    The best way we can connect to another person is through our emotions. We can have different and similar experiences, however, never the same. Yet, we all know what it feels like to be lost, lonely, sad, angry, happy, excited, and remorseful.... so, if we can connect through emotions, we can connect on any experience.

    I think though it's very normal for people to ask what happened .My nephew died from drug overdose at 20 while away in school.We all wanted to in know what happened.We have used his death as a platform to teach college students in SC what any drug can do.Also I honestly feel it's our own shame that we should have known better that keeps us upset.I never play this down.This is an Epidemic

    I am a close friend with Kyle’s mom. She has always talked about you and Kyle’s relationship with you and how special you are. I would have met you at your wedding. You are as strong and as brave as can be. As wonderful as I had been told. I hope to meet you one of these days as I go through Bako. Kyle would be great with counseling as his career. ❤

Ask Kyle to show his brother B a special sign to let him know he's okay. I know each family member is still struggling with the loss in their own way, but I feel B is really having a very hard time. Lord be with you all. I wish you all peace.

    I lost my best friend to addiction 7 years ago. It was the worst day of my life. I couldn’t imagine losing my fiancé. I was an addict and will have 9 years sober in October. You are so strong for sharing this. You’re going to help so many people. Thinking of you and your family! ❤

    This was definitely a tough watch. I had to pause multiple times to keep myself from crying. Watching this has brought up difficult emotions for me from what I went through. I have many people who are close to me that have died of drug overdose, are recovering addicts, or are active addicts. I have an ex that was a very bad drug addict that I was with for 10 1/2 years. I went through very many traumatic things being with him and there were times that he could have died from an overdose. I would find him slumped over all the time from being so high but he always eventually came to. One time he took something with fentanyl I believe it was and was going into an overdose. Which he got from my sister who also was a drug addict. I was laying down in bed trying to go to sleep and he was laying there high out of his mind next to me and my sister comes in my room and tells me his lips are blue and he was barely breathing. He wasn’t responding so she gave him narcan. He wasn’t responding to the narcan at first so she tells me to call 911 so I call and I’m just in shock I could barely talk to the operator so my sister takes the phone and talks to them. He came to 10 mins before the ambulance shows up and was acting completely fine. That narcan saved his life. If I would have went to sleep and my sister didn’t come in the room to check on him and give him narcan I would have woken up to him dead next to me. That was the last straw for me and I broke up with him. He’s sober now apparently with a really good job. I’m just very thankful I didn’t have to go through him dying, that would have completely broken me. I’m so extremely sorry that you had to go through that, my heart is broken for you, your son and the whole family😢. I follow Krista and Bryce on instagram and they always talk about Kyle and how wonderful of a person he was. Thank you for being so brave to talk about this. Talking about addiction is something that needs to be talked about a lot more. I hope this story is a wake up call for people who are struggling with addiction. You are doing great things with sharing Kyle’s story. Sending a big virtual hug to you.🫂

    Thank you for sharing your story & helping to de-stigmatize addictions & mental health. I believe there’s a new statistic that every ~5 mins we lose someone to fentanyl poisoning, when just up to a few months ago it was every 11 mins. You & your son have the most special guardian watching over you both. ❤ I’m looking forward to more episodes

Please please reach out to the youth, now at elementary schools they have vape smoke detectors in the bathroom and narcan in the schools nurse station. Times have changed for the worse when it comes to the world of street drugs
