    My name is Ariel Paez. Jake was my older brother, and this is our grandmother being interviewed. The deaths of both Jake and our mother has been very difficult for our family. I appreciate all of the support in the comments ❤

    Im so sorry for your loss. I lost my youngest nephew in October 2017 to fentenyl and carfentenyl. He was 26. Out of all these heartbreaking stories, my heart is ripped apart for you. I feel the ache in your voice. I see it in your face. You are in my prayers. I wish you peace and love.

Why isn’t this being taught and educating our youth about the dangers of drugs and taking something from someone. My thoughts and prayers to her and too all of the family for the pain they are going through. Sending my love and prayers ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

      Julian, life is very imperfect, but being on drugs is hell. Learn to be bored. Learn to appreciate just time passing by and be happy of breathing clean air. Drinking water when you are thirsty. This society pushes us to max out on everything and that is no way to live.

    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.

      These drugs are too good. These drugs make people feel so good that it is just too difficult to go back to feeling any other way. No one must ever take even just one pill. It is very tempting to do them if you feel bad.

    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.

    We have to always remember that our loved ones who have passed will wish that we would do good for ourselves and for them, so they can be proud of us if they were to look back and see us somehow. We owe it to those we loved that have passed to not let their passing push us to drugs and the likes. It is difficult but it can be done. Millions are doing it.

    Mrs. Paez’s heartache is palpable. My heart really goes out to her and the rest of this family. Let us all understand that Jake was also hurting, so he self medicated. How incredibly selfless to educate others, especially strangers on the street, about the dangers of drugs and fentanyl. I will pray for peace for her and the family. And I’ll continue to pray for our youth who seem to be so susceptible to the scourge of drugs. There is no longer any room for error with recreational drugs. We’ve all got to educate children about this.

    WOW, I've been watching many of these stories but this one has had so much impact, it's like she is expressing all the feelings that all those other families are feeling. So raw, genuine and pure, all of it and so sad.

    Man, my heart hurts so bad for this grandmother and her family. 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 have seen people that I’ve known 0D and it’s sad so again my heart goes out to all these parents, grandparents aunts, uncles siblings, friends, who lose people to fentanyl

    I am so sorry to hear about your incredible losses. To lose your daughter, then your grandson at such young ages is heartbreaking.Jake felt his calling by helping those on streets when he was alive and your calling now to help you with your grief now that he has passed is telling his story and warning others. Who knows how many people you will save. I wish for you and your family peace, strength and comfort. 🙏

    I can see how much guilt this grandma is carrying, almost like she blamed herself for not preventing his death or like he failed her daughter.
    Let me tell you nothing that you could have done would have changed his addiction. Addiction is personal and you loved him and you did everything you could do. Don’t blame yourself. Life is hard and the stress of every day is sometimes to much to handle.
    Your grandson is beautiful and his addiction doesn’t define him I can assure you he had sooo much potential sooo much.

    Her actions were disturbing-she didn’t call 911 or start CPR, instead shutting down from trauma. It’s encouraging, though, that she’s now using her voice and story to raise awareness and potentially save lives. I hope she continues to heal and find strength in her journey.
