1m so sorry for your loss , I care !!! I lost my son to Fentanyl poisoning. He was a Son , Brother , father, good friend. He had pain and suffered from ptsd , he thought he was taken a pain pill . These people who lace these pills with Fentanyl need to be held accountable but t h ey are not. Your Sons memory matters .Tell their stories . Hold them in your hearts !! Their lives mattered xx
Thankyou for having the courage to speak out about your beautiful son . His passing will save many more, and I am one of them. Suboxone saved my life. Thankyou, mom.
I'm so sorry you lost your son. 😭 I lost mine four years ago. He was my only child as well. I know the continuing heartbreak.💔 Thank you for telling his story and helping others. May God bless you 🙏🕊️
Hi Tami, I was just in the Live chat with you. Thank you so much for being a voice for Chase! The courage it must take to be so vulnerable and honest is much appreciated by those like myself who are learning so much from you story tellers about your beautiful loved ones. My heart goes out to you. Keep up the good work! I know Chase is proud of you.
You are a beautiful person. I imagine a young man with your spirit in him and I know what a beautiful soul he was. I am sorry you lost him so young but very glad he was in this world.
Dear Mrs. Boblitt, First of all: I‘m truly sorry for your terrible loss 😔 I also have to say „Thank you“ to you for telling the story of Chase, his life, his journey and his passing. I admire the strength you have and I also have to say „Thank you“ for your honesty regarding that you got professional help and counseling because you needed it. There was, is and for sure never will be any reason to be ashamed of. This disease can only be fought by spreading the word and telling the victims stories. Thank you for being another storyteller so that maybe, just maybe, at least one other person can be saved! With sad regards from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp
I really hate that she had to tell people not to post things about someone passing on Facebook but I’m glad she mentioned it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen it done about people in my town and it never sits right with me. She made a fantastic point, if they really were your friend you don’t need to run make a post about it. I’m sorry she had to find out that way and I’m extremely sorry for her loss. 💞
I have a 10 yr old son (my only child as well) & I couldn't even begin to fathom my life without him. 😢 I'm so sorry for your immeasurable loss. Sending love & prayers to you & your family.
Mama, I am so sorry for you loss of your son/baby Chase. Our children will always be our babies. Ma’am my heart hurts for you. Does time heal all wounds? It gets better but the wound is always there. 🙏🏻
The thing about grief is like what do you mean they aren’t here physically anymore , it’s crazy how much death of a love one will change you drastically you will never come to terms with it , Rip to Chase may his beautiful soul rest in peace I’m sending his loved ones so much love and healing
@@chelseagirl278think of Tina and her comment. Don’t make a comment like this to her. Her feelings are valid and have absolutely nothing to do with people/couples not being able to have children. I feel the exact same way as she does and it has NOTHING to do with folks who can’t have kids. It’s her truth, don’t ever deny someone that.
Everyone has a story to tell. Too many people in society look at the homeless and addicts as throwaway people. Too many people turn a blind eye and think that the homeless are homeless solely of their own doing. Mental illness, addiction, the economy as well as a myriad of other factors contribute. There are innumerable cases of people getting injured at work, in a car accident or numerous other ways and are prescribed opiates and a year later they have lost everything and living on the street shooting heroin all because they were injured. There but for a roll of the dice go I. I'm over 25 years sober and want you to know that I hope you continue to tell your and your son's story. It is important and I assure you it will and is helping someone somewhere. My condolences on your loss.
OMG!! I’m so sorry for your loss, but THANK YOU for stating the obvious. Stop posting people passing away on Social media until you KNOW the family has been notified and that they have made the announcement. People who do this piss me off in the worse way!! Stop the attention seeking by wanting to be the 1st! We found out my cousin passed away on FB because someone decided they should post before the family. The majority of our family found out via FB. Stop doing that! Rest peacefully Chase, prayers to your entire family🙏🏾💙
What I love most about what Chase's Mom said is how he was so much more then his addiction. ❤ I wish every addict new that to help them recover and on that note , I wish every person could awaken to realize that we are not our circumstances. ❤ We are so much more we are all the awareness behind all things and we are all one ❤
I'm going thru it ATM too. I'm sorry. But I hope you know you aren't alone. I know it feels like it. Cuz I feel alone rite now as I write this. But. I'm in that boat with you. Sending you hugs from mein Oklahoma ❤
Tami, so sorry for your loss, addiction is a beast. Fentanyl is evil. My son (31)struggles with alcohol addiction and recently took enough benedrl to put him in the hospital for days. God bless you. I agree we need to get rid of the stigma associated with substance abuse disorder.
My heart goes out to you dear Mama because I understand! My brother died from addiction!! It broke my heart into a million pieces!! I’m forever changed !! My what a strong person you are and you’re such a wonderful woman ! I admire you so much because you’ve taken all of your pain from the loss of Chase !! and you have made it your purpose to help others !! My sibling was the only one I had and while he had been ill for sometime !! Nothing prepares you for the shock of a sudden death of that terrifying phone call at 2am !! I will be praying for you dear friend that God will give you comfort in the days months years to come May God wrap his arms around you and keep you safe !! Our only young man has special needs ❤ We don’t have any other kids !! When he was born we went through such heartbreak because of his disabilities of Down’s syndrome then later he was diagnosed with Autism but I’m so so glad now for his disabilities {that sounds awful ] but I write this because we can keep him safe because drugs are everywhere and so so easy to purchase I send you all my love and prayers to comfort you ! You were the best of Mums sweetheart and look what your doing now to help others in dire straits You are a Queen among woman Thank you for sharing Chase story….What a lovely young man he was and thank for all your doing in Chase’s memory….God bless you Your in my heart ❤️
I’m sorry for your loss, Chase did matter! We all matter the disease don’t make us bad unlovable people, thanks goodness we have family and friends the love us. I’m 30 years clean. I wish Chase could have more time to live a clean free life!
Addiction is not a disease. It’s a stronghold from Satan. A lust of the flesh. We are in a spiritual battle against the enemy of our soul. The thief (Satan) comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (Jesus) have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10 He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8
This momma is so sweet and understanding. Chase was lucky to have you. I am so sorry this happened to your son. It sounds like he was doing so well in his recovery. This is so awful. This damn Fentynal just makes me furious! I hate it, i want it to go away! It needs to stop!! Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you momma 🙏 You are in my prayers. Fly high Chase 🕊
I have the same tattoo in the same place, with my son’s name added. I am fortunate to still have my only son, because he is also my person. I feel your pain, and smiled upon learning that you and I share the same, in some universal way. Wishing you love and light. 🌟✨💫
My best friend lost her only child...her beautiful daughter, Nicolette. 😢 She was only 20. As with you son, it was a Xanax she thought she was taking.😢😢😢😢😢 It has been almost 4 years now, and my dear friend is just finding her will to begin living again. I am sooooo very sorry for your loss. May God continue to bless you and confort you until you are with your beautiful Chase once again.
My deepest condolences to you on Chase's passing. You have a very important mission here on earth. Chase is surely so proud of his Mama God bless you 🙏
Tami, you are a true warrior. Thank you for sharing your person with us. He was wonderful. While your heart is shattered, the leftover pieces are prisms that display fiercely bright the love you have for Chase. No more shame. No more embarrassment. He was human and certainly didn't know what he was getting that day. Continue to fight for those that are invisible. You're amazing. ❤❤❤
Your life should ALWAYS have Chase in it. Pray for his beautiful soul DAILY. I will keep Chase and your family now always-in the prayers of my heart. Divine Mercy Chaplet.
Mom. You didn't fail in at way. Chase would be so proud of you. There is no shame in being an addict, whether it is to nicotine, alcohol, gambling, eating, shopping, sex... We are ALL addicts. These things change our brain chemistry, and relapse is part of recovery. It sounds like he was finally on the right path, but it can take 6 months or more to rewire your brain, and you deal with anxiety and depression, along with cravings that can catch you at a weak moment. The police DO care, as many of them have also lost family and loved ones to these lethal chemicals. Their caseloads are just overwhelming because so many people are dying.
I’m sorry for your loss of your beautiful son. I try to be kind to the homeless and struggling in my community, or wherever I go. It seems like the ones in addiction are very sensitive souls. The drugs and/or alcohol buries that but the true person is still there. It’s very heartbreaking. Love and prayers🙏🏻🕊️
Chase drove two hours to pick up death. What is so sad is that he knew all about Fentanyl as it had claimed so many of his friends including whom I assume was his best one named Ethan. There must be harsher punishments for the dealers of this poison (and manufacturers as well). I think Fentanyl deaths need to be reclassified for starters. We need National Media Attention to this urgent situation. Hopefully more will be done by the Government in 2025 I pray. As always, thanks TX Pictures.
Fentanyl Awareness should start in primary school. High school students should be exposed to young speakers who have either losing a friend to fentanyl or surviving fentanyl. Fentanyl is a scourge, we must keep making the effort to make awareness of this tragic occurrences. Some fentanyl overdoses are a result of getting a "bad" pill, others have an active drug addiction. In any case, drug education needs to be pumped into our awareness. At a physical, doctors need to offer education on addictive drugs. At the dentist, same thing.
Let me say you speak so eloquently and clearly you loved Chase to pieces, I don't know how you and others go on esp being your only son with no other children to at least take your mind off the sadness. You are so right we should not let addiction define our kids bc like Chase they are unique and have many other things in their lives that are fun and good and uplifting for them. It's hard to believe that this is even happening to people and there seems little that can be done to stop the influx of these poisonous pills. You are doing so many affirmative things to help folks in need and you seem like a wonderful person. God bless you as you try to live without your best guy Chase.
My son also passed from fentanyl. Same story, just trying to get him help was such an uphill battle. I felt as if our government doesn't value people with substance abuse disorder, because they're viewed as addicts, which means they are worthless in their eyes. My son's been gone a year. He overdosed from heroine two years ago and I very naively believed that he wouldn't touch it again. I would love to know when he decided fentanyl was the better choice, because thats all they found in his system at autopsy. I am sorry for your loss. Substance abuse disorder is a form of mental illness. No one in their right mind chooses to live a life where they are constantly chasing the next high, where they know they can die but they can't /won't stop. Again, sorry for your loss, I sadly know the pain you are feeling too well.
America has to get to the root cause of its abysmal failures as a people group: loss of identity. We've become masterful at pointing out, naming, shaming, and guilt tripping the flaws, shortcomings, and misdeeds of others (and ourselves) that we're running to alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, etc for the quick fix. The argument now is "my body, my life, my choice. I'll do what I want, when I want, how I want, as long as I want!!!" REALLY?!?!?!?!?!?! The last time someone harmed you did you offer forgiveness or bitter hatred as your response? Are we surprised anymore at the prevalent indifference that we're willing to make lasting change? Or are we too self dependent, self sustaining, self reliant to seek help and put forth effort to change? Until we as a people group quit belittling, ridiculing, shaming, and hating others we're not going to change. Until we're willing to listen, forgive, and offer the hand up (not hand out) we're not going to see change. If you don't like the way your life is going, do something about it!
Gosh, Chase's undershirt made him look like a priest to me for a second. Terribly sorry; these videos are making an impact, the numbers are decreasing in part due to awareness.
So many people are able to use marijuana for their benefit. There are also an alarming amount of people that will have it be a gateway drug. They cannot stop from increasing use & moving to stronger drugs. That’s the red flag that should hopefully get someone’s attention.
Sending you big hugs, your story sounds a lot like My Son. Stigma will go away when we stop supporting the nonprofits in organizations that judge kids like ours, my son was in an addict for many years, he had a criminal history drug charges found these misdemeanors and some of these very big Organizations that these moms know and support discriminated against him for that and that is what needs to stop if we wanna break the stigma addicted Angels absolutely matter I went through the struggle of trying to get my son into a rehab absolutely insane. Would it be OK to talk?Can you message me.?
No medical Fentanyl use is highly controlled. China sends the raw materials to the Mexican cartels that press the Fentanyl into fake Xanax and Percocets. It crosses the US borders and is sold here. The origin is not pharmacies or hospitals.
Everyone's talking about fentanyl. My prayer is that people make better choices. A young child knows that drugs are not good for them. However, some will still choose them, knowing the consequences can result in death. I highly recommend JESUS. Some people will beg to differ, and that's ok. But try Him for yourself before you knock Him. JESUS saves lives. Trust and believe that. In JESUS' name. Hallelujah! 🙌👏 Amen. 🙏
Jesus was, and still is, the ONLY answer for anyone to be completely forgiven and SET FREE indeed from Satans stronghold of addiction. Cry out in humility and complete surrender, and you will be saved. The thief (Satan) comes not, but for to steal, to kill, and to destroy: I (Jesus) have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Jesus is the answer.
1m so sorry for your loss , I care !!!
I lost my son to Fentanyl poisoning. He was a Son , Brother , father, good friend. He had pain and suffered from ptsd , he thought he was taken a pain pill . These people who lace these pills with Fentanyl need to be held accountable but t h ey are not.
Your Sons memory matters .Tell their stories . Hold them in your hearts !! Their lives mattered xx

I have only one child, my son. He’s twenty three. I can not imagine losing him. Bless your heart mama. ❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou for having the courage to speak out about your beautiful son . His passing will save many more, and I am one of them. Suboxone saved my life. Thankyou, mom.

Sorry to hear about your brother, I look out for when you tell his story. His story needs to be told
@Kelly-qv3wg it's my story...I was calling the creator brother
@Kelly-qv3wg I appreciate it...I can't wait to tell my story either
Amen!!! He was so much more than his addiction. Very good wisdom shared......
My deepest condolences to you on Chase's passing.
You have a very important mission here on earth. Chase is surely so proud of his Mama
God bless you 🙏
I’m sorry 😞. 🙏 🙏
The audacity of them not even notifying the family of his death first😡
My deepest condolences and prayers out to you and your family,......R.i.p. Chase
Tami, you are a true warrior. Thank you for sharing your person with us. He was wonderful. While your heart is shattered, the leftover pieces are prisms that display fiercely bright the love you have for Chase. No more shame. No more embarrassment. He was human and certainly didn't know what he was getting that day. Continue to fight for those that are invisible. You're amazing. ❤❤❤
Your life should ALWAYS have Chase in it.
Pray for his beautiful soul DAILY.

I lost my only daughter, my person. Mental health and addiction is at pandemic level and no one talks about it. Hugs momma 🦋
Fentanyl Awareness should start in primary school. High school students should be exposed to young speakers who have either losing a friend to fentanyl or surviving fentanyl. Fentanyl is a scourge, we must keep making the effort to make awareness of this tragic occurrences. Some fentanyl overdoses are a result of getting a "bad" pill, others have an active drug addiction. In any case, drug education needs to be pumped into our awareness. At a physical, doctors need to offer education on addictive drugs. At the dentist, same thing.
SAD!
Let me say you speak so eloquently and clearly you loved Chase to pieces, I don't know how you and others go on esp being your only son with no other children to at least take your mind off the sadness. You are so right we should not let addiction define our kids bc like Chase they are unique and have many other things in their lives that are fun and good and uplifting for them. It's hard to believe that this is even happening to people and there seems little that can be done to stop the influx of these poisonous pills. You are doing so many affirmative things to help folks in need and you seem like a wonderful person. God bless you as you try to live without your best guy Chase.
This hits hard that the young man was doing everything right to get his life turned around but he just needed to get some sleep and it killed him.😢
💞
LOVE THE TATTOO 🤌🏽💙💙💙💙❤️
My son also passed from fentanyl. Same story, just trying to get him help was such an uphill battle. I felt as if our government doesn't value people with substance abuse disorder, because they're viewed as addicts, which means they are worthless in their eyes.
My son's been gone a year. He overdosed from heroine two years ago and I very naively believed that he wouldn't touch it again. I would love to know when he decided fentanyl was the better choice, because thats all they found in his system at autopsy.
I am sorry for your loss. Substance abuse disorder is a form of mental illness. No one in their right mind chooses to live a life where they are constantly chasing the next high, where they know they can die but they can't /won't stop.
Again, sorry for your loss, I sadly know the pain you are feeling too well.
No they prioritize bombs for Ukraine and Israel and profits for the investors of the arms industry and not our own citizens.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💞
I, as well, have one child, he is in active addiction, i haven't lost him...yet. I don't know what to do.
Absolute shame

America has to get to the root cause of its abysmal failures as a people group: loss of identity.
We've become masterful at pointing out, naming, shaming, and guilt tripping the flaws, shortcomings, and misdeeds of others (and ourselves) that we're running to alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, etc for the quick fix. The argument now is "my body, my life, my choice. I'll do what I want, when I want, how I want, as long as I want!!!"
REALLY?!?!?!?!?!?!
The last time someone harmed you did you offer forgiveness or bitter hatred as your response? Are we surprised anymore at the prevalent indifference that we're willing to make lasting change? Or are we too self dependent, self sustaining, self reliant to seek help and put forth effort to change?
Until we as a people group quit belittling, ridiculing, shaming, and hating others we're not going to change. Until we're willing to listen, forgive, and offer the hand up (not hand out) we're not going to see change.
If you don't like the way your life is going, do something about it!
Gosh, Chase's undershirt made him look like a priest to me for a second. Terribly sorry; these videos are making an impact, the numbers are decreasing in part due to awareness.
So many people are able to use marijuana for their benefit. There are also an alarming amount of people that will have it be a gateway drug. They cannot stop from increasing use & moving to stronger drugs. That’s the red flag that should hopefully get someone’s attention.

Sending you big hugs, your story sounds a lot like My Son. Stigma will go away when we stop supporting the nonprofits in organizations that judge kids like ours, my son was in an addict for many years, he had a criminal history drug charges found these misdemeanors and some of these very big Organizations that these moms know and support discriminated against him for that and that is what needs to stop if we wanna break the stigma addicted Angels absolutely matter I went through the struggle of trying to get my son into a rehab absolutely insane. Would it be OK to talk?Can you message me.?
Praying for the families 😊ghg nffff
Why don't they just get rid of fentanyl it the pharmacy fault
No medical Fentanyl use is highly controlled. China sends the raw materials to the Mexican cartels that press the Fentanyl into fake Xanax and Percocets. It crosses the US borders and is sold here. The origin is not pharmacies or hospitals.
Everyone's talking about fentanyl. My prayer is that people make better choices. A young child knows that drugs are not good for them. However, some will still choose them, knowing the consequences can result in death. I highly recommend JESUS. Some people will beg to differ, and that's ok. But try Him for yourself before you knock Him. JESUS saves lives. Trust and believe that. In JESUS' name. Hallelujah! 🙌👏 Amen. 🙏
Jesus was, and still is, the ONLY answer for anyone to be completely forgiven and SET FREE indeed from Satans stronghold of addiction. Cry out in humility and complete surrender, and you will be saved.
The thief (Satan) comes not, but for to steal, to kill, and to destroy: I (Jesus) have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Jesus is the answer.
