I’m so very sorry your loss. I’m living this nightmare, watching your videos gives me hope that I will one day be able to speak openly about my son’s addiction without breaking down.
Sandra, my heart goes out to you. I’ve obviously been off RU-vid for awhile and just saw this. Drug addiction is a terrible disease. And sadly we family members cannot really do anything to help. I’m so so sorry. Sending love, prayers and hugs. Let us know how you are doing.
Sending my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. It's a crappy club to belong to. Just heartbreaking. You are an inspiration and have guided many to a better understanding of addiction and co-dependency. I call Seth “My beautiful boy” too. Continue to take of yourself.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Sandra. I found your videos several years ago in desperation for support when a family member was experiencing similar issues. I had so much hope that Ben would pull through. Mental health is so poorly managed across the board. I’m so heartbroken for you ❤ thank you for sharing your journeys together.
@@Aspiration0587 Thank you for your message. I’m glad you found our videos when you needed them. Our journey is not over, Thanks to Ben I found my purpose. ✌️ ❤️
I really missed you Ben. Last time sometimes in June 2024 I visited you in Rehab in Mclaughin in Brampton because I know you are in a good place. When I saw you I'm so much happy because you gained weight and happy face. When I left the Rehab I'm felt mix of sadness because you've been in Rehab again for six months in Penengteguishene and you said to me I will visited you there for one day. I said I will come to you and we chill for one day. I felt relax and comfortable that you still in the clinic. After a week maybe you message me that you are homeless and I asked why you left the rehab? and you said yes. I will messaging Ben and keep asking where are you now and did not answer. After 2 weeks Ben passed away. Note to Importance:: Keep in touch always to your love ones, family and friends.

@@jeffschmidt3003 Thank you. I think of you and Seth often. I feel blessed to have learned so much from Ben. He made a difference and will continue to. ✌️ ❤️
So sad for you Sandy and Ben . I have watched your videos for couple years. Thank you and thank you Ben your videos a few times carried me. Thank you thank you so sorry for your loss. Heaven has gained an angel.
His family loved him more then words can describe, it was his drug addiction that caused him to be homeless , his family was their everyday for him along the way
If you don’t understand the disease of addiction it’s probably not the best idea to comment on the page of a grieving mother that lost her son. My son is battling addiction, I offered him help so many times while he lived with me. He chose to live in his car and do drugs over living at home and getting help.
It’s so sad that someone’s got to make a comment like that. It shows that a lot of people still need to be educated on mental illness and addiction! Please do your research or watch the videos before making a comment like that. Sandra is my sister and I know the struggles and challenges she has been through !! She’s an amazing mom who has done everything in her power to help Ben!! So I will rise above your comment knowing you just don’t get it! Have a great day!
Thanks for your comment. It truly reminds me of why we did these videos. We wanted to educate people and remove the stigma . Many that may not be affected by this horrible disease may not understand the realities that come with it. Thank you to those who responded with their own experiences, ✌️ ❤️
