean as I can't let my parents lose another child. They already lost my 2 older brothers too young. I kicked fent and heroin over 2 years ago and haven't touched it since. I simply don't want to die and more importantly don't want my parents to lose another kid. They had 4 boys and no daughters. Now they only have two sons. Me and my younger brother, if they lost just one more of us I think they would die of heartbreak. At least my mom probably would based on how hard it's been on her. I feel guilty every single day that i even used fentanyl for the short time period that I did (6 months max daily use) I could have and should have died MANY dif times.
Watching these videos just solidifies me into not relapsing or even dabbling with ANY drug on the street. I won't even experiment with coke or meth anymore because it can be laced. Same goes for Xanax, I'll only take benzos if im prescribed them which isnt nearly enough but worth not getting fent. I overdosed one time on a xanax bar and it made me blackout stop breathing and had to be narcanned multiple times in hospital till i woke up at home on my couch the next with zero recollection of the overdose or hospital trip. Nothing.
Just remembering popping the bar and thinking wow it tastes awfully bitter so it must be good shit (had loads of fake bunk bars before with nothing in them but chalk) so i was glad i didnt get ripped. I had some left after the OD and I tested em with a fentanyl strip. They all came back positive for fentanyl. One red line. I couldn't believe it. This was back in 2018. Why they would lace a supposed BENZO with a deadly dose of an opioid when they aren't even the same drug I thought. Obviously to kill people on purpose which is sickening. You won't get repeat customers if their dead off the first $4 fentanyl bar.
@merk.9285 Congratulations on your 2 years of sobriety! You're 💯 correct in saying that your poor parents can not lose anymore sons. Use whatever you can to keep your sobriety. I think not wanting to die is a damn good reason. You already beat the reaper once. Please don't do that again. We're all still glad you're here! ❤️🩹👍
Congratulations to you!!! Keep pushing!!!
Congrats on your sobriety ❤ Keep up the hard work
My God is it hard to be a mother no matter what kind of kid you have. Moms are just destined to suffer too. ❤️
Sadly, it's a thankless job.
We gotta find our own peace sometimes. Cant always connect our happiness with the kids happiness because if they are falling to pieces, you give your best support and then find your own joy.
This poor mother had to deal with all the suffering times 2. I can't imagine.
I don't think of motherhood as thankless at all. Though sad, this mother got to bring two beautiful lives into this world, and though their time on earth ended
too soon, she can find solace in the time and fond memories they shared in this life. My adult children express their gratitude and thankfulness to me very often and I am blessed to see the lives they've built for themselves. That's all the thanks we should need. She'll see her boys again 😊. @hunnydoo7737
I would not say thankless. It’s just our kids don’t understand our feelings, we so desperately want them to be happy and it’s very hard to see them struggle. Every child will struggle, and usually grows out of it. Then when they become parents they begin to understand someone is dependent and how you want to love and protect your child and it’s beautiful but also painful. Let people be the ages they are. They will catch up
Ma'am you were the most involved, supportive and sacrificial mom I have ever seen in my life. There are no more "what if I had" You did it all and then some. Coping skills development is key. I've heard it over and over from veteran professional workers in that area.
That last line just absolutely broke my heart, “I couldn’t save mine, but hopefully I can save yours” 😭
I’m crying as I write this. That lovely woman, mom to her beautiful boys…so gut wrenching that she and her family had to go through the loss of not just one but both of her sons. Her twin boys. I can’t believe that. If she ever reads this, kindly know that I’m hugging you virtually as one mom to another. I’m so very sorry for your incredible loss and know that you were everything to those young men, your sons, who loved you very much. You are so strong and brave, that you even get up each morning, let alone go to a job that you hope makes a difference in someone else’s child’s life. God bless you. ❤
All the love in the world to this mother. I watch one of these stories every day and her story will live in my heart forever. “I couldn’t save mine, but maybe I can save yours.” Not a drop of your love falls on barren land. Thank you for showing us your journey.
This poor woman. Just illustrates the frustrating lack of help for mental health and addiction
The insurance card showing up the day of the funeral is just painful
yeah really quite sinister actually.
I gasped. But this is the state of healthcare in the US. I still can't get over the rehab place not doing the paperwork. That kid was a heroine addict, its not something to toy with and if he wanted help, you give it to him.
She should have sued that rehab!
I hope so..unbelievable
The ultimate slap in the face just infuriating! Ppl are so selfish your employees have more paperwork so they wont accept a patient absolutely disgusting actually illegal id think you cant get government funds and refuse to see folks as far as i know.
Losing both of your twins in this way must have been crushing. My 4 month old died of SIDS, and I still can't imagine the pain this mom is living with. What a tragic loss. 💔
Sorry for the loud of your sweet baby. ❤
I’m sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry. How awful that must have been.
So very sorry for your loss. My dear friend lost her son the same way.
I’m so sorry your loss
To suffer the loss of twins to fentanyl is simply unimaginable as a mother 💔
My sister has lost two sons, one was murdered in 2005, he was 31 and her second son died in 2021 in April five days before her birthday 😢 he died of overdose and he was 46 so she's been hurting for years. I'm so sorry for anyone who is suffering from this nightmare drug
so sorry for your sisters loss of her two sons bless you both ❤❤
So sorry for your loss 😢
I honestly don’t know how she has managed to hold on before and especially after. To say she has been through a lot is definitely an understatement!
Your last words..."I couldn't save mine, but hopefully I can save yours."😭😭😭
Every parent should have their kids watch this. My heart goes out to you and your family❤️
You never not once gave up on those young men. You are one of the best mothers I have ever heard speak. You should be proud of yourself. You did nothing wrong and everything right. I’m sorry things happened that way nobody deserves that especially a loving, kind , articulate person like you. Thank you for your story.
OMG .. When she said his insurance card came on the day of his funeral... my jaw dropped. That's SO crazyyyyy. What a FLAWED system; completely could've been avoided!
Easily avoided. Don’t take pills from unlicensed, unqualified people on the streets. Why complicate it? These Fentanyl deaths will not stop, because too many people refuse to accept that these laced pills were not ingested accidentally. It’s tragic and it’s senseless. Sick individuals are poisoning pills as a form of entertainment and it’s just a vicious cycle and that includes the cycle feeding the videos to the TH-cam masses. Sickening what society finds acceptable today.
If only life were so black and white.
This poor sweet mother has lived a thousand lives in one lifetime. So much sadness. The psych medications are not always the answer. Both boys needed so much. This family fought an uphill battle. I had my daughter watch this. Your video will help save lives.
I can't imagine the pain of losing not 1 but 2 kids to the same evil. May you be strengthened by the work you now do, saving others from drug addiction.
AMEN !
Thank you for sharing! I could not save my son either. Sending you all my love and prayers ❤️🙏
Hugs. Me either 💔
😔😢🙏🙏
I’m sorry for your loss.
As a mama in recovery, I pray every day that my struggles prevent my boys from using. I cannot fathom losing them this way. 😭
I’m so sorry mama. I have no other words but I’m so sorry. 😢
You got this mama!!! you will make it through Amen!!! 👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤎
💙🙏🏼👊🏽
Samers
I quit the pills
But when they dad died cause of the same thing
I relapsed
I pray every night
Please god
I can't leave my son's behind
I was clean off morphine pills
But relapsed
These videos
I am quiting
Getting the help
@mandy7131 you got this! ❤️❤️
Prayers and hugs for you mom. Can’t imagine going thru this with two kids.
I am so sorry for your losses. I went through almost the same thing. My son was a self medicating schizophrenic. He died of a fentanyl overdose last summer. Same struggle. The US does not take care of the mentally ill. Mental Healthcare is atrocious in this country.
Again, I'm sorry for your loss, my condolences.
'I couldn't save mine, but hopefully i can save yours' -- this had me in instant tears
This is so touching and you are so brave ❤️
I’ve put my mom through so much too Moms are super hero’s
And yet we live in cultures where men carry family name… something is upside down with him we live.
Me too
This mother broke my heart...two young sons gone, yet , she keeps going and fighting for other people's children....I'm wiping tears away...
Her pain is so tangible. 💔
Mama, I am so sorry for the loss of your sons. Your story broke my heart. I🙏🏻
We have clearly lost the “war on drugs “ it’s worse than when they started this campaign in the 80’s. 😢
Nobody cared then.
'A war ' on anything is doomed to failure.@@shazondiabailey9013
Back in earlier decades, kids took drugs to party, get high. Now they are self medicating for their mental health. Tragic.
The war is against now they killing us china,Mexico. While we dump money in Ukraine
Thank you Biden!
God bless and keep both Matt, Ryan and their family. What a nightmare for the mother....giving birth to children creates such a bond for a lifetime. Part of her passed when her sons passed.
I lost my son to fentanyl 3 years ago. I can't imagine losing 2 kids. All the changes that poor mom went thru 💔 I can relate 🫂
My heart is crying for this lady. Losing her 2 sons and dealing with her husband health and frustrated with the place that turned her son down for no insurance card. Bless her heart. My prayers are with you 🙏 ❤️
There are no words adequate to acknowledge your horrific loss. God bless you and your entire family.
i agree...i feel like if i say anything to show support or acknowledge its just gunna be completely insufficient.
Omg. I just want to hug this poor mother and help her in any way possible. It's definitely the saddest one of these stories I've watched. As this ended I thanked my HP that I've been clean from opiates for 11.5 years. My mother retired in 2013 and I got clean in 2012 and I'm so grateful I'm not putting her through the hell of my active addiction. We have grown so close and have done some amazing things together. If I had not gotten clean and something happened to my mom, I know I would feel responsible. And, the guilt would eat me alive. I too have mental health issues and thought I would never be able to live without opiates. The truth is that my mental health is ten times better without drugs. Sending all my love and light to this amazing Mom.
pain medication dont half to be a bad thing there are millions of people that take there medication how you are suppost to take it and would not have any quality of life without it......
We lost our son 6 weeks ago. I can relate to her story about the medical I.D. card. Getting approved for dual diagnosis and separate drug treatment over the years was like trudging through one mile of red tape with broken glass glued to it. We had good insurance with a major carrier. One of his doctors told us he needed 6-8 months of intensive dual diagnosis treatment. They would approve 7, 14, or 28 days at a time - Not enough! He finally lost his battle with mental illness on May 9th of this year. When people would say there's nothing like the loss of a child, you think wow, must be unbearable. Well, unbearable is a huge understatement. I pray for peace and freedom from anxiety momma. For those dealing with this unending battle of mental health and addiction, PLEASE do whatever it takes to get your loved ones the proper treatment. I would NOT EVER want anyone to experience this kind of pain. It's truly unbearable 😢
Sorry for your loss😢
@@MairelysPalacios thank you 💓
So sorry 😢
Im sorry for your loss. RIP Ryan and Matt 💔
I am sooo sorry for your loss. May Ryan and Matt Rest in Peace. I am so moved that you are speaking out about this. You are extremely courageous and brave
So sorry for the loss of your sons.😢.
This episode was especially hard for me to watch. I have twin boys who are 17 now. We sent one of them to Florida last summer for 90 days of inpatient treatment. He's doing better now (as far as I know), but the worrying never stops. His brother does not use drugs at all. They're together right now in Myrtle Beach visiting some relatives and going out...and t's terrifying.
How heart-wrenching. As we parents we do our best to provide for our children and bad decisions lead to lifelong consequences. As a parent, we should not be so naive about drugs. It's been plastered in the media for the last 50+ years.
I was addicted to Xanax for 12 years and I became so pathetic, my life was all about the drug, it was in my mind every waking moment. I feel deeply for this lovely woman to go through this twice but she did everything she could. Mental illness is becoming more prominent and we do not have the resources to deal with it. I feel she must have some relief that this is over, I'm sorry she lost her twins but maybe now she can exhale. She couldn't have done anything more to help her sons, it was all out of her control. Sending my love and prayers. God Bless you. xoxo
I’m so sorry that you had to learn about addiction in this way. I hope you never feel like you didn’t do the right things. Life with mental heath issues of this magnitude can leave people feeling like they don’t have a choice. I think after he lost his brother he just couldn’t cope anymore. I hope your sons are finally at peace and that you can find purpose through your work helping others. You did everything right.
I pray for utmost physical, emotional and mental peace for this mama and all the countless others affected by this hellacious demon🙏🏻
My daughter's co-worker ( cop) just lost 2nd child to Fentynal OD. Had
to resign for surviving child.
Oh Mama God Bless you ❤️💕. I understand both Matt and Ryan …. I was them both . My mom was you!!!! At the beginning you were so naive …. Now you are a WISE WOMAN. You may not have been able to save your sons lives ( as you explained) You sharing your story kept me clean for the rest of the day. It was heart breaking listening to you share. I pray I never put my Mama through that again. I pray you find comfort in your daughter and grand children.
It is so sad that todays teens cannot deal with growing pains, the way everybody in the past did.
I work I health care and you are absolutely right. They can verify benefits. They should be banned from participation in the state programs.. I’m so sorry..
This poor woman. Heartbreaking. What a tragic story.
Listening to this story breaks my heart. My addiction started after surgeries that were necessary and a year later I was hooked on pain pills, never in a million years would I think that I would be hooked on anything. Thank the Lord I’ve been clean for 10 plus years. I’ll keep this family and many others in my prayers.
Denise, my heart literally hurts for you. I have lost so many family members to suicide. Adding drug addiction to the mix is devastating. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope it helps you to keep moving forward as much as it helps bring awareness to other families regarding mental health and addiction. I hope your husband has fully recovered from his stroke.
Oh Momma. Your story broke my heart. I’ve watched a lot of these documentaries, but yours really got to me. Thank you for sharing and helping others. 🙏❤️
All these stories are painful but hell… this one… just destroyed me. I’m a twin and I could never ever imagine how hurt this mother is. It’s heartbreaking 💔
I just want to hug the sister. She’s lost both siblings and her children have lost both uncles. It’s not fair.
Absolutely heartbreaking for the boys and the entire family. Damnit that stuff is poison. How in the world would you ever be able to get over the loss of two sons?
Thank you for bringing Maryland stories to this platform. My family and home church are here. We are praying for these families.

I want to say I am so sorry for your loss. Their story is so real and understandable. I’m having a talk with my son right now. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family. 😢
So sorry for the loss. The heartbreak shows on your face and the love you have for your sons.
My God, this was a tough one to watch...they all are but this mom broke my heart. How do you go on from there? Such incredible strength and faith ❤
Ugh, the lady who wouldn’t take Ryan bc he didn’t have a damn insurance card! She would’ve gotten paid regardless! That situation is beyond sickening! But, that’s how rehabs are. You’d think they’d want to help bc they DO get paid, but, some just see us as addicts who are a revolving door. I’m so sorry Ryan couldn’t get the help he needed. Matt’s story is deeply as heartbreaking. How he felt blaming himself for Ryan, I can’t imagine 😢
I thank you for sharing your son’s stories. Sending tons of prayers 🙏🏽, healing ❤️🩹 and hugs 🤗.
As the mother of twins I simply cannot imagine losing both of them. The pain has to be just unfathomable. I heart truly goes out to their mother.
“I couldn’t save mine but hopefully I can save yours” 😭
I've seen all of these videos and all of them are heartbreaking but this one is just depressing 😢😢😢😢 to lose both of your kids. Mom did the best she could
Mental health and addiction is real REAL . Our country needs to step up and do better for these issues !!
I agree but it seems the medical system are not equipped or don’t want to deal with this pandemic addiction going on nationwide.
This one broke my heart. Probably the saddest one so far.
I have rewatched this episode three times while crying and trying to figure out if there's a way things could have been done differently and I accept it now. My heart goes out to you dear mother, I hope you find peace and that you didn't fail. Sending love and hugs and you in my prayers ❤🙏🙏🙏 RIP twin🕊️🕊️
Matt and Ryan, and their entire family, went through hell together. It doesn't seem fair that they're no longer in misery and the rest of the family is left behind to try to pick up the pieces. I hope they have found some peace and healing.
Good God this poor lady. May God heal her heart. This episode was just awful. All of them are tragic, but two kids at one time.
3 years apart
Mama, you are going to save so many people with your voice. You are so strong. I hope you are taking care of yourself. This world needs you. Thank you for sharing the story of Matt and Ryan. They are at peace in heaven. I am so sorry you and your family have so much pain. You will make a difference. 💗
Brothers in arms! Why do I feel like this one will get me in tears? 😭 RIP Ryan and Matt ❤
They never fail to make me cry it seems.
Denise, my heart goes out to you. It’s a scary world out there and how do we prepare our kids for it? Thank you so much for sharing your story. ❤
These stories are brutal. 💔
What a heart wrenching story, thank you for sharing this Denise. You have tremendous strength, thank you for your advocacy. Your work will save others from needless suffering.
Our healthcare system is so broken. That whole mess about having the insurance card was just awful!
My son struggling with mental illness, im raising his 3 yr old daughter. One thing i know is you can teach yr child how to go in life but the choices they make are their own and no matter what you do or how hard you pray, its ultimately up to them. And that is what my son has trouble with, coping skills, but mental illnes runs in his family his grandmother uncle aunt n great grandmother all have mental illness and then when they add drugs n alcohol on top of that, its horrible. I pray and have faith, because at this time its all i have.
God bless you and help heal all your people!
I’m so incredibly sorry to this loving mother. This one was a punch in the gut. To lose two children is awful. May God bless and comfort you.
I'm very sorry for the loss of your sons. I hope you and your family get past the guilt you are feeling, it wasn't your fault. ❤
So very sorry about the pain and suffering of your 2 sons when it came to drugs causing them to lose their life, and your pain and suffering while you tried to help them and also after they have passed. 💖
I am so sorry Mama! My heart breaks for you! My son is a recovering prescription pill addict and I understand your story and feel your pain, deeply. You are so strong to share your story in hopes of saving others lives!
RIP Brothers 🙏🙏🙏
Prayers for all who love you 🙏
Thank you Mum for your honesty in your sharing !
You did all you could 🙏
So painful to watch ❤ Mum, you have my great respect for sharing your story.
Mothers are our heroes, sometimes carrying such enormous burdens.…
This mother has been through so much..I pray you find healing to your soul..and that
your much loved sons are at peace together….🕊.
You did all you could, mom. I hope you believe that. Thank you for sharing your story.
Mama, I am so sorry. You have endured more suffering than anyone should have to. My heart is broken for you. Love and hugs to you. ❤❤
This one brought me to tears.
It’s so hard being a parent. It’s so hard on your heart & soul.
This is the most heartbreaking story I’ve ever read. You have had such a hard life with all this mom, and I admire and respect your honesty in telling your story just like it truly was. Thank you for helping others through your immeasurable pain. It’s so true that education needs to start in middle school-not later. You are the embodiment of what a totally loving mother is and I admire and respect you so much. God bless you. I know you will see your sons again someday in the afterlife. 🤍✨🌟💫🤍🤍🤍
Her testimony is truly heart-wrenching. I am so sorry this had to happen to her, and her boys.
I work in healthcare too and shes absolutely right once approved card or not the facility would be paid retroactively the fact that they did that is disgusting. Im almost sure they are state funded as it is and dint make it off self pay so to withhold care that way seemed criminal it made a life and dearth difference in this case.
"I couldn't save mine, but hopefully I can save yours".
My heart is broken just hearing this. How does a mom go through it?!
There's also a government site that the rehab could've checked eligibility WITHOUT the card. Shame on them.
THIS POOR LADY REALLY HAD HER HANDS FULL...TIMES 2...I FEEL REALLY BAD FOR HER...
This mama just breaks my heart. I have 2 boys (31 &33) so close in age and best friends. I just cannot fathom what she feels everyday. My heart aches for her. I wish I could give her a hug.
I’m the mother of twins, and I can’t begin to imagine what you’ve been through. I’m so very sorry.
I been watching this docuseries for a while now and let me tell this one 😢 made me cry I feel for this lady may God have them in his glory
So happy at the end when you said you work in prevention now. Good for you, and thank you for your dedication. Sorry for your loss.
Her pain is excruciating. I'm so sorry, mama. You went above and beyond.
Oh mama, this is the most heartbreaking video I’ve seen. I can’t imagine the pain you feel. God bless you💔
Mom….if you see this I just want you to know that your story deeply touched my heart. I don’t think I’ve cried this much watching any other story. Praying God’s grace over your life as you keep your sons memory alive while trying to help and save others. God bless you 🙏🏾
Such a heartbreaking story. Sending lots of love to this mom. She deserves a big hug. ❤
Sending warm hugs to this loving mama and the family. 💔🫂
