Lost my husband to Parkinson’s disease last December. We had been married 58 years - soooo many triggers…. I miss him so much. The first few months I felt like I was drowning. Lo, these five months later, I’m beginning to feel alive again - barely. Also lost two grandsons and two great grandsons since September 2019. Tragic loss beyond words …
I'm sorry for your loss. I also lost my husband in 2017. It never gets easier

Omgoodness- that is a huge amount of loss within just a few very short years. I’m so sorry; thank you for sharing your story.
❤️🙏❤️

This randomly popped up and I’m crying. I lost my mom to alcoholism last June 22nd. She wasn’t always the way she was the last few years.. and we had no idea she was even sick and dying. Her boyfriend never contacted us.. a police officer was at my baby brothers door (he was 21, my sister is 24 and married so her last name is now different, and I’m across the country because my husband is in the military) to tell him and he was all alone. It’s completely broken us kids. I’m still shocked she won’t get to know my son, she watched me go through 12 surgeries and chemotherapy and now he’ll never know her.. it’s tragic. All that’s left are her ashes. I worry about her soul every day.. I pray she’s at peace. The pain is debilitating.

Oh my gosh, this killed me. I am SO SORRY Amy. I am 36, and my mommy is my whole world. She is the sweetest most nurturing person. But after my brother was murdered, she became an alcoholic in her pain. Her health is so bad, and she is so selfless so she tells nobody of what she's going through so that she does not "burden" us. Your reality right now is my biggest fear. 😢 Every time my brother calls me, my heart drops because I fear it's just a matter of time before it is THAT call. I can't even fathom the pain you and your siblings are experiencing, I am so sorry. But one thing I do know, is those countless stories of people who briefly died and what they felt and what they experienced in those moments on the other side, and it was nothing but the most absolute beautiful peace that an earthly person could never imagine feeling. They didn't even want to return to their body here because it was such an unbelievable feeling of peace and happiness, of completely forgetting or unlearning pain and sadness, as there was literally no such thing in that moment. So please know your Mama immediately entered into the most beautiful surreal paradise with the utmost serene peace in her heart and soul, and she would have NEVER left you willingly. I will keep you in my heart and my payers on this awful unbearable journey you were forced into. I am so sorry for your heartbreak and loss.❤
Please pray for my son Geno who is battling addiction to Fentanyl. Please. God Bless all who are struggling or the families dealing with it.
Lord please help this young man 😔😢🙏🙏
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I just buried my son Brendan 26 Monday. We’re waiting for the toxicology report but in my heart I know it was fentanyl poisoning. He was my baby boy and I never understood the pain and sorrow these parents were going through until May 1st 2024 when I couldn’t wake my son up. I’m beyond shattered 💔.
Very sorry.
No words😢😢 just prayers 🙏🙏
I'm so sorry
Lifting you and your family up in prayer 🙌🏼💞
My heart goes out to you I pray the Lord touch you with His endless Love ❤️
I pray HE comfort your hurt ... Be encouraged His grace is sufficient❤
My condolences
She's brilliant. Her message is helpful for anyone who has experienced a death of a loved one. Fentanyl or not. Without great love grief does not exist is a great thing to remember. And also to be kind to yourself while going through YOUR grief because people experience it differently indeed. Thank you Texas Pictures for this wonderful message to us all.
🤗
This is so true for any loss of a loved one. Thank you. I honor my Grandma every day when I look at my daughter who is named after her.
🙏❤️🙏
Grace and healing to all that have lost a loved one to addiction and fentanyl poisoning ❤
Lost my son 4/28/24. Forever 34
Forever brokenhearted 💔
@@sarahthebeach I lost a sister, a brother in law, and way too many friends unfortunately.
I lost two brothers within two months, I find strength in the Lord.
❤ Thank you for this! This is every bit of how I have felt and feel. My 25 year old son, Mason passed from fentanyl poisoning Nov 2022. It still doesn't seem real. 😢 I just continue to hold on to God's hand. Until I see him again. Thank you Texas Pictures Documentary for posting and having this channel. I can relate and feel the pain of every parent.
Hugs 🫂 to you. ❤
This is one of the sanest, most concise reflections of loss & grief that I have ever come across. Your advice is so on point.
I’m 8 yrs a widow, my husband died at 49, & I believe that there is no timeline to “getting over” a loss just the courage to keep going; moving thru the pain of the love lost & trying to keep an open heart that will sustain joy again.
This channel is doing such great work. I thank each & everyone of you for your bravery & courage to share. Nothing but love for you all & your departed love ones that you honour here. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your comments.
❤
Waooooo, she is amazing!
Thanks, because this also helps with people who we've lost not only because of "fentanyl" but also different tragic losses.
Thanks Texas Pictures Documentaries, God bless you always Glen. 🙏
She too is in Clear Lake. She’ll also be delivering the sermon at Clearpoint Church on bw8 tomorrow. 😉
Wow.
Excellent.Video.💖
Thank you - I’m on a ‘break’ from all my friends that make me feel that way. I lost my 35 ur old son - complications of severe alcoholism 10 months ago. Trying to take care of myself - trying to sit in it . There is a stigma - not for me although he was estranged for 2 years with his new wife - all fine then one day severed contact. The first call we go was to tell us he was in icu with multiple organ failure - we went as fast as we could - already intubated - had one hour - his eyes taped closed and heavily medicated. He passed the next morning. His sister and I feel the look when you tell people - it’s interesting because of his age for a while - all so horribly sad. I’m sharing this with my husband who wasn’t his father and knew him during the good times - it’s helpful to everyone 💕
What a warm,loving lady .
It is always very sad to see a new Texas Pictures story. I am so sorry for anyone who appears on this channel.
This message has hope 😏
it took me 3 years to believe that Ernie died. I still have a hard time accepting it. I have been living day to day ever since. I don’t worry about money anymore, nothing compares to losing Ernie. Not only has it changed my brain, and my life, but it’s also changed the world we live in.
I lost my youngest sister coming on 4 years to suicide it tore me and my family apart we were all just starting to get our lives just some bit back to normality and then 1 month ago I’ve just lost my oldest brother and my best best friend in this world to an opioid overdose and I really don’t know how I’m going to get through this second traumatic loss life is so cruel 😢
❤

Loss is different for everyone, grief as well, however those of us experiencing this pain, it's hard to verbalize my pain..
Condolences and healing @chewie2055
I’m sorry for your deep and tragic loss.
Praying for you and sending you a warm hug-human to human.
I love your video and you almost make me feel ok but the truth is different, maybe I wanted it to believe it but I can’t. I am hurting so much, I hope that pain wins and take me away
Keep talking to people. Sharing brings healing. Really. You can do this.
I lost my son March 11, 2023 I'm in a angry stage so I'm taking a boxing class cause I needed to hit something. Grief is so exhausting and painful I hope I make it through.
@@patquaid9968you're going to make it ❤be encouraged❤ I'm rooting for you
My best friend is dying in hospice from cancer, she is so brave and I'm a complete mess, she told me yesterday she is ready, I'm so sad, I've been crying so much, does anybody here have advice for me how to deal with this ? Please help😢💔💔💔
Talk to people. Share. Very sorry for what you’re experiencing.
@@TexasPictures Thank you , I love your channel, you are trying to save lives and get the truth out. 🙏❤️
Keep naloxone in your house just in case.
That statement, get over it, is so absolutely ignorant and lacking empathy, these people are cold and couldn't ever comprehend how devastating this is to a family etc. There's never getting over this type of emotional pain. These people endure an eternity of pain that may dull with time.
