LOSING YOUR HUSBAND AND SON WITHIN 5 HOURS OF EACH OTHER IS ABSOLUTELY INCOMPREHENSIBLE...IM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS...😢
Yes this drug is so dangerous. On another video on this channel a father tells story of both of his sons overdosing ans dying from fentynal on same day 😢
@@kimberlysmith7311 Oh my word! Do you remember the name or video number?
I am so deeply saddened by the loss of your husband and son. They are resting in peace. Their spirits are free and transformed.
My sincerest condolences to you and your families 🙏
Completely incomprehensible 😢💔
She also lost her daughter 10 years ago to
I can't imagine your pain, losing your husband and son on the same day. I lost my son November-15-2023, from fentanyl poisoning. The pain is just unbearable. I will pray for you and your family to find peace. 🙏 😢
Hugs 🫂 ❤
So sorry for your loss. Love and blessings from Dublin, Ireland ❤
My doctor prescribed pain meds for my migraines as well and that’s how my addiction started. ODd on Fentanyl a little over 3 years ago and thankfully haven’t touched it since… i can’t imagine what you went/are going through.
Congratulations!!!! Getting clean is not easy!!
@@amylynnnich607thanks love! ❤
As a mom of 5 kids and 5 grandkids this is every moms worse nightmare. I pray that people will wake up to the fact that taking drugs is like putting a loaded gun in your mouth and hoping there’s no bullets in it . Gods given you all so much strength and I’m so thankful that you are speaking about this to raise awareness. God Bless you all❤🙏🏻
Wow. To lose a husband and son is hard but in the same day? My deepest condolences to you and your family.
It’s harder because she will also remember losing her daughter 10 years ago to so all those 3 together
Ms. Subia, You, Ma'am...are the definition of strength! My very deepest sympathy, and condolences to you and your family. I am so sorry for all your loses. I can't even fathom what you have gone through. A Daughter, A Husband, and A Son, and 2 on the same day. You are a strong, courageous woman, and I can only pray for a fraction of you courage and strength when I need it most. I pray you find peace, and I wish you all the best with little Ace. May the Lord keep you close. 🙏💔😢💖🌹
A week is absolutely not long enough for fentanyl addiction treatment!! So sad. I'm sorry for your loss.
Everytime I watch an episode my heart breaks a little more. 😢 God bless all the victims of this dreaded disease❤🙏🏻
We also have a series of addiction recovery stories that you might find interesting. Here's a link to the playlist:

I feel like my generation glamorized casual drug use and pills. These young people are growing up with a false sense of safety. I remember class mates with pills and weed and engaging in dangerous risky behaviours and now we are in our 40s with no lasting consequences. These young people are faced with one pill can kill and getting addicted to these chemical monster drugs.
My condolences to this dear family. Thanks for sharing your story
Oh my word, this poor mother. Bless her soul for surviving and sharing her story. May her grandchildren bring her solace. ❤❤❤❤
Another mom, girlfriend ,son, and brother are so sad and missing this young man. So heartbreaking. Everyone should have Naloxone (me too- and today I don't) in their possession. Pass it to the people you love and you may help save a life.
You are so right in that fact. Everyone should have the antidote to this killer drug. The sad thing about my son is they had just started giving Narcan at pharmacy’s in 2017 when I lost my son Anthony. He said he wasn’t doing H (his turned out to be all Fentanyl) or anything anymore. He may have relapsed. It’s a different world out there now. No longer to be trusted. No one should be trusted. God Bless the parent who lose their child🙏🏼😢
18:57 I cannot fathom the pain you have gone through sooooo much pain. You are one of the strongest woman I have come across I My entire life.
To this day, every time one of these videos comes up on my feed I say “oh no, not another one 😢.”
I appreciate all the families who have shared the most devastating story of their lives. I use your stories to educate my 20 yr old son and the youth I work with.
I don’t like saying “sorry” for your loss, because the word seems so meaningless in these situations. But, I am so sorry you lost Alex to this awful epidemic 😢 Sending you both and your family lots of hugs 🤗 healing ❤️🩹 and prayers. Thank you for sharing Alex’s story 🫶🏽
I’m half way through your story and I did not at all expect your story to take the turn it took, losing your husband and then 5 hrs later your son 😢 My sincere condolences 💐
These stories need to be told. It must be so hard for the families. Your sharing your story will help save lives. God bless. 🕊️🙏❤️
My heart truly breaks for Ms. Yolanda and his family especially Ace! Life is so unpredictable, so unfair; God's love and grace is the only healing we have!
Sorry for your losses. I lost my youngest son (33) in 2017 from Fentanyl. I know somewhat how you must find each day without your beautiful son and husband very difficult. Please keep pushing on dear I’ll be praying for you🙏🏼❤💜
This story was so wrenching! I'm so sorry for this family experiencing such loss, all at once. Thanks for sharing your story so others may benefit.
He looks like such a nice soul. May he be resting in the wings of Jesus being comforted and welcomed home. Sending all his family loving, healing thoughts. Love from Australia xx
I cannot imagine this level of pain.
I cried like a baby listening to his mother speak. Losing your husband and son on the same day after losing your daughter a few years before. You are an amazing woman and I hope that you heal and the depression ends. I have experienced loss, not with a child or spouse, so I know time doesn't heal all wounds, however, I pray that you learn to live with the loss. You are truly an angel for sharing your story. Praying that God continues to give you peace and healing
The hardest thing in life is being told that a spouse, family members have passed away.
So sorry. For all this
Most of these stories begin with a visit to a doctor who prescribes dangerous addictive pain medication. The American Medical Association and Big Pharma need to be made accountable for the opioid crisis in the United States.
My heart is truly broken for this family and every other family i watch on this channel. I pray that they will find comfort and peace through their memories of their loved ones. 🇮🇪❤️☘️
I am so sorry 😢 losing 2 loved one the same day has to be just heartbreaking. Please, stay strong, my lady. Hugs ❤
Chemical warfare, 200 people per day…
global resource management.
Unbelievably heartbreaking....
My cousin Alex ❤️ i miss you so much , I wish it was a bad dream I can’t believe it’s almost been 2 years already 😔
I am so very sorry. I am praying for you and your family.
This is like the story of Job in yh4 Bible. The fortitude Yolanda has is amazing. I am broken listening to it. Sending prayers and compassion. ❤
That is the first thing I thought about also, was Job! 🙏💖🌹
I'm so sorry for your loss of both of Alex and your husband as well! Know the pain the losing loved ones so close. My brother committed suicide December 16, 2008. My mom died June 16 th 2009. And my dad dad died on my birthday October 20th.
Sending you ❤, strength and healing energy.
Sending u ❤ may God be with you 💯🥰😘
Hugs to you☀️🌼
Geesh!! What gives u the strength??? Do u believe in god??!
This is tragic. So sorry for your loss. Hope you find comfort ❤
My prayers are with this mother.. losing your husband and son… my heart hurts for you 🥀
I am so sorry for your tragedy. No one should have to live a life with this kind of suffering. The least I can do is pray for you everyday. No one is more deserving. God bless you and your family.
Dear Elidia not being able to share the news of your son"s death easily. Thank you for your honesty 🙏
You can see the numbness in Yolanda still and the nervous laugh of Elidia. So unbelievably sad for both these women. And little Ace growing up without a Dad. So tragic. What is surprising to me, having also lost friends to Fentanyl, is that Alex bought it on purpose and knew what he was buying and addicted to. My friends did not and thought they were consuming something else but it was tainted. This current government has been an epic fail on many levels and Fentanyl awareness is just one. I'm praying for RFK to be elected to fix this mess in America this year. God bless your grieving family. Thank you Texas Pictures for all you do.
Thank you for your comments.
This mess was already going on since Trump as President so therefore blaming this government is like to be hypocrite!
Going on since before Trump. The cdc first alerted to the increasing presence of fentanyl in street drugs in 2013.
RIP Alex . Condolences to the family. Thank you for sharing your heartbreaking 💔 story with us.
Poor child. This hurts so many family members, not just the victim. These women have so much inner strength to come forward to help others. God Bless everyone involved.
My family and I will be praying for you mam, you have our sincerest condolences.
I’m so very sorry for the loss of them both. I’m praying for your peace.
Smh. My heart breaks for you and your family. I can't imagine the pain your grandbaby is feeling as well. He lost his grandpa and his dad on the same day. I am so sorry all of this happened. Thank you sharing such an emotional story. So very sorry for your loss.😢💔
My sincere condolences for the losses your family has been through.
My 2 youngest sisters passed 1 1/2 years apart. Fentanyl and Heroin took them both.
My hope is there will be more attention paid to this epidemic. I'm so very sorry.
This is absolutely heartbreaking 🥺 I cant tell you how sorry I am. Such a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your story. Know that you are helping someone. I pray for comfort and peace for your family.
Thank you to the family for sharing your incredibly painful story. Sincere condolences for your loss. Blessings to your family.🥰🫶🏻💝
RIP Jose and Dad!🙏🙏🙏
Prayers for your Mum and all who love you!
RIP Dad 🙏
All these stories are super hard to listen to but this story is the hardest. Daughter and husband to cancer and a son to fentanyl. This is just too much. May god give the survivors peace and strength.
Recent studies show opiates are completely ineffective for migraines, and especially dangerous in a young person. Heartbreaking and could happen to any of our children.
My heart is just broken for this family! I am praying for you!!
I hear that he wanted to make his Mum proud, I hear he wanted to make his son proud and they are all great attributes to want to achieve, its just a shame that the drugs got to him before his sobriety did.
Omg. This is mind blowing. I have chills up and down my spine listening to his mom and girlfriend speak. I am soooo sorry 😢
I week in rehab is not at all long enough.
There are no words… Sending prayers for peace. 🙏🏻😢
Sending heart felt condolences... This hit hard. Thank you for your bravery sharing your experience with Fentanyl poisoning and dealing with so much loss. ❤
What an incredibly sad story. You both lost a very good person. I hope you can find solace in that he is in Heaven with his step father.
This pain is unbearable just hearing it. God please 🙏🏽 help these families with their grief and comfort them bc it’s hard with losing 1 family member but 2 is absolutely horrific. I’m praying for you all and for those suffering and their families. God please 🙏🏽 look over us !! ❤
I’m so very sorry, that’s unbelievable,both in one day. Stay strong, you are loved
All of you are in my prayers. I sincerely wish God's blessings to be bestowed upon each of you. Y'all have been through incredible grief that most couldn't bare. I commend you for sharing your stories and hope people are listening. This drug is no joke and every time I listen to one of these stories, if it helps just one person then you have done your job. Thank both of you for sharing, I know this wasn't easy. So sorry for all your losses, your strength is commendable. God bless all of you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💞
Thank you so much for sharing your painful story to teach everyone the dangers of Fentanyl. I am so sorry that your family had to experience this.
My prayers and condolences go out to you and your family. I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband and your son. Please be gentle with yourself and take care.
i CANNOT imagine ! i am so sorry. oh my god. may both of your men rest in peace.
Breaks my heart for this family.
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry to hear this about your husband and son. I pray for complete healing over your family. Praying for his son! May God protect you all and give you comfort during this hardship. Thank you for sharing your story. 🙏🏻😥
Sending your family thoughts of strength and peace. I'm so so sorry for your loss.
Along with all of the other posters, this one hit hard. I am heartbroken for you two ladies. Dear Momma I’m so sorry you lost your love & your baby boy on the same day. And to his lovely girlfriend, I’m so sorry you had to see pain in your young sons eyes, telling him of his Dads passing..This is so very tragic. I retired out of our local ER, and this had started to become a issue then in 2005!!
This is not new! These young people are looking for peace in a tough world, not a death sentence. Our governments need to do more than they are doing, they are fully aware on the daily what’s happening, and yet another family has to endure pain this way.. Cmon the powers that be…STOP THE TRAIN NOW! I hope this family finds peace & grace for each other as their hearts start to heal in anyway💔😢
This dear woman has suffered so much with the loss of her family members. 💔😢. Her daughter passed away 10 years ago from cancer then her husband and son on the same day?!’ No wonder she has depression. I feel so sad for her. It’s like…universe…back it up already. Do not continue to dish out heartbreak to her. She has already suffered immeasurable loss in this lifetime. When can she find peace? How absolutely heartbreaking 💔 Give it to God. When the load becomes too much, give it to God. God and our Savior Jesus Christ will bring her peace. ✝️🙏💛
My heart felt sympathy, condolences and prayers go out for you and your family ❤ I am so sorry ❤
I pray for Yolanda the baby and his girl God this mom has been through so much. I pray God gets her through this.
Oh no, not another!... Then I think: there could be 200 of these each day! We MUST do something!!!!!
Yolanda and Elidia - I am so very sorry!! Alex was beautiful. Reminds me of my son.💜
🙏 I wish you both nothing but goodness for the rest of your lives. ❤ From Michigan.
Any doctor prescribing opiates to a 7th/8th grader should be struck off! Shame on them!!
Not sure about historically but where I live now in the UK, if you join a new drs practice and already take benzos and/or heavy duty painkillers, they will taper you off them & not newly prescribe to anyone. I guess if you are paying, they will prescribe whatever their drug reps have given them the best deal on & how much insurance they can claim? My heart breaks for this lovely family 💔
My heart breaks for this family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story.
Omg, to lose your husband and son just hours apart 💔
Oh poor lady I cannot imagine what she went thru.
I am so sorry that you have to endure such losses.
Thank you for sharing your story❤️🙏♥️✨️
This woman strong losing two love ones the same day nothing but the grace of God keeping her strong my condolences to this amazing lady and family friends my ❤ go's out to all of you
I don't understand how the doctor prescribed PAIN MEDS for a migraine!!! There are other migraine meds out there that are FOR MIGRAINES that are not addictive! Also, a change in diet, eating a spoon of mustard. Lying down, changing lifestyle. The lights at my job would give me migraines. Special shades, anything but addictive pain pills!!!😠😡🤬! Iam so sorry for this momma losing so many of her loved ones. Hold on the God's unchanging hands 🙏🏿
This. I was stunned when she said the doctor prescribed what was likely her 12-13 year old son pain meds for migraines. Outrageous. My nephew had migraines at that age and his doctor recommended diet change etc. and ultimately didn’t have to prescribe the migraine meds at all because the lifestyle changes resolved the issue. So unfortunate what happened to this young man. It’s nearly impossible for addicts who’ve become addicted at such a young age to beat their addiction. So sad because it sounded like he desperately wanted to get clean but couldn’t sustain it when he did manage to stop using. RIP to him. Condolences to his family. 😔
sorry for your losses of both of your family members........
OMG.. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. Many prayers to this family!
So much compassion for him I know he tried so hard to
I am so sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing this specific story. I'm 48, and when I was 18-25, I could have easily been in the friend group of Alex ... but times back then, even us dumb kids had the opportunity to be stupid, and not have it result in us getting 100% addicted or die. Thankfully, I've moved on, but I do have a heart for the many, many young men that are in the same situations with much greater risk. You ladies are SO STRONG, and very effective communicators of a tragic and personal story. Keep up the work. Your story will save people.
I'm so sorry.
I totally agree,
I had cancer and got hooked on pain meds for 8 years been opioid free 16 years
This drug was not out in the open back 25 years ago. It was only available in the emergency room. How times changed.
I'm so sorry for all of this
Yes, withdrawal is like 1,000 worse then the worst flue you have ever had.
