So the same people that scream abt acceptance are the same exact people who not only couldnt accept who he was but also treated him horribly because of jis views. That part makes me SICK. I can only pray and ask God to open thier eyes becaise the human me wants them to feel the hurt Jeffrey felt!
The lady on the 911 call I cant express what I want to said but Andron SIP people we think are friends are sometimes foes hope your at peace 🕊️ 🙏🏻family try to be strong 🙏🏻
I get that there is a longing to try to legitimize drug addiction as a healthcare issue. But, when you look up the definition of disease and mental illness neither fit. Disease happens on a chromosomal level and a mental illness does not originate from the taking of a substance. Drug addiction is its own unique thing that needs its own label. And, I think that if there is a known family history of addiction, it should be taken seriously. Just as seriously as a person with a peanut allergy takes being around peanuts.
my younger brother & I are the EXACT SAME when it came to getting the digs on each other & that's how we said I LOVE YOU, but we always said the words too
My husband’s cousin died from a fentanyl overdose on Thanksgiving several years ago. Nobody but his wife and mother knew he was even taking anything. They were both addicted as well and probably still are. It was a huge shock. Even worse, everyone found out about his passing when wife posted it on Facebook Thanksgiving evening on their way back from the dealers home. Later, his brother demanded an autopsy. Mom and wife didn’t want the autopsy because they did not want anyone to know about the fentanyl. Not to protect his privacy but to protect their own privacy. Lastly, wife’s mother, father, and he all died within 6 months apart. Apparently it was not suspicious to anyone because there was never any investigation of any kind.
Oh, my heart goes out to you and your family. What heart wrenching ordeals you went through and continue to go through. It's unfortunate that we can't understand what someone is really going through.
Thanks for sharing your story. I remember when you lost your sweet girl. I live in Houston as well and had just lost my son 6 months prior. I remember when Michael turned 25 and I said to myself "I got him to 25 and based on science and the development of the frontal cortex, he will make good decisions now." Michael died 3 weeks before his 26th birthday. His story mirrors that of Kate in some ways and not in others. It's just all so heartbreaking. Sending you love.
We need to get rid of these drugs and these things that are and the government of trying to help take our children away God forbid and they need to come up with programs to keep this out of the system and all of our children this is not what God wants for us and wants for his children
My ex husband took some methadone - he was an alcoholic, not an opiate user. He stopped breathing. My son happened to come home at the same time. He saved his life. My son brought him to the er, he stayed overnight but left against drs advice. He and i had been divorced for years at this point - that means nothing in this story, he wasnt an ex friend - I talked him into going back to the sober house that he had left the day before. The problem was that he couldnt tell them what happened or they would've kicked him out. 3 hours later his roommate told the house manager that my friend was 'breathing funny'. The manager gave him a different room to sleep in, shut my friends door and left him to die. The methadone he had taken was methadone my son had, because he too was an addict and was trying to get better and he was. He is now a licensed drug councilor. Trying to keep my story short, because there are so many. Too many. ❤❤❤❤❤ This is a good psa about Narcan. Its a miracle but tou have to get help afterward. And it sometimes takes two, three or more doses. But everyone should have Narcan on them....youd be surprised how often its needed.
This opioid crisis began in the mid 90s. The CDC identified it as a national emergency in 2013. It spans five administrations and includes both parties.
The CDC identified this as a national emergency in 2013. There’s a great chart that shows the dramatic climb in fentanyl related deaths over the last 12 years. The rate of increase has actually slowed slightly over the last three years. The chart is in the “community “ section of our channel.
I'm soooo angry 😡 listening to these stories!! This IS MURDER!! And FROM A PHARMACY??!! I don't care if it IS IN MEXICO! My heart goes out to all of you! 💖💖💖
With all respect, mom said "these kids never heard of fentanyl". Who has NEVER ever heard of fentanyl? I don't even live in the USA and I heard about it. If there is one person in USA who never heard of that drug, that's a serious issue that has to be adressed in schools. Cruz, rest in peace. May this family be ok and heal from his absence
But to think that any drug dealer would do "the right thing" & turn themselves in, to begin with, is beyond wishful thinking! Should not have signed any name at all if the letter had to be written.... Sending so many prayers for peace in your heart, as it is obvious the police dept has failed this entire family.
I am from Italy and have come across this lately, not sure why. In Italy we don’t have this kind of drugs and drug poisoning cases. It breaks my heart to see family members going through this situations I am so sorry for your loss. Maybe more education in school is needed and at home too.
What a beautiful look into your story. You have such a light radiating from you. What a gift you have now, and also, we have for you sharing your story and vulnerability. It's hard to talk about these things. Bless you for opening up and for sharing. I wish you and your daughter the very best. I too have struggled on and off with substance issues and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. On the contrary, once one has a taste of true sobriety ..it does tend to help shed one's ego, create more gratitude, and love more (without judgement). Good luck to you and your daughter! Thank you ❤
I drank and did some experimental drugs and quit. Married a man who never did anything but study 2 degrees business and engineering and he never drank, we raised 5 kids to NEVER do drugs or drink alcohol. We told them If you never start, you will never miss it. We told them make your grandparents proud. You will have better friends, better marriages. Live longer and see your kids live long with grandkids do all you can to bring others joy, not yourself.
