Thank you Petra. I am honored to hold space for your beautiful Danny and your family. I promise to be fighting alongside of you until those 5 key domains are adequately addressed. Sending you love and hugs from another mama who understands!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and having the courage to lean in and fight for harm reduction , against stigma and the criminalization of people who use drugs through your work with Moms Stop the Harm. You are inspiring!
I have traveled your journey myself. My son, Noah died in 2016. Very important information and so much is misunderstood in society and so little progress has been made.
My David, like your Danny, also died of fentanyl poisoning. I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m proud of the way you are dealing with it. I hope one day I will be strong enough to stand up and be an advocate for addiction education.
Thank you, Wanda. I am so sorry for your loss. While it is important to get our message out, it is not easy. The TedX format, where you have to remember your entire talk and can't go overtime was a big challenge for my foggy grieving brain. I am glad I did this and hope it helps others.
Petra, I can't believe I am just seeing this now. I am so moved. What a brilliant and important talk. Thank you so much for this. You are a beautiful human.
Thank you for watching. I am so inspired by your work and the message you give about the importance of not only including family but empowering families with the right information and supports.
So impressed with Petra and I'm so sorry for her loss. What a horrible story. Much love sent out to her. She absolutely nailed it when she said we should all have a safe supply of medication yet we are not. Millions upon Millions have died due to this. It's almost like chronic pain patients, addicts, drug users on ANY levels have a Stigma around them and they have no place to turn. Why can't the government take advice from this beautiful soul?
Unfortunately it’s not being talked about enough still! At least not by the government and law enforcement. They should not only be putting Narcan in every American household mailbox, but they should also be educating everybody about this. With this Covid, which is a pandemic, not an epidemic, they basically forced us to get vaccinated on their dime. If you remember, there was a death counter, and every every single TV in America in the corner they show grewsome pictures of bodies on top of each other and all that terrible scary stuff they did to basically like I said, scare us and make us obey now you know this is not a junkie disease I can tell. I am so sorry for your loss. I am very involved in fentanyl awareness and harm reduction and I am beside myself because I cannot get our superintendent to let us into the schools to educate the kids high schoolers and middle schoolers. Need to have it done in the school where they will come to it. I wouldn’t do it myself, nor would I involve law-enforcement. However, I do have a lot of people around the country that I could just have come and hand it to the superintendent on a silver platter to the superintendent. All I need is access to the school, the gym, and he won’t do it even worse is that our mayor does not even know what Narcan is nor fentanyl. That’s absolutely unacceptable! We as adults have the obligationto at least make these kids aware and educate them because this is not OK I am livid and I’m gonna keep trying, but somebody should have more power. Even the school board didn’t care I won’t stop. This is too bad too rough too serious.😢

Thank you Kevin. I am one voice in the Moms Stop The Harm team and collectively we can make a difference.

Thank you and so sorry to hear that you too have lost a child. So preventable and so much needs to change.
Thank you for sharing your story and your cause, Petra.

Thank you so much for Petra for sharing this painful experience. You have touched on many things I have learned about since my own Jenny's death.
For all of us who have lost a child this way, there are common stories, and so many common way where it could have been different.
Thank you Petra
Thank you for checking it out and your comment

Everything you spoke of resonated with me...thank you.
Thank you for listening. It was not easy to share Danny's story, but I am glad it resonated with you and others.
I’ve been needing to hear this. Thank you ❤️
I had a brother named Danny. He passed away from opioids. I wish I knew of naloxone. I found out too late
I am so sorry that you too lost a Danny

Nice but still waiting for TED to step up and talk
He took the night off :)
Petra Schulz hmm understandable
Death by politics, not by drugs.
I agree!
Sad but true
