The world sucks, look around you! What is good? Yet, it's totally bs for these full on adults to be saying that they didn't know anything about it, just stop. Please.
They're bored. A lot of children look around at everything going to crap and they can't see a positive future so they're depressed and hopeless. There are also the natural, ' it'll never happen to me' attitudes. Add normal teenage angst and roaring hormones and they're dealing with a real shitstorm of negative factors and very few if any positivity or support from those who are supposed to support them. They're not taught about values, dignity, morals, they're bombarded with negative influences from Hollywood, video games and the internet with no parental or any other supervision or advice. Talk about an uphill battle!
I am sitting here watching my 3 year old playing with train toys and so happy and joyful. I can’t imagine raising this beautiful girl into adulthood just to have her taken away by a pill. This is so so sad. I can’t help but cry.
educate her with Jesus and God commandsments and with love , and reprend when she required... americans are edonists and big ego people they want all fast and teh best... it´s nice to be like that but exist limits everytime. Everybody need Jesus bro...
This is not the 60’s anymore. Everything is laced with Fentanyl these days. It’s cheap and easy to make, spreads out whatever they cut it with. Please teach your young ones!! 😢😢❤❤
In almost all of these stories, the death occurs alone and at home. Seems to me an overlooked aspect of addiction is the lack of real meaningful social connections.
Yes, well in many cases people take drugs for a reason. You could say for an underlying problem. This is also sometimes the case with people who get addicted to alcohol. They drink or do drugs as some form of self-medication. But not in all cases. Some people just start with it out of curiosity or experimenting. Of course a good loving family, good friends, can do a lot of good. (and not "good friends" who pass drugs to each other). Sometimes no matter what the people around it do it goes wrong. It's not always someones fault. Btw i am not disagreeing with you, just giving my thoughts on the subject.
Yes, as much as it may “bother” some people, this is an epidemic and we need to, at a minimum, ensure access to narcan. There’s a lot more we could do to meaningfully address this, but most people don’t like considering these things… The war on drugs is a failure, and it’s costing us more lives than ever.
@@daniriv2779 dat is niet waar!! Bij mij en mijn vriendenkring niet, een vriendin van mij zei gewoon”Dat moet je eens proberen dan krijg je een lekker gevoel”!!!een man van 35 “vriend?”zette mijn eerste shot en daarna probeerde ik t zelf ik was verkocht en mijn vrienden ook. Het begon met speed en toen de dealer werd opgepakte dacht ik”Waarom zou ik niet eens wat anders proberen en ik kocht dope (heroïne) wat ik veel lekkerder vond.2 jaar later was ik verslaafd. Nu meer als pl./min. 45 jaar later eindelijk zonder heroïne en weet ik wat voor een tabletten . Ik voel me goed ben alleen te dik. Groetjes van Wilma uit Nederland
I lost it when she said. Did she go to heaven did I do what I was supposed to do as a mother!!!! I couldn’t imagine her pain !!! I’ll sure will pray for you honey and I sure hope He helps you honey. ❤️🙏
It got bashed into me when I was a kid not to touch prescription meds as my father had it all laying around after a heart transplant. I tried everything else though except needles and I've found alcohol to be one of the worst things legal ever from things I've seen people do just on drink. I've told my kids to never ever touch pills if offered and he can talk to me about anything. I mention these stories to him also. Just want to hug this mumma bear. ❤️🙏🌻
Agree 100% alcohol destroys lives. My grandfather, my father, my uncle, my brother all alcoholics. Now I see my daughter falling into the same hell. I don’t know how to help her. What I do know if your family gets dragged into the hell too.
@@josephinevera9966 Tbh I never hear anything about fentanyl to much here though in 🇦🇺 obviously it's around but meth is everywhere here not F maybe we are still in for a wave of it in the next few years. You should show your kid some disgusting alcoholic stories of how they become, make her watch some, gotta see it to believe it sometimes and it would be outta love and care for her.. I'm sorry about it being in your family. I'm dealing with a alcoholic baby daddy right now that lies about beer and drinking and now keeps a Esky of cold heavy beers hidden in his 4x4 ready for whenever likes the wanker. I have a plan though 👌 🙃🇦🇺❤️🤫 😉
When my Son went through a stint with alcohol I literally grieved him for a full year after he lost an opportunity that threw him into a downward spiral. I panicked every time the phone rang because I believed it was someone calling to say he was gone. Through the grace of God he quit and has not drank since. My Mom was killing by a drunken driver when I was 4 and I hate alcohol so much.
My heart breaks for Misty and Cheyenne! My daughter is the same age and was friends and went to school with Cheyenne. She was an amazing young woman and such a bright light…she was someone that you could meet once and never forget her. This Momma is doing everything she can to spread awareness! Sending all my love ❤️
I randomly found these videos a few months ago. A few weeks later, my cousin passed away from a fentanyl overdose. All of these stories are similar to the way his day went. I'm starting to think I stumbled upon these videos for a reason.
I am very sorry for your loss. I talked to my teen daughters about drug use and Fentanyl poisoning pandemic. I really appreciate you and other people who lost their love ones for speaking up and share your stories🙏🙏🙏
I am not trying yo victimize the victims on this channel at all but I have heard the narrative of "doing what other kids her age are doing" so many times as a way to justify the young kidd experimenting with drugs. Perhaps if we are willing to be honest enough and realize its not what kids their age should be doing and spread that message louder we will save more lives.
We aren’t here to judge. If we are really honest, we are not here to discuss what they should really be doing. Listen closely all these young adults are more than this mistake that took their lives. It is happening too often. It can literally happen to anyone. Hopefully you will never experience that first hand to understand. That’s why they make these videos. It’s to spread awareness and that doesn’t look pretty.
@@r.molina.tx1 I never judged not at all. I would never victimize the victim and yes I have listened to every story here and more from other sources and the words of "doing what other normal kids their age do" always comes up. Sadly for many it takes just one try, one experiment to send them to an early grave. Sweeping things under the carpet wont save more lives. Telling the young people the truth and helping them not normalize everything that does not need to be normalizex will
If you’re using Fentanyl you’re a full blown addict. We have to quit minimizing using and addiction. She was full of trauma and her addiction cost her her life. I hope the family can heal.
I’m praying that my 2 young adult kids continue to stay abstinent from drugs and alcohol. I’m hoping to be the last generation in my family that’s an addict.
@@open3256 that would be ideal, but as history shows us, everyone is curious about everything, and more often than not, many give into that curiosity. Haven't you?
I am looking to this channel from Europe and it seems that also here Fentanyl has arrived in the drug scene. At first my condolences to the mom of Cheyenne and all the moms and families that have lost their children by this horrible drug. What I would like to point out from my view as an European : Do not get used to drug abuse, I mean the drugs prescribed by doctors. Pharmaindustries are very powerful and want to make more and more profit. So they go to the doctors who prescribe too often legal drugs to their patients , this has to be checked out. Also the people themselves should understand that they should not easily take pills for everything. For example, my son 22 years old, had a kind of burn out in 2021 during last year of college. First option from the doctor was : you can take pills but second option was to go to a psychological doctor (sorry I don't know the exact English word). Since 1 year and a half he goes once a week, established a good relationship and this doctor helps him a lot with anxiety and depression phases without pills. Pills should be used only when it comes to serious mental illness. I think also this message should be included in the information campaigns. A big hug to the mother of Cheyenne and all other moms suffering.
I feel like this happens way too often. You do your best to raise your children the best that you can & this can still happen. I have talked to my son constantly about drugs & all I can do is hope that he listens. Nobody is safe anymore because you just don't know what's in street drugs anymore. The best thing is to not do any drugs. It isn't worth you losing your life just to get high.
@Charlene Hayashida yes ma'am you are so right! The evil cartels put fentanyl in medication for everyone that takes any medication! Insanity to do that to anyone! Pure evil hateful disgusting ratchet wretched people that do not care about anyone.
It’s easier said than done! This young generation with all the technology adding anxiety and not to mention the ripple affects of the pandemic for people who suffer from a mental disorder it was the worse thing ever! The reason I say this is, because I too lost my 22 year old son to this demon drug the same year! 😭💔
My deepest condolences to you and your family 😪😪🙏I’m a mother of 4 grown up kid’s my youngest passed away on February 27 2017 he was only 21 years old.he died in a horrific accident and the pain of loosing a child is the worst nightmare a human can feel.R.I.P. Sweetheart 😪🙏
These stories are heartbreaking, so senseless and preventable. I know of many ppl, I met in passing, that have died of fentynal poisoning. My ex bf passed out in front of me, I administered CPR until I got the Narcan. He survived but the burden of constantly worrying if he will OD was too much to bare. I exited the relationship realizing this was beyond my control. The trauma this causes families and friends is enormous! RIP 💗😥🙏
This is heartbreaking, 🙏🏻 if the DEA spent half as much attention and time STOPPING THIS SHIT coming into our country as they spend on chronic pain patients and doctors & the stupid CDC & prescriptions this might not of happened to this lovely young lady….
how would they stop this from coming over the border? are you claiming that we stop allowing people to just come into the US? are you racist or something?
We lost our nephew to the same thing. Please please be careful. Prayers to this family as we've been there. The healing is long and hard. Trust God, talk to someone if you need to. It's okay to take as long as you need to grieve. ❤🙏 United we stand, lift each other up.
These videos are very moving, touching "stories". I give credit to the family members to speak publicly about such an emotional and heartbreaking situation. I hope that many people watch and understand the message.
No need set off "stories" in quotations. That would only apply if you're saying these are fake stories, but these are 100% the victims' stories. You clearly don't know how to use quotations.
Your daughters death educated your granddaughter is no one else, that’s not in vein. thank you so much for continuing that education as far as you can bring it! Don’t ever second guess being a good mother. It’s very clear you were and your daughter loved you dearly.
These videos are so beautifully filmed. So sorry for this family's loss. I saw on the news today that Fentanyl is on the rise. I hope these substance abusers watch the news and avoid meds they don't know what they really are. Interesting...she had a substance abuse history, went out drinking, went home with a drug dealer to play cards...I'm not surprised with the outcome, saddened, but not surprised.
I watch all these videos and they all hurt.. heart goes out to Cheyenne's family. I buried 10 close friends, probably 25 people I knew counting acquaintances. By some miracle I was able to get clean and wouldn't be here without every one of these stories. There not just stories, they're legacies and lessons we all need to learn from. love you all🙏
Congratulations on becoming clean. My husband and I help at a tent city (homeless camp). So many beautiful young people that have not died from Fentanyl but have ended up with Fentanyl dementia. Gut wrenching to watch these kids with their brains like old people. God bless you. ❤️🙏🇨🇦
I have been watching all of these video's. I have never done drugs in my life but I personally think that everyone no matter who you are should watch these video's. It's important to see what these drugs can do to you so you don't ever consider taking them.
I’m sorry for your loss, addiction doesn’t discriminate. I pray for all those still addicted, those in recovery and all of the family and friends who support us.
My thoughts and prayers to the family. Another beautiful soul gone too early! I too lost my 22 year old son to this demon drug! It hurts so much, but it was heartbreaking 💔 that the laws from Texas do not require law enforcement to take criminal actions against these dam drug dealers that are clearly getting away with murder!! My son too suffered from anxiety and depression and the pandemic made it worse for anyone with a mental disability. We desperately need a change with new laws before more of our families, friends or loved ones and younger kids fall victim to this fentanyl epidemic! 🙏🏻
I am sooo sorry for your loss. No parent especially a mum should have to go through this. It hasn't reached where i live but it's only a matter of time. I just lost my mum to years of heart break after losing my 39 yr old baby sister to alcoholism. Addiction does NOT DISCRIMINATE and its not a dirty word or a bad choice, it's a DISEASE. Bless you sweetheart for your help raising Awareness 💔 May God be with you and Cheyenne' loved ones.
I have recently discovered the fentanyl poisoning series over the past few days. The stories hit very close to home; as we lost my 22 year old nephew, Simon, in April 2023. To see families like yours form non profits within a year to bring awareness gives us great hope! RIP Cheyenne, Simon and so many others ❤
Thank you for sharing the worst thing you've ever been through! I'm absolutely heartbroken for you over the loss of your daughter. 💔 She will rest in peace.
It's so sad. I lost a friend to Fentanyl poising just days after he and I made plans to visit. He was like an uncle to my kids. These stories I know bring awareness but at the same time this one hit close to home for me. I seriously hope that the family is doing okay now.
So heartwrenching.. I hope they are able to be comforted just a little from their terrible loss. I know they will never fully recover. She was beautiful.
So sorry for your loss! I lost my son to a brain bleed last year. It’s hell to say the least. He was 22 and just had so much going for him. But I guess God needed him more than us. God bless us all! Please take this serious.
When she told stephanie that Cheyenne's dead. I just couldn't imagine those words coming out of my mouth! I think of my daughter. This comment is hard for me to write because my heart is beating so fast and hard. My heart goes out to her mom.
My daughter was born 5 months ago and these stories are terrifying. I abused quite a few drugs as a teen even though my parents were great and warned me. Something just changes for some teenagers at that age. Like flipping a switch. I hope she has more sense at that age and that I can do everything possible to prevent this.
As gut wrenching as these stories are, they need to be seen. And as sad as it is that I know with 100% certainty these stories will just keep coming and coming, please keep sharing them. The stories need to be seen by any and everyone. I’m coming up on four years of sobriety and I think God every single day but my loved ones are not having to share my story and how they lost me. Those little blue M 30 pills are exactly what I was taking sometimes four or five at a time. I stopped and got help because my children need their mother. My wife needs her wife. But mostly because I need to be here to break the cycle both of my parents were full-fledged addicts I absolutely do not want that life for my sons. Thank you to every single person who has shared their loved ones story and let us all in life altering mode. You’re saving lives.
If you even have the tiniest suspicion that one of your kids is headed in this direction, don't make excuses, don't talk about what a "good kid" they are. They are almost all good kids. Get them help. My brother was drinking and using drugs, and almost killed himself in a motorcycle crash. He was on crutches and couldn't walk without assistance. I helped my mom find a live-in rehab, and we went to pick him up together. She couldn't have done it alone. We drove him to the rehab, and dropped his ass off. He's been sober ever since. Also, you can't always be there if they OD, but every household should have Narcan in it. .
Thank you for sharing your Precious Daughter's story with us. I'm so very sorry for your loss. You and your Family are in my thoughts and Prayers. God bless. 🥺🙏💔✝️
I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I thank God that pills were not popular back when my son's were younger. These are not a gate way drug. This is not a drug that you can experiment with. It's "One and done." Which should also be a slogan along with yours, written everywhere. God Bless you. I hope that your story touches many. It touched me. 🙏
I am so very sorry you had to loose your beautiful daughter to this deadly drug. I cannot even imagine the pain you are suffering through. May God bless you and give you the strength to continue bringing awareness to your community. It’s such a huge tragedy in our country. You are very brave.
Addiction is a hard thing to live with, whether you are the addicted or the person who deals with the aftermath everyday. The problem is society is learning at an early stage in life that they can have what they want, without consequences , addiction will tempt anyone. It is no respector race, class, or age. My sympathy goes out to all involved, it's mongrel thing
Seems the more understanding we are the more damage we do. We come with ready made excuses for users and it doesn't help. I think people react this way to ease any possible guilt if the user dies.
If she had all that stuff in her system she prob died of a reaction. Doing drugs is NOT a normal thing to do. She sadly was a addict. I don't know how one would of saved her, she was a adult and decided to take these drugs herself, she knew the risks but was seeking that high. As all addicts do they take more and more to reach that high. Sorry for your loss .
Not a damn thing you can take with a fentanyl pill that's going to balance it out, aka make a speedball. If a person is opiate-naive, their first dose of fentanyl will kill them, hands down. Experienced heroin users have died from 'hot' dope--heroin with fentanyl in it--and now, fentanyl addicts are running into problems with 'tranq dope', or fent cut with the animal tranquilizers Xylazine and Nitrazine, both of which increase sedation/decrease respiratory rate, and cause weeping sores on extremities that often get infected and necessitate amputation.
If I have learned anything about addiction is that there is no level of addiction, there is just addiction and trying to replace one thing with another. is just switching the type of addiction. If someone has an alcohol addiction, and they age choose to not drink, but then they start smoking well, all they have is now a smoking addiction. If they smoke and decide that they want to stop that but then decide to start taking pills for anxiety now those become the addiction. You can’t be an addict and have anything chemical or mood changing going in your body. You just can’t. Heartbreaking for this family. For Cheyenne.
At 26 years old she was out of your control. As parents we preach right/ wrong/ being careful/ etc. but peer pressure is real. Youth hasn’t lived enough life to realize consequences. Sad.
One common denominator in all cases is depression and anxiety. I am a mental health professional myself children need to be taught resilience and self-worth. No matter what demons we have to face in life everything at the end works on.
I am so so sorry for your loss. So glad you were able to start your organization and work to make a difference. Thank you for sharing your story and fighting back. Your daughter's legacy lives on in your advocacy. ❤️🙏
Im sick of this shit we need to stand up and start being beyond tough on dealers of this poison here in denver you see many people walking around with tin foil and a plastic tube bless you Cheyenne on your journey home you will never be forgotten
I think when a parent has an addiction , it makes it so much harder to set boundaries with the child. You just don't have that authority. And that's what addicted ppl who have kids need to realize. So I am sorry for the loss, but, mother, it's on you too. Especially since the mother KNEW and just let her do it. She had so many drugs that even without fentanyl she could have died. It's not okay to allow your kid do serious drugs as long as it's not fentanyl!!!!
It is misguided to only blame the fentanyl. I am sorry for the family's pain and commend the mother for starting the foundation, but condoning non-fentanyl drug use (dabbling) is misguided and will lead to more deaths.
Where does this mother say that she condoned what her daughter was doing? Her daughter was an adult and not under her mothers authority. She can “KNOW” what she is doing all she wants but how is she supposed to stop her adult daughter from doing what she wants to do? Did that make you feel better to write that to the mother? Do you think she doesn’t feel that every day of her life? I understand feeling that way to a degree but it is honestly just cruel to write it on a video of a mother who is admitting to her own shortcomings, being honest about her own addictions and the struggles of her deceased daughter to spread awareness and help others avoid a similar loss.
@@smasherz3149 I sympathize with the pain. I lost a brother to heroin addiction. My reply was not for the mother. But for all the mothers who have kids. I expressed my opinion: if you struggle with addiction it will be much harder to set expectations with your child to not do drugs. Doing the right thing is smth you teach someone before they become independent so they know what the right thing is when the parent is not there. So I also wrote what I wrote to prevent similar loss: do not do drugs yourself and raise kids that don't do drugs too. Any drugs.
Sending hugs and prayer. I know a few people who died from this poison. These drugs need to be off the streets. Thanks to the 1st responders and thank you to law enforcement
My brother was heavily addicted to narcotics. He couldn't cope anymore and shot himself in the chest with a shotgun. I miss him more than anyting in this world. 💔
