      Who was it tragic for? Certainly not for that baby. Why on earth would you see this situation as a tragedy is beyond my understanding.
      That child’s mother didn’t care for him at all. He was born an addict to two addicts what life do you presume that child would have? How was it cut short? The creator loved that child more than the two deprived individuals. So He took him back to him. How that is a tragedy is mind blowing.
      I wish God did that more often because most people should not have such precious lives to be responsible for.

    Heartbreaking! We lost my husbands only child September 4, 2022. She was like one of my own. She took something that was laced with fentany! & what makes this that much harder is my husbands nephew same age as his daughter is the one who gave her the substance she took. Having no idea it was laced w/ fentanyl! They were close like brother & sister & no family should ever have to feel so divided over losing a family memeber. Everyone in this family seems to be ashamed of the cause of death. Like they want to protect her reputation so no one is talking about it. I desperately want to spread awareness. Not allow her death to be in vain. I want her death to have purpose & be meaningful. So that maybe by telling her story it could save atleast one person her death will not have been for nothing.
    Payton Alyssa James baby girl we love you so much & miss u so bad. Keep watching over your daddy. He's so lost without u!He's not the same man he use to be. So come visit him in his dreams. ❤ love you baby girl

      You & your husband have suffered the most devastating losses of all… your only child❣️ I’m sure your husband’s nephew was wracked with both guilt & great sorrow, although he had no ill intent, the guilt must have been immense. I’m sorry the family was divided, that only added to the sad & difficult time you were already dealing with. There is no shame in this situation…your daughter had no clue that fentanyl was in that pill she took. The nephew certainly meant no harm whatsoever & I hope he’s found peace & has forgiven himself. Losing a child is the most devastating & difficult road any parents can ever travel . I lost my only child to pancreatic cancer & I wouldn’t ever wish this pain on anyone. I’m glad you’re talking about you & your husband’s terrible loss cuz it’s important to honour

    I’m so sorry for the loss of your son. My father was an addict my whole life, he got my mother to use and my father would send my little brother to get their drug of choice and then my brother started using. I’m the only person in my family who never used , I don’t even drink. Drugs destroy family’s for generations and we need rehabs instead of prisons for addicts . We are losing so many children, fathers, mothers sisters and brothers and generations are being wiped out. Thank you for sharing your story I will keep your family in my prayers. God has a plan for all of us and there is something that we can take with us when we die, our experiences on this planet and how we touch others lives and the love for our family members. I absolutely believe that we take that love with us and love never dies.

I am sure she has placed enough blame on herself for years and doesn’t need a stranger on the internet to do it for her. The truth is, Nick made his own decisions! He knew exactly what it was like to grow up with a parent addicted to drugs and he also knew that recovery was possible. We all have the choice to let something affect us negatively or positively. He saw his mom get clean and stay clean. I hope you aren’t going around pointing fingers on all of these videos.

      I completely agree. My goodness this child has been through hell. Sounds like he is surrounded by addicts and/or former addicts. I hope he , and his siblings,can live a clean healthy life because considering what they’ve already been through and the family having a strong history of addiction they have some odds against them.
      Regarding his father, I was shocked to hear he was on crack before he was 17 and had two kids to boot. Just so sad. SMH. I’m sure his mom being an addict didn’t help but I do wonder if he may have had a mental disorder like bipolar or ADHD which caused him to self medicate. To only be 32 when he died, he’d lived a very hard life. Again, I hope little Nick and his siblings are able to grow in to healthy adults and live drug free lives. It’s just so sad what’s happened to them.

      There are a lot of mental healthcare facilities in every State in the USA and most provide excellent services. However, it is often very difficult to get people who have addictions to access those services and even when they do, often they continue to use drugs. They just add the prescribed psychiatric drugs to the mix that they are taking.
      A lot of people enter rehab facilities because they recognise that their bodies are breaking down from the drug use and the lifestyle they are living. They get better, start feeling healthy and good, leave the rehab facility and the first place they go, is to their plug.
      It’s disheartening for the people who work in the healthcare field and it’s very upsetting because all the treatment costs a lot of money and depletes the resources for other people who need mental healthcare.

    I feel really sad for his mom, the pain she shares is palpable. As a country, we have to do a better job of saving the youth (and that may include saving the parents, grandparents, etc). The generational aspect of addiction/poor decision- making can't be ignored. These kids need assistance that they have not received. Now, his children will grow up with this trauma in their lives - And I pray will stay away from these substances to cope.

    Dear Mother,

    This is one of my favorite channels to watch on any platform. The courage, strength, and dignity of the mother's fathers, siblings, friends, and grandparents that are left behind inspire me. This was a particularly tough week. These testimonies give me hope and strength. My faith is encouraged. God bless the victims and God bless those left behind. Your loved ones DID NOT die in vain. On the contrary, they are likely saving hundreds and thousands of lives with the sharing of these testimonials. Parents and friends are looking more closely, those who have been lucky so far buying drugs from acquaintances and "Frens/frenemies" are thinking twice. This channel is a wonderful community service. The Lord in His mercy will comfort all parties with this scripture: "To be absent from the body is to present with the LORD."
    Thank you to everyone. God bless you all. ❤🙏

    Dear Kendra ~ 🌷 CONGRATULATIONS on your successes in quitting 3 substances!! You have done Amazing & I’m so happy for you!! Yes, you may have failed a few times… however, you never gave up trying to quit & that’s very admirable indeed. You Never Gave Up On Yourself Kendra because you wanted to be clean & sober more than anything else in the world & here you are “CLEAN & SOBER” for the last 15 Months. I hope you’re PROUD of this immense accomplishment, because it is a HUGE VICTORY. I was addicted to Alcohol & it took me 2 years of trying to finally STAY SOBER. I wanted my life back & with dedication, many, many meetings & 42 days at a Rehab facility, I finally got sober & have stayed sober…20 years now. Keep up the phenomenal work Kendra. God Bless You & I Wish You A Happy & Healthy 2024. 🎵🎶. 🇨🇦

    I believe that with all my heart. When I was 15
    I witnessed my aunt take her last breath. My aunt Joan had breast cancer and we were all gathered around her and when she passed there was this white mist that came up from her shoulders traveled down her body and from her feet the mist rose up to the ceiling and dissapeared. Everyone in that room also witnessed it. So believe me when I tell you that your awesome son will always be with you! 😇

These teens are BOLD! They don’t even try to hide it, and when confronted claim it helps their “anxiety” that they’ve never even been diagnosed with. It’s really scary and sad. Unfortunately, my 16 year old twins are caught up in this crap. I hate it
