This woman is the truest example of a supportive wife, who honors her husband. At the beginning, she didn’t rush in to speak for him. Her silence spoke volumes, she believed in his strength, and knew that he’d find his voice. God bless you both. May the happy memories of your beautiful daughter carry you through your grief. ❤️🩹
My thoughts exactly. Their story is even more heartbreaking because of losing multiple people in such a short space of time. I pray they get the strength & courage to continue speaking up for their loved ones.
Listen both of you…my stepdaughter was all but cut in half in a car accident…she died…like our daughter “her mission on earth was complete in spite of all of it and she actually made the final decision with the lungs…we were also in disbelief…with Kaylee you were both valiant…be at peace…fighting it is ultimately fighting God and what He and Kaylee’s pathway ended up being…

@@broeheemed32what? You must've been high when you typed this. It doesn't matter if she has a mother/mammy. Her Father is Married and she been in her life all of her life. From the sound of it the "step mom" seems more then a MOTHER then her bio Mom.
The only thing she saw was her niece was hurting and she wanted to help her the only way she knew how. She loved her. She was just broken and didn't get the right kind of help either. They were both let down. The sister paid with her life.
Sir, I applaud you for grieving out loud. Your pain is powerful to not only just you. Use it for good. and to support that strong woman beside you. Your pain is felt deeply. Hoping your peace finds you soon and thank you for grieving out loud.
😢😢Facts, Nicole. I believe grief is one of the most powerful yet deeply individual and personal of all of the journeys we take while here on earth. I've said this before... MANY MANY times before.. But I will definitely say it here again: A parent losing a child is so very much against the order of the Universe that there isn't even a word for it... in ANY language; Amber and Max.. What a gorgeous and vibrant daughter you had and now that I know her name and her story, I will say Kaylee Burger and remember her journey with that AWESOME CRAFT SESH she had where she put her upside down fingers with PERMANENT ink everywhere..including foreheads and cap bills (She's always right above your brain and your hat, Max... never, EVER to leave! She will always look over you both until your spirits are together once again never to part. Please accept my deepest condolences.
I’m bawling my eyes out watching this and I feel both of your pain and anger. We lost our first born, our son, to fentanyl in July 2023. He is forever 23, and we are forever broken. My condolences to you both. Your aunt was right…this is the saddest club to be in.
I try to only take over if he is in too much pain we miss her dearly she was my first baby girl before he gave me girls I don’t think we will ever get over this loss ty for your kind words
I never comment on TH-cam, ever. The way I bawled watching this. Not only for you but for myself and the terrifying reality this could happen to my baby, anyone’s baby. All we can do is our best, and may you both find peace and comfort in knowing sharing your story truly helps spread awareness to complete strangers.
I lost my 23 year son to suicide! He suffered from depression anxiety bipolar 1 he had a rare bone disease called crmo! He also was drinking doing drugs! I tried so hard to save my baby! The pain is unreal!
I am so sorry for your loss. 😢 This Is Absolutely Heartbreaking..As a Recovering Addict Myself I'm Absolutely Petrified of Fentanyl .God I Wish There Was NO Such Thing! 😢 Prayers to you & your family! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm so sorry for your losses. I lost my 20 yr old daughter in 2011 to a heroin overdose. She was actually put in the ICU on life support as well. They told me she was brain dead. No activity whatsoever. She went through two sets of tests by two different Dr's, which is protocol. We ended up taking her off life support the next night. She passed 10 minutes later. Addiction is an ugly disease. It is very tricky as well. God help us all get through our losses. Layla Kate 9/12/91-10/16/11.
My heart goes out to you…., similar story for me aswell but not my daughter. My brother, my other brother , my father then my husband ( daughter’s father) worst pain I’ve ever felt.. will it ever stop.
My cousin was happy. She found a source for Xanax and she was so happy. She was okay for 6 months, but then she got something laced with fentanyl. She died January 4,2022. I will miss her laughing fun for the rest of my life. 😢😢
My heart bleeds for yall. This one hit me hard. My 23 year old grandson died from fentanyl poisoning. My 24 year old gra,ndaughterhas been in and out of rehab and overdosed last week. Your story hits home. Thank u for sharing.
As the mother of an organ donor recipient, thank you so much for giving that gift in yourntime of terible grief. She would be so proud of you both, and she saves others, as you are doing now by sharing her story ❤️
I am so so incredibly sorry for your loss. I am a recovering IV drug addict. I would put anything I could get my hands on in my body. I am 9 years sober. My husband is also 9 years sober. This could’ve easily been one of us. My brother is in active addiction and this is my worst nightmare. I know this disease from both sides of the coin. Living in active addiction and loving someone in active addiction. I am so lucky that I got out literally as this fentanyl epidemic started. It was all over the papers and the news. I will be thinking of Kaylee and your family for days to come now. These stories touch my heart in a way no one else can understand. I pray you find peace. I know as an addict, she loved you more than you will ever know and please know she hated the hold these drugs had on her…. Drugs take ahold of your heart and brain and I will never be able to explain it. Nothing else matters, only that drug.

Congratulations it's not easy one day at a time. My husband and I also have 9 yrs clean off Iv drug use. Best choice we ever made. Breaks my heart for the ones who don't male it out
So few of us couples survive active addiction and come out the other side and have longevity. I love when I see people here commenting their experiences where the partner and them used together, quit together, stayed together and stayed sober together. ❤
Now you can’t absolutely trust street weed. My son’s best friend got weed off the street and it had fentanyl on it and he overdosed from weed. Get your weed from a dispensary only period.
Well you have to first live in one of the few states where medical marijuana and its dispensaries are legal and secondly, you need a prescription. That rules out 99.999% of the population.
@@ilovegoodsax I do live in a medical and recreational state. People come here and take it home or order it via mail. Delta 9 is legal pretty much everywhere and very easy to order online and shipped.
I’m 20 days clean off opiates morphine after 12 years of abusing them and my life has changed immensely! I wake up smiling now and my depression is fully gone ! Sublocade saved my life and it can save millions others if people just asked for help like me ! I’m so lucky I’m the 1%that actually gets helps it’s the hardest thing on earth to do so I see why no one can and I feel like I’m superwoman now I can’t believe I won over this terrible disease and sorry your daughter didn’t ask for help ! All the best ! ❤❤

Actually, she had a bed in rehab the next day you have to be an active addiction to get into the detox rehab’s. We were very proud of her for standing up to get help and we still alongside trying to get her help all the way super glad you turn your life around. Have a blessed day.
@MsKatieLane95Just because ur clean 20 days of ur life, doesn’t mean, u won’t relapse. I’ve seen people that has been clean 6 months to a yr, 2-3 yrs, then they overdose & die. But 20 days clean, doesn’t mean, uve made it out because u have yrs ahead of u to stay clean! Good luck

Bless this family who lost their child. This Dad is broken and angry. I pray he finds peace and will not cast responsibility on peers and medical professionals. That stage of healing grief is farther in the future.
I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Thank you for having the courage to show the world the avalanche of pain this poison leaves behind in the loved ones of the deceased. I'm praying for your healing and also for this drug to get off the streets.
When you said August 17th my heart skipped a beat. I almost lost my battle to the same poison on that day, 2023. After more than a decade long addiction, I've been clean for 8 months. Its not the first clean stint ive had, but its the first time i truly want to stay clean. My heart goes out to your family. I watch these stories to keep me humble, to remind me of what i almost did to my family and loved ones. Thank you for being a voice of awareness. I will pray for your family, for your beautiful daughter, all of the other lost souls, and those still stuck in this awful addiction. I will never forget your daughter. I pray this epidemic is brought to an end. 🙏❤
You got this 💪❤️💪 I promise 🙏 I have 11 years and never thought that would ever be possible.. but I found the want and need to be clean for my babies and I have had zero relapses. I believe in you!! 💯💪❤️💪
Man these never get easier to watch 💔. Anyone struggling I’m here, we’re here. I found sobriety when everyone and the world thought I was behind reprieve. You can too. Just know that. As long as you still draw breath and have a pulse, there’s hope. The only reason I’m alive and these kids are dead is because my addiction happened before theirs. It was heroin, oxy, opanas. Horrible in their own right. But fentanyl is so much more deadly. You won’t live long. There’s a reason you see old tweakers, but have you ever seen an old fentanyl/opiate addicts? No they don’t exist. That’s because they are ALL DEAD.

Thank you. Yes there is recovery. My son is living proof of it but as a mother I still fear a relapse. It’s always going to be a fear of mine. Keep telling your story because you are the hope for others who are struggling. My son overdosed on Fentanyl and as I breathed life into him (CPR) through the grace of God he survived. Today he volunteers his time to others and being of service to God and others is part of recovery. Parents, you’ve got to educate your children about fentanyl! It is a death sentence. I won’t even take a Tylenol from a friend. None of these victims of Fentanyl died in vein. We need stricter laws to hold anyone who gives any drug to another person accountable! I call it the 11th commandment. Thou shall not take a pill from anyone! I used to literally chase dealers down the street when they would stop by my house to see my son. I’d grab their plate numbers yet the police would turn a blind eye. Addiction destroys families and will kill your loved ones. Reach out for help. Petition the court if needed to stipulate your loved one into rehab. Fall down 8, get up 9 but don’t give up! God bless these families. For today I am the lucky mom but I feel like I’m in line to get that dreaded phone call. Go to your state house and shout your child’s name and demand change! We did more for 911 that murdered 3k people yet 100s and thousands of people are murdered by fentanyl and our government has done nothing. Keep fighting! 💝🌷
I couldn’t have said it better myself. I found recovery May 18, 2016. Everyone thought there’s not a chance in hell she’ll get clean and stay clean. Well I’m here to say I did it. It was divine intervention that saved me. My mom also played a huge part in my recovery. She works for a detention center in my area and she’s head of work release and drug court so when I was ready and willing she was there picking me up off the floor and getting me to a rehab asap. She also is a no bullshit type of woman. There was never any enabling or any of that. I either got clean or stayed far away from her and my family. It saved my life. If anyone is struggling get help. It’s not always easy but it’s always worth it. I promise. What the first comment said about why you never see old timers in the meetings who were fentanyl addicts is so true. They don’t exist. You will die. That’s the only end game if you continue to use fentanyl. Even since I got clean in 2016 things are so different. I was a IV heroin or really anything user and you couldn’t just go buy fentanyl like they do now. You might get some here and there but it’s out of control now. Jellyroll recently spoke to congress about the fentanyl crisis and he said it perfect. Fentanyl makes the Sackler Family (the ones who created OxyContin) look like a bunch of saints.
I've watched them all and they're all sad and heartbreaking. I've gone from sad to mad, because most of these deaths are preventable, but I'll keep politics out of it.
❤❤❤❤❤ so happy you found sobriety! You are absolutely correct. All my family that were addicted to opiates are dead. All of them. Some young some in their 30s. So scary & I try to educate my kids that you cannot experiment or anything. When we were kids we took things all the time that were given to us. I'm thankful to be alive because if fentanyl was a thing back then I would not be alive.
I am so sorry for your pain and loss. As an organ recipient (kidney) I want you to know that, because of your thoughtfulness your beautiful daughter lives on.
Thanks to the family for sharing their difficult stories. My nephew is in a Rehabilitation Center as I write this, from whatever drug he is having trouble staying away from. It's dangerous, whether it's meth or fentanyl and though he has been to rehab before, maybe this time will be his last time quitting. It's difficult to know how to support a family member who's addicted. - You want to help them, but the usual way, lending or giving them money could be detrimental, so you can't reliably help them that way.

I can’t watch this it hits differently! My boy died at the fentanyl overdose or poisoning when everyone call it because he did not know he was taking fentanyl. Was 26 years old and absolutely killed my entire family.
Ugh this poor father 💔 if it’s this hard to watch him grieve I can’t imagine how hard it is to be going through. I wish he had a donation platform set up- this man deserves a vacation
It breaks my heart to see my family with so much grief and heartache. I remember when they called to tell me that Kaylee and her brother and sister got saved and baptized. We'll see you in heaven baby girl and you're our #HEROKaylee for your gift of organ donation. We're so sorry kidd-0, for everything that happened but your mom and dad are going to fight against this horrible thing so that hopefully it doesn't happen to anybody else. Hugs and love cousins! Thank you Glen & Sheri!
Lord Jesus have mercy on us all. This world is a mess we need you our Lord and Savior. Comfort all these families Lord. They are broken and hurting. We await your arrival Lord Jesus when all this hurt and pain will be no more. In my prayers 🙏🏼✝️♥️
For me, my addiction was very internal. It's how you I felt about myself. I am an ex-addict. I guess I'm still an addict cuz are you ever cured? After 14 years of therapy and sobriety, I now understand that it was only ever about me. My codependency. My low self esteem. My need to want to be loved and feel worthy. I turned to substance and people on the outside to make me feel good bc I wasn't able to see my worth. I wasn't able to see what my contribution was. It was situational in a certain sense. Where I was in that moment and who I was around, but in the end, it was how I saw myself. It took a long time to figure that out. I'm grateful I had the family support to help me beat it. I'm also grateful I did it for myself in the end. I watch these videos and it hurts my heart knowing these beautiful kids never found peace. And their families deal with this regret and guilt for something they had no control over. Bless you. They say time heals all wounds, but it doesn't ever heal the heartbreak you feel when you lose a child so senselessly. I hope these stories can open the eyes of others who are in this situation and can help guide them to help their family members who need the therapy and guidance to find themselves again.
I am so sorry for your loss. Y’all are Amazing parents and Kaylee knows she was loved. Thanks for sharing your story. I 25 years old and have been clean off of painkillers and meth for 5 years. I’m thankful that I stopped because this could have easily been me overdosing. May she rest in peace
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your love for Kaylee is clearly evident. You've been through a horrific experience compounded by family members who obviously did not love Kaylee. You both will be in my prayers.
I wasn't aware that Kaylee Burger was a Little? I know of at least three Little family members who have been poisoned by fentanyl. Where was Kaylee from?
Wow I’m deeply moved by this couple’s story and how they have lost so many members of their family and yet they are out there telling their story and making a difference. My condolences go out to them and their family. RIP beautiful young people…makes me cry…🤍🕊😞
Kaylees story is so heartbreaking, I am in tears. Kaylee's step-mom was her real Mom, her love for Kaylee is so strong and touching❤ I feel so sad for her Parents who love their Children so much. I wish them healing and peace 🌹🙏🌹
I cried the whole time watching this, I have battled with drugs my whole life and have so many over doses, I have lost some many close friends and Loved ones, I have been clean now for almost 4 months, I will always pray for your family, Drug addiction is so hard to overcome and it's always something I think I have always used to cover up my Depression
Thank you for being so so brave coming forward with your story. Im 60 years old and back in th e day we did "stuff" Fortunately we survived. These days nothing is safe!!!!!I'm truly sorry for your families loss...May God bless you and bring you comfort. I hope your story will help other families down he road....Your so brave for speaking out on this subject PRESS ON BABIES!!!
Your story of your family’s losses are soooo heartbreaking.. I’m soooo sorry.. Life can truly be downright cruel.. I’ve lost a son and a husband.. I feel your pain.. My heart goes out to you..
This is a powerful story... I can't imagine being at the point where overdoses are so regular they become "Not a big deal..." or "Not that bad." Sad stuff.... My condolences.
I’m so sorry about your loss. Your daughter sounds amazing! I am so sad we have lost such a beautiful person on earth. I hope you will be reunited, in heaven. 😇 💔
I understand and feel your hurt but please don’t prepare yourself for a lifetime of pain, allow yourself to heal. Time does amazing things, you’ll see ❤
This is such a strong testimony on how a family can bond and break the chains. It’s so sad these young people had to endure the pain of addiction. These parents are such a blessing and full of strength ❤. May God give them peace, strength and love.
First of all could I say how sorry I am for the awful things that have happened to you and your family. 🥺 It’s absolutely devastating! I’m from the UK and this evil drug is slowly making its way here now. What brave people you are for speaking out! And there is no doubt in my mind you’re gonna help others by doing so! God Bless. Lots of love and strength to you both xx
This one is hard to watch. This father can barely get the words out. 🥺 This poison is taking so many lives and destroying so many families. I pray these stories will show how real this is. May God bring peace to your family 🙏 I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet Kaylee, Monica, Kassie and David. R.I.P angels 💗
this is the realest story i’ve watched. the dad is in so much pain from so many different things, not just his daughter dying infront of him but the bio mom not giving af about the situation from the start, them knowing the seller and the cops not doing everything in their power to catch him, the doctors being rude and inconsiderate during this hard time and the “friends” who essentially killed her. personally he did better then i would have. and the step mom is an angel, well spoken, clear emotions, and sharing the good AND difficult memories. they don’t mask what their child participated in they don’t sugar coat the fact they allowed her to smoke weed. they did what they could. they were the best parents they could have been, everyone talks about signs and ways to stop it but kids are going to be kids. i’m 21 i should have died years ago and my parents have done everything they can. not necessarily in the realm of drugs but parents do what they can, their not super hero’s but they try they really do, and the funeral fights i’m so sorry, my family knows who’s allowed and who isn’t due to that exact thing.
so much hurt and grief this youg family is suffering.. I wish them the best and I hope the daughter stays sober , for herself and her family.. RIP Kaylee .
I am sorry for your loss of Kaylee, Sir. Your daughter was a beautiful young woman with so much to look forward to in life. This “Internet stranger” in Chicago hopes you can some day find peace.
God Bless you both, your pain breaks my heart…. My son died in a car accident in 2008, at age 20…. And though it’s not the same I understand your heartbreak and hopelessness… may you find peace in your heart and remember her love and beauty each day😇💕❤️
Bless your hearts! I began to cry right away listening/watching dad choke up. She sounds so so loveable and someone you always needed to have around you for anything. Rip Kaylee.🙏🏼💚
Absolutely heartbreaking. A family decimated by this horrific drug. I’m at a loss for words and cannot comprehend the grief & sorrow you feel. I’m so sorry.
Your videos are shocking & so important to hopefully bring reality to the younger generation who feel immortal and invincible (as i did at that age). Everyone thinks it won't happen to them or to their child. I hope these families can find some peace.
My condolensces for your loss. What a tragedy in so, so many ways. I was a paramedic in KCMO years ago, it used to be called the Meth Amphetamine Capitol of the World. May all of them rest in peace and may God comfort you in ways you cannot fathom.
I'm so sorry for your loss! 💔 Not 1 but 4...any is to many but 4 oh my goodness! I pray God gives you the strength to keep pushing forward and bringing awareness! God Bless You Both. 🙏💖🌹
You guys sound very loving, very involved and pro-active in your care for Kaylee. She sounds like an amazing young woman, that you can be very proud of. Once someone's an adult, there's only so much you can do to help someone, and it sounds as though you guys did it all. I hope you find peace and some relief from the obvious pain of your broken hearts soon. Sending you warm wishes 😊
Being a healthcare worker for many years and some of that in the ICU, my heart broke for everyone that had to go through the tragic loss of a child. It is easy to blame us for not doing what family thinks we can do to make them better but reality is we cannot break down every time as we would mentally not survive! It’s not that we don’t care, we absolutely do! We have a job to do and we are human beings with feelings and love in our hearts. We have to be there for every patient! This is one of thousands of these cases that have become an epidemic! Again, my heart breaks for this family 💔. I see no end in sight 😢
Thank you! Your story moved me to tears. My goodness! Such strength you have! Hey, I’m disabled & don’t work right now so I have tons of time!! If I can help YOU in any way, I’d be so honored. Thank you, Michelle in Boston, MA
My sweet holy precious father GOD!!! This one….. out of all of these docs that I have seen, never have I had to stop and come back… until the beginning of this one when that brave, strong dad said he couldn’t do it. Sir, bless you and your amazing wife. Thank you for being the parents that you are, and thank you for sharing. Thank you Texas pictures, your helping educate, and save lives. A hard reminder to me to STAY SOBER. This was devastating and necessary. Thank you everyone. Blessings to all ❤
This one was difficult. Every time I see Texas pictures, I am like, "Man another one?!" but these poisonings are happening everyday. It needs to be constantly in our face because Sackler, Purdue, and the cartels wish we wouldn't talk about it. They want us to keep it under hushed tones. So we have to have the open conversation. In response to Monica's death I worked at a club where the same thing happened. Girl was on the floor appearing to be having an over dose and multiple people told me not to call the ambulance. I called. She was in fact not OD'ing. When she was able to, she ran from the ambulance and I had to explain to the EMT team what happened. Everyone told me I was wrong for calling, but hearing testimonies like Monica's I am glad I tried. No regrets.

I'm so so sorry for both of your loss and I was on her to meet you both on the virtual the other day... Lost my daughter in March of 2020 to a Fentanyl and cocaine overdose at the age of 27 leaving behind four young children who had to be adopted of our family.😢
USA is a wonderful country. I visited once and fell in love with this amazing beautiful country. Drugs has destroyed it. I have attended few drug awareness courses and was really surprised that meth started in one city and like a wildfire it spread to the whole country within a year! This is shocking considering how big USA is...unbelievably sad...
His grief is soooo raw WOW! I feel so bad for him… and her too. She’s a wonderful support system for him as well. I pray they both heal and all of the loved ones too 🙏🏾❤️

Amen sister.
So true❤️🩹
Kaylee's dad is blessed to have this lady beside him. She is solid as a rock.
This “step” mom is an amazing mother-can’t tell she loved this girl like her own. God bless your family
Please correct the can’t…
Listen both of you…my stepdaughter was all but cut in half in a car accident…she died…like our daughter “her mission on earth was complete in spite of all of it and she actually made the final decision with the lungs…we were also in disbelief…with Kaylee you were both valiant…be at peace…fighting it is ultimately fighting God and what He and Kaylee’s pathway ended up being…

Her dad is really hurting and understandably angry. His sister that got her addicted is complete 🗑️. I pray he can heal from this trauma. Stepmom too.
His sister also Overdosed; she’s deceased also.. sad.. all the way around..
The only thing she saw was her niece was hurting and she wanted to help her the only way she knew how. She loved her. She was just broken and didn't get the right kind of help either. They were both let down. The sister paid with her life.
No sense her aunt knew how bad a life of addiction was but even then he gave her niece drugs!’
@@ChRiStY4t5she was a scum junkie who gave a 13 year old pills because she wanted someone else to be as ruined as her.
I believe the sister was young, close in age with his daughter. Sadly, she too passed away from the disease of addiction.
Sir, I applaud you for grieving out loud. Your pain is powerful to not only just you. Use it for good. and to support that strong woman beside you. Your pain is felt deeply. Hoping your peace finds you soon and thank you for grieving out loud.
💯
Beautifully said ❤️
😢😢Facts, Nicole. I believe grief is one of the most powerful yet deeply individual and personal of all of the journeys we take while here on earth. I've said this before... MANY MANY times before.. But I will definitely say it here again: A parent losing a child is so very much against the order of the Universe that there isn't even a word for it... in ANY language; Amber and Max.. What a gorgeous and vibrant daughter you had and now that I know her name and her story, I will say Kaylee Burger and remember her journey with that AWESOME CRAFT SESH she had where she put her upside down fingers with PERMANENT ink everywhere..including foreheads and cap bills (She's always right above your brain and your hat, Max... never, EVER to leave! She will always look over you both until your spirits are together once again never to part. Please accept my deepest condolences.
This step mom is an absolute angel - im sorry for this whole family , such tragic circumstances .
"An absolute angel"?? For doing what.?
I’m bawling my eyes out watching this and I feel both of your pain and anger. We lost our first born, our son, to fentanyl in July 2023. He is forever 23, and we are forever broken. My condolences to you both. Your aunt was right…this is the saddest club to be in.
My Vanessa 36 murdered by fentanyl. 😢left 3 children. Then everyone just forgets ....
You haven't forgotten. Surely others haven't either.
❤😢
I'm so sorry for theirs and your loss... We lost our 27 year old daughter to fentanyl on March 3rd 2020 just before the lockdown
I'm very sorry to hear about all of your losses. Fentanyl is everywhere. Buying anything off the streets puts you at serious risk.
Her father was playing zero games, he represented to the fullest for his daughter, he is NO joke! I'm proud of him.
we all want a dad like this. My dad is wonderful,the best but I would pray he would defend me in the way this dad and stepmom did.
A whole family with drug addictions, wow. . . What is really going on and what demons are these family members fighting? This dad has seen so much.
She had no chance :-(
Toxic family tragedy 😢
I love how the Wife knows her Husband, he kept trying to bring her in but she knew he had more to say and stayed quiet at first.
Yep, I noticed that also.
I try to only take over if he is in too much pain we miss her dearly she was my first baby girl before he gave me girls I don’t think we will ever get over this loss ty for your kind words
It was like her quiet strength just backing him up like you can do this. 🥹 God this is so awful. Their grief and pain is so palpable
That is LOVE love. I noticed that too. So wise and strong. A grace filled woman. ❤
That's when the husband knows how to LEAD his household.
I pray for your precious family! I ALSO lost my son to fentanyl...He also left 4 children....
I’m sorry for your loss 😢

I never comment on TH-cam, ever. The way I bawled watching this. Not only for you but for myself and the terrifying reality this could happen to my baby, anyone’s baby. All we can do is our best, and may you both find peace and comfort in knowing sharing your story truly helps spread awareness to complete strangers.
Generational trauma is so real. The strength of these ppl is clearly from God.
I lost my 23 year son to suicide! He suffered from depression anxiety bipolar 1 he had a rare bone disease called crmo! He also was drinking doing drugs! I tried so hard to save my baby! The pain is unreal!
Jesus bless you❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. 😢 This Is Absolutely Heartbreaking..As a Recovering Addict Myself I'm Absolutely Petrified of Fentanyl .God I Wish There Was NO Such Thing! 😢
Prayers to you & your family! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm really sorry for your loss! May God be with you and give you the strength you need 🙏🏻 ❤️ 🫂

I'm so sorry for your losses. I lost my 20 yr old daughter in 2011 to a heroin overdose. She was actually put in the ICU on life support as well. They told me she was brain dead. No activity whatsoever. She went through two sets of tests by two different Dr's, which is protocol. We ended up taking her off life support the next night. She passed 10 minutes later. Addiction is an ugly disease. It is very tricky as well. God help us all get through our losses.

My heart goes out to you…., similar story for me aswell but not my daughter. My brother, my other brother , my father then my husband ( daughter’s father) worst pain I’ve ever felt.. will it ever stop.
I am so very sorry for your loss 💔🙏
My cousin was happy. She found a source for Xanax and she was so happy. She was okay for 6 months, but then she got something laced with fentanyl. She died January 4,2022. I will miss her laughing fun for the rest of my life. 😢😢
So sorry for your loss 🙏
My heart bleeds for yall. This one hit me hard. My 23 year old grandson died from fentanyl poisoning. My 24 year old gra,ndaughterhas been in and out of rehab and overdosed last week. Your story hits home. Thank u for sharing.
I have a dear friend in St Louis who lost her only son who smoked weed off the streets that was laced with fentanyl!
So very sorry for your loss xx
So sorry this happened to your grandson in my prayers 🙏🏻
It's 😢so very tragic to hear these stories.😢 MHDSRIP.
Such a beautiful family, burdened with such horrible grief. Such beautiful people lost. Heartbreaking.
"They can be not bad people away from me!" Amen brother!!! Ive had to be that way with a few people in my life!
My son got off of it a year after i tough loved him, its been 8 years and he said it calls me everyday mom.
I pray the Lord Jesus protects him in Jesus of Nazareth’s name.That the desire for anything harmful to him will be gone amen 🙏🏻
Lord have Mercy on This Family! 🙏🙏
Amen 🙏❤
As the mother of an organ donor recipient, thank you so much for giving that gift in yourntime of terible grief. She would be so proud of you both, and she saves others, as you are doing now by sharing her story ❤️
I am so so incredibly sorry for your loss. I am a recovering IV drug addict. I would put anything I could get my hands on in my body. I am 9 years sober. My husband is also 9 years sober. This could’ve easily been one of us. My brother is in active addiction and this is my worst nightmare. I know this disease from both sides of the coin. Living in active addiction and loving someone in active addiction. I am so lucky that I got out literally as this fentanyl epidemic started. It was all over the papers and the news. I will be thinking of Kaylee and your family for days to come now. These stories touch my heart in a way no one else can understand. I pray you find peace. I know as an addict, she loved you more than you will ever know and please know she hated the hold these drugs had on her…. Drugs take ahold of your heart and brain and I will never be able to explain it. Nothing else matters, only that drug.

Congratulations on your sobriety. Please know that you are valuable and this world wants you in it. Sending love and strength
So few of us couples survive active addiction and come out the other side and have longevity. I love when I see people here commenting their experiences where the partner and them used together, quit together, stayed together and stayed sober together. ❤
Dad, please get into counseling . I am absolutely heartbroken for him, and I love his wife. Yall gave her a good life and did right by her!!
He’s in therapy ❤
Now you can’t absolutely trust street weed. My son’s best friend got weed off the street and it had fentanyl on it and he overdosed from weed. Get your weed from a dispensary only period.
Or, even better...don't do WEED either! No drugs. None. Unless your doctor prescribed it for a physical health problem.
😮 so glad I quit
Well you have to first live in one of the few states where medical marijuana and its dispensaries are legal and secondly, you need a prescription. That rules out 99.999% of the population.
@@ilovegoodsax Well, then, that means 99.999% of the population shouldn't be doing weed - or any other street drugs.
@@ilovegoodsax I do live in a medical and recreational state. People come here and take it home or order it via mail. Delta 9 is legal pretty much everywhere and very easy to order online and shipped.
I’m 20 days clean off opiates morphine after 12 years of abusing them and my life has changed immensely! I wake up smiling now and my depression is fully gone ! Sublocade saved my life and it can save millions others if people just asked for help like me ! I’m so lucky I’m the 1%that actually gets helps it’s the hardest thing on earth to do so I see why no one can and I feel like I’m superwoman now I can’t believe I won over this terrible disease and sorry your daughter didn’t ask for help ! All the best ! ❤❤

Actually, she had a bed in rehab the next day you have to be an active addiction to get into the detox rehab’s. We were very proud of her for standing up to get help and we still alongside trying to get her help all the way super glad you turn your life around. Have a blessed day.
I pray for you to stay sober one day at a time! ❤🙏
@MsKatieLane95Just because ur clean 20 days of ur life, doesn’t mean, u won’t relapse. I’ve seen people that has been clean 6 months to a yr, 2-3 yrs, then they overdose & die. But 20 days clean, doesn’t mean, uve made it out because u have yrs ahead of u to stay clean! Good luck
Congratulations! I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. 💕
The most heartbreaking video I seen in this channel. That’s incredible eye opening, drugs are destroying families.
Well we all know one thing for sure. The dad is one tough guy.
Behind EVERY strong man is a STRONG woman.

Our Life Is Like Unto A Race

Bless this family who lost their child. This Dad is broken and angry. I pray he finds peace and will not cast responsibility on peers and medical professionals. That stage of healing grief is farther in the future.
I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Thank you for having the courage to show the world the avalanche of pain this poison leaves behind in the loved ones of the deceased. I'm praying for your healing and also for this drug to get off the streets.
How can a aunt give a young child a dangerous pill like that? I would've called the police on her. One pill eventually led to her death! 😢
So very sorry for your loss.
Kaylee was beautiful, may she rest in peace.
When you said August 17th my heart skipped a beat. I almost lost my battle to the same poison on that day, 2023. After more than a decade long addiction, I've been clean for 8 months. Its not the first clean stint ive had, but its the first time i truly want to stay clean. My heart goes out to your family. I watch these stories to keep me humble, to remind me of what i almost did to my family and loved ones. Thank you for being a voice of awareness. I will pray for your family, for your beautiful daughter, all of the other lost souls, and those still stuck in this awful addiction. I will never forget your daughter. I pray this epidemic is brought to an end. 🙏❤
❤❤praying for you and ty
@@ambersaale253 ❤️🙏
You got this 💪❤️💪 I promise 🙏 I have 11 years and never thought that would ever be possible.. but I found the want and need to be clean for my babies and I have had zero relapses. I believe in you!! 💯💪❤️💪
Man these never get easier to watch 💔. Anyone struggling I’m here, we’re here. I found sobriety when everyone and the world thought I was behind reprieve. You can too. Just know that. As long as you still draw breath and have a pulse, there’s hope.
The only reason I’m alive and these kids are dead is because my addiction happened before theirs. It was heroin, oxy, opanas. Horrible in their own right. But fentanyl is so much more deadly. You won’t live long.
There’s a reason you see old tweakers, but have you ever seen an old fentanyl/opiate addicts? No they don’t exist. That’s because they are ALL DEAD.

Thank you. Yes there is recovery. My son is living proof of it but as a mother I still fear a relapse. It’s always going to be a fear of mine. Keep telling your story because you are the hope for others who are struggling. My son overdosed on Fentanyl and as I breathed life into him (CPR) through the grace of God he survived. Today he volunteers his time to others and being of service to God and others is part of recovery. Parents, you’ve got to educate your children about fentanyl! It is a death sentence. I won’t even take a Tylenol from a friend. None of these victims of Fentanyl died in vein. We need stricter laws to hold anyone who gives any drug to another person accountable! I call it the 11th commandment. Thou shall not take a pill from anyone! I used to literally chase dealers down the street when they would stop by my house to see my son. I’d grab their plate numbers yet the police would turn a blind eye. Addiction destroys families and will kill your loved ones. Reach out for help. Petition the court if needed to stipulate your loved one into rehab. Fall down 8, get up 9 but don’t give up! God bless these families. For today I am the lucky mom but I feel like I’m in line to get that dreaded phone call. Go to your state house and shout your child’s name and demand change! We did more for 911 that murdered 3k people yet 100s and thousands of people are murdered by fentanyl and our government has done nothing. Keep fighting! 💝🌷
I couldn’t have said it better myself. I found recovery May 18, 2016. Everyone thought there’s not a chance in hell she’ll get clean and stay clean. Well I’m here to say I did it. It was divine intervention that saved me. My mom also played a huge part in my recovery. She works for a detention center in my area and she’s head of work release and drug court so when I was ready and willing she was there picking me up off the floor and getting me to a rehab asap. She also is a no bullshit type of woman. There was never any enabling or any of that. I either got clean or stayed far away from her and my family. It saved my life. If anyone is struggling get help. It’s not always easy but it’s always worth it. I promise. What the first comment said about why you never see old timers in the meetings who were fentanyl addicts is so true. They don’t exist. You will die. That’s the only end game if you continue to use fentanyl. Even since I got clean in 2016 things are so different. I was a IV heroin or really anything user and you couldn’t just go buy fentanyl like they do now. You might get some here and there but it’s out of control now. Jellyroll recently spoke to congress about the fentanyl crisis and he said it perfect. Fentanyl makes the Sackler Family (the ones who created OxyContin) look like a bunch of saints.
I've watched them all and they're all sad and heartbreaking. I've gone from sad to mad, because most of these deaths are preventable, but I'll keep politics out of it.
❤❤❤❤❤ so happy you found sobriety! You are absolutely correct. All my family that were addicted to opiates are dead. All of them. Some young some in their 30s. So scary & I try to educate my kids that you cannot experiment or anything. When we were kids we took things all the time that were given to us. I'm thankful to be alive because if fentanyl was a thing back then I would not be alive.
All of them, young and beautiful. So much life ahead of them.
So much sadness in this video. A lot of cycles that are hard to escape. I’m very sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your pain and loss. As an organ recipient (kidney) I want you to know that, because of your thoughtfulness your beautiful daughter lives on.
Thanks to the family for sharing their difficult stories. My nephew is in a Rehabilitation Center as I write this, from whatever drug he is having trouble staying away from. It's dangerous, whether it's meth or fentanyl and though he has been to rehab before, maybe this time will be his last time quitting. It's difficult to know how to support a family member who's addicted. - You want to help them, but the usual way, lending or giving them money could be detrimental, so you can't reliably help them that way.

I can’t watch this it hits differently! My boy died at the fentanyl overdose or poisoning when everyone call it because he did not know he was taking fentanyl. Was 26 years old and absolutely killed my entire family.
I’m sorry for your loss we will be praying for you!
Holy cow this many losses is absolutely heartbreaking 💔
Ugh this poor father 💔 if it’s this hard to watch him grieve I can’t imagine how hard it is to be going through. I wish he had a donation platform set up- this man deserves a vacation
So Sorry! I lost my son to meth and Fentynal too. ❤
So sorry praying 🙏🏻
When the Dad said he'll be waiting when the dealer gets out. I Believe him.
Lots of people say that but I agree with you. He's not kidding.
It breaks my heart to see my family with so much grief and heartache. I remember when they called to tell me that Kaylee and her brother and sister got saved and baptized. We'll see you in heaven baby girl and you're our #HEROKaylee for your gift of organ donation. We're so sorry kidd-0, for everything that happened but your mom and dad are going to fight against this horrible thing so that hopefully it doesn't happen to anybody else. Hugs and love cousins! Thank you Glen & Sheri!

For me, my addiction was very internal. It's how you I felt about myself. I am an ex-addict. I guess I'm still an addict cuz are you ever cured? After 14 years of therapy and sobriety, I now understand that it was only ever about me. My codependency. My low self esteem. My need to want to be loved and feel worthy. I turned to substance and people on the outside to make me feel good bc I wasn't able to see my worth. I wasn't able to see what my contribution was. It was situational in a certain sense. Where I was in that moment and who I was around, but in the end, it was how I saw myself. It took a long time to figure that out. I'm grateful I had the family support to help me beat it. I'm also grateful I did it for myself in the end. I watch these videos and it hurts my heart knowing these beautiful kids never found peace. And their families deal with this regret and guilt for something they had no control over. Bless you. They say time heals all wounds, but it doesn't ever heal the heartbreak you feel when you lose a child so senselessly. I hope these stories can open the eyes of others who are in this situation and can help guide them to help their family members who need the therapy and guidance to find themselves again.
I am so sorry for your loss. Y’all are Amazing parents and Kaylee knows she was loved. Thanks for sharing your story. I 25 years old and have been clean off of painkillers and meth for 5 years. I’m thankful that I stopped because this could have easily been me overdosing. May she rest in peace
Never do drugs…especially from the streets. May god bless this family.
We lost my cousin the same way. I’m sorry for your loss. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your love for Kaylee is clearly evident. You've been through a horrific experience compounded by family members who obviously did not love Kaylee. You both will be in my prayers.
I wasn't aware that Kaylee Burger was a Little? I know of at least three Little family members who have been poisoned by fentanyl. Where was Kaylee from?
Kaylee is from Kansas.
Wow I’m deeply moved by this couple’s story and how they have lost so many members of their family and yet they are out there telling their story and making a difference.
My condolences go out to them and their family.
RIP beautiful young people…makes me cry…🤍🕊😞
Kaylees story is so heartbreaking, I am in tears. Kaylee's step-mom was her real Mom, her love for Kaylee is so strong and touching❤ I feel so sad for her Parents who love their Children so much.
I wish them healing and peace 🌹🙏🌹
I cried the whole time watching this, I have battled with drugs my whole life and have so many over doses, I have lost some many close friends and Loved ones, I have been clean now for almost 4 months, I will always pray for your family, Drug addiction is so hard to overcome and it's always something I think I have always used to cover up my Depression
Praying for your sobriety you matter your family loves and needs u!
Thank you for being so so brave coming forward with your story. Im 60 years old and back in th e day we did "stuff" Fortunately we survived. These days nothing is safe!!!!!I'm truly sorry for your families loss...May God bless you and bring you comfort.

It’s clear how much Kaylee was loved. Thanks for sharing your story ❤
Your story of your family’s losses are soooo heartbreaking.. I’m soooo sorry.. Life can truly be downright cruel.. I’ve lost a son and a husband.. I feel your pain.. My heart goes out to you..
This is a powerful story... I can't imagine being at the point where overdoses are so regular they become "Not a big deal..." or "Not that bad." Sad stuff.... My condolences.
I’m so sorry about your loss. Your daughter sounds amazing! I am so sad we have lost such a beautiful person on earth. I hope you will be reunited, in heaven. 😇 💔
Both of these poor parents. So much pain. I did not know it was about two people. My heart is with them.

Besides the sad story, it’s beautiful to see the loving relationship the parents have.
im almost 2 months clean from fentnyl. thank god for MAT. bless you and your family. im praying for your daughter
60 days. That's incredible ♡
It saved my life, also! So glad you received help. ❤️🩹
I love the way they honored their daughter’s story. Loving and strong parents. I pray healing over them both but especially the father

My brother died from a Fentanyl OD about 1.5 years ago 😞😓 My spirit will be crushed FOREVER!
I understand and feel your hurt but please don’t prepare yourself for a lifetime of pain, allow yourself to heal. Time does amazing things, you’ll see ❤
I am so sorry 😢 I lost two brothers in 6 months also. It’s an unbearable pain. I pray you’re doing ok. 💔❤️
This is such a strong testimony on how a family can bond and break the chains. It’s so sad these young people had to endure the pain of addiction. These parents are such a blessing and full of strength ❤. May God give them peace, strength and love.
First of all could I say how sorry I am for the awful things that have happened to you and your family. 🥺
It’s absolutely devastating!
I’m from the UK and this evil drug is slowly making its way here now.
What brave people you are for speaking out! And there is no doubt in my mind you’re gonna help others by doing so!
God Bless.
Lots of love and strength to you both xx
This one is hard to watch. This father can barely get the words out. 🥺 This poison is taking so many lives and destroying so many families. I pray these stories will show how real this is. May God bring peace to your family 🙏 I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet Kaylee, Monica, Kassie and David. R.I.P angels 💗
What beautiful parents! My condolences to you and your family!
this is the realest story i’ve watched. the dad is in so much pain from so many different things, not just his daughter dying infront of him but the bio mom not giving af about the situation from the start, them knowing the seller and the cops not doing everything in their power to catch him, the doctors being rude and inconsiderate during this hard time and the “friends” who essentially killed her. personally he did better then i would have. and the step mom is an angel, well spoken, clear emotions, and sharing the good AND difficult memories. they don’t mask what their child participated in they don’t sugar coat the fact they allowed her to smoke weed. they did what they could. they were the best parents they could have been, everyone talks about signs and ways to stop it but kids are going to be kids. i’m 21 i should have died years ago and my parents have done everything they can. not necessarily in the realm of drugs but parents do what they can, their not super hero’s but they try they really do, and the funeral fights i’m so sorry, my family knows who’s allowed and who isn’t due to that exact thing.
Fantastic comment God bless you 🙏🏻
so much hurt and grief this youg family is suffering.. I wish them the best and I hope the daughter stays sober , for herself and her family.. RIP Kaylee .
I am sorry for your loss of Kaylee, Sir. Your daughter was a beautiful young woman with so much to look forward to in life. This “Internet stranger” in Chicago hopes you can some day find peace.
From another Internet stranger in England, I also wish you all peace.
God Bless you both, your pain breaks my heart…. My son died in a car accident in 2008, at age 20…. And though it’s not the same I understand your heartbreak and hopelessness… may you find peace in your heart and remember her love and beauty each day😇💕❤️
So much trauma to this beautiful couple. I am so sorry for your loss.
Bless your hearts! I began to cry right away listening/watching dad choke up. She sounds so so loveable and someone you always needed to have around you for anything. Rip Kaylee.🙏🏼💚
Absolutely heartbreaking. A family decimated by this horrific drug. I’m at a loss for words and cannot comprehend the grief & sorrow you feel. I’m so sorry.
Your videos are shocking & so important to hopefully bring reality to the younger generation who feel immortal and invincible (as i did at that age). Everyone thinks it won't happen to them or to their child. I hope these families can find some peace.
My condolensces for your loss. What a tragedy in so, so many ways. I was a paramedic in KCMO years ago, it used to be called the Meth Amphetamine Capitol of the World. May all of them rest in peace and may God comfort you in ways you cannot fathom.
Utterly heartbreaking! God Bless you!🙏❤️
This is outrageous..4 members in the same family.This topic is discussed for a little while in the media then it disappears again.
I'm so sorry for your loss! 💔 Not 1 but 4...any is to many but 4 oh my goodness! I pray God gives you the strength to keep pushing forward and bringing awareness! God Bless You Both. 🙏💖🌹
So much heartbreak and sadness 😢😢
You guys sound very loving, very involved and pro-active in your care for Kaylee. She sounds like an amazing young woman, that you can be very proud of.
Once someone's an adult, there's only so much you can do to help someone, and it sounds as though you guys did it all. I hope you find peace and some relief from the obvious pain of your broken hearts soon. Sending you warm wishes 😊
Sending lots of prayer too the family and friends
Thank you for bravely sharing your family’s tragic experiences with us. It WILL change lives: most importantly, yours. May God bless.
Being a healthcare worker for many years and some of that in the ICU, my heart broke for everyone that had to go through the tragic loss of a child. It is easy to blame us for not doing what family thinks we can do to make them better but reality is we cannot break down every time as we would mentally not survive! It’s not that we don’t care, we absolutely do! We have a job to do and we are human beings with feelings and love in our hearts. We have to be there for every patient! This is one of thousands of these cases that have become an epidemic! Again, my heart breaks for this family 💔. I see no end in sight 😢
RIP Kayley and all! Prayers for all who love you 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! Your story moved me to tears. My goodness! Such strength you have! Hey, I’m disabled & don’t work right now so I have tons of time!! If I can help YOU in any way, I’d be so honored. Thank you, Michelle in Boston, MA
So sorry for your losses. I admire the strength yous show, regardless if it’s just on the outside. Bless you and your families
Oh man… seeing him cry breaks my heart….
My sweet holy precious father GOD!!! This one….. out of all of these docs that I have seen, never have I had to stop and come back… until the beginning of this one when that brave, strong dad said he couldn’t do it. Sir, bless you and your amazing wife. Thank you for being the parents that you are, and thank you for sharing. Thank you Texas pictures, your helping educate, and save lives. A hard reminder to me to STAY SOBER. This was devastating and necessary. Thank you everyone. Blessings to all ❤
One minute in and I’m already in tears.
This dad’s pain…..
This one was difficult. Every time I see Texas pictures, I am like, "Man another one?!" but these poisonings are happening everyday. It needs to be constantly in our face because Sackler, Purdue, and the cartels wish we wouldn't talk about it. They want us to keep it under hushed tones. So we have to have the open conversation. In response to Monica's death I worked at a club where the same thing happened. Girl was on the floor appearing to be having an over dose and multiple people told me not to call the ambulance. I called. She was in fact not OD'ing. When she was able to, she ran from the ambulance and I had to explain to the EMT team what happened. Everyone told me I was wrong for calling, but hearing testimonies like Monica's I am glad I tried. No regrets.
We also have a series of addiction recovery stories that you might find interesting. Here's a link to the playlist: From Addiction to Recovery - th-cam.com/play/PLdCPA32W_p39Z8hi7xSIX3Fkqmhd7mRzj.html
YOU'D THINK OTHERS WOULD HAVE LEARNED BY NOW!!!!!

Our daughter has a story on here as well becca burger she struggles with fentanyl addiction I’ll pray for ur family
@ambersaale253 I watched her story, and she touched my heart! She is so well spoken and wise for her young age
I'm so so sorry for both of your loss and I was on her to meet you both on the virtual the other day... Lost my daughter in March of 2020 to a Fentanyl and cocaine overdose at the age of 27 leaving behind four young children who had to be adopted of our family.😢
USA is a wonderful country. I visited once and fell in love with this amazing beautiful country. Drugs has destroyed it. I have attended few drug awareness courses and was really surprised that meth started in one city and like a wildfire it spread to the whole country within a year! This is shocking considering how big USA is...unbelievably sad...
His grief is soooo raw WOW! I feel so bad for him… and her too. She’s a wonderful support system for him as well. I pray they both heal and all of the loved ones too 🙏🏾❤️
