I am in recovery from an opioid addiction. These stories keep me thankful, grateful and motivated for my future.(do not mean in a malicious way) By the grace of God it’s been 4 years now♥️🙏🏽 My deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones. I have lost many too 💔🥺
Same… 11 years now. Fentanyl wasn’t everywhere or even a thing when I quit OxyContins… it’s so much more dangerous now. These stories remind me how had I not quit… this could’ve been me. Heck it could’ve been me just with the amounts I was taking without Fety being introduced
I live in the same area as Nichole when she passed. I have a 21 year old son. I tell him all the time about the dangers of fentanyl. I know it’s everywhere. I’m so very sorry about the passing of your daughter. 💔
Thank you for your brutal honesty. I have lost my 19 yr old stepson Sullivan (Sully) to this and now my almost 24 yr old son Geno has struggled with addiction. Geno just got out of rehab. I don't understand why this is being treated as a Weapon of Mass Destruction!!! They did NOTHING for Sullivan. The stigma and shame keep so many families from talking about this which only makes the problem worse. God Bless you and I am so very sorry for your profound loss and the way you were informed (very late) and treated by the police department. God Bless you. You are a wonderful father. It sadly seems that unless the parents are influential or millionaires, there is no Justice to be had. God will give us that Justice one day. Nichole was beautiful and she reminds me of my son and she will be remembered.
So sorry for your loss. Thank you for your willingness to help others by telling Nichole's story. So many are hurting over this fentanyl epidemic. May you find comfort in knowing that you were a good father to her.
Mr. Zimmerman, firstly I'm so sorry for your loss... I am a 36 yr old woman that suffered through substance use disorder from the age of 18-28 & hearing your testimony of your daughters life and death brought me to tears because it opened my eyes so much more to what I put my own father through and the fact that I very well could've not made it out alive 💔 my father loved me so dearly just as you loved Nichole & I can tell you that when you said if this story can touch just one person it makes a difference you're so right... it makes a huge impact on so many of us who are actively suffering as well as those of us who have made it out alive, it's a reminder of what a gift this life is and the huge pain substance use disorder causes to not only us but everyone around us 🙏🏼🤍 sending you prayers for peace and comfort in your grief, thank you for sharing your experience with fentanyl poisoning
Dear Mr. Zimmerman: Thank you for sharing your story. My son was 28 and died from fentanyl in Lake Worth, FL, Palm Beach County, in a filthy sober home that he was sent to by his rehab program. It was just a flop house. My son graduated from college with a chemistry degree. The police lied and said nothing was found at the scene. They threw out everything. However, I got the 60 crime scene photos which depicted the drug and the paraphernalia. They refused to investigate. I looked in his phone and found the number of the last person he talked to at 3 a.m. that day. An hour before he died. Obviously that was the dealer. I was able to find out his name and gave it to the police. They refused to return my calls or question the person. I know who it is and where he lives. Palm Beach county officials are useless. I wrote to the atty general Pam Biondi, but got no response. In NJ where we live the police and prosecutors vigorously investigate and prosecute such crimes, but unfortunately, we sent our son to FL. We had no idea of the situation down there. I am sorry for your loss and the trouble you are having now with the litigation about your grandson. Your pictures should be useful in court as well as your advocacy. Our government is useless and all the greedy politicians. We may as well live in a third world country. So much corruption.
The part after 32:05 really hit me... the words of the father, the music, and then the video of the two young parents who are now deceased and the little toddler who has to live his whole life without his biological parents
Very hard to watch could even be triggering, BUT us watching, sharing info the videos stop brings awareness to these loved ones along with family and friends. And as it should be, we should be the voice of their awareness. Sadly rugs ain't going nowhere.. put a d in front of the r.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will pray for an equitable outcome regarding your grandson's life. I do hope you are able to be an active person in his life. I know you would be a loving grandfather to this baby. I watch these programs because my cousin lost his daughter to fentanyl almost two years ago. I knew her her entire life. It is hard to believe she is gone, still.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your grandson has lost both his parents. I appreciate you being strong and sharing your family's story. My friend and her husband died from substances a month apart.
Coming of age in the 60s we thought we were prepared to deal with drug use in our children but this is a different monster. I don't know one family today that is not affected by drug use. This is a tragedy of unimaginable proportions 😢
I am 56, an 80s kid. Remembering the drugs we had back then thinking nothing could be as dangerous as heroine, acid or pcp. I wasn’t a user, I never tried anything except once someone asked if I wanted something called “locker room”, it just made you dizzy for a minute. That was my one and only time I got curious. A beer every now and then for me was ok, I didn’t like how I felt the next day though. my brother was and still is an addict, it tore my family apart. I never thought for a moment that there would be a drug so lethal and nasty as fentanyl, never. I wish there was a magic wand to get rid of it. What’s happening to our kids is horrible and sad.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Rest in Heavenly Peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ Her baby boy is so beautiful and blessed to have you around. Your story will always inspire us all. My deepest condolences. 💐
Dear Christopher, I'm so sorry for your loss of your beautiful Nichole. You are absolutely right as far as if there were bullet holes or stand wounds.... Eye opening statement. Until the police start treating these as murders, it will continue to be shoved under the carpet. My heart breaks for you and your family.
Christopher, I’m 10 years older than Nichole but there’s some striking similarities between our stories, so this one hit me hard. I’ve watched all of these Fentanyl series stories as a reminder that I have to keep fighting. My son was born only one month after Nichole’s. It is not fair that fentanyl is in the modern drug supply, I probably would have passed as a young adult if I was Nichole’s age. I know the government moves slowly and with no regard for the power they have and could have. I’ve worked in local government, I hate the cop attitude that if the DA won’t file charges , why bother investigating. They need to understand that they are at work 40 hours a week whether the DA files charges or not. The management/administration needs an attitude adjustment because reaching leadership is the only way that agency culture is changed. I hope that by the time my son and your grandson hit puberty that drug-induced homicide laws will be on the books in every state, and that PDs will be taking this very seriously. All lives are important. Keep fighting and so will I. You are making a difference. Fentanyl victims will be what MADD was in the 90s. God bless
Thank you for sharing your story with us! I anticipate it was difficult each day. For all the people whose world you bring brightness to by being here each day, I thank you!
There's no such thing as having drugs "under control". I've seen so many of these videos and a few of these families have to let their loved one who they've lost have some accountability. Although someone may have sold them fentanyl, a lot of these kids were already indulging in drugs.
God bless him and his family. I'm glad he mentioned the baby at least being alive and well at the end of the vid. Even if the family is fighting over custody, I'm glad the baby is safe. He's so precious. Condolences for the loss of the parents. They must have both been depressed. The holidays play with people's minds. It's a depressing time for many. May God love and keep them both...including that little baby. May he go to the very best home within the family and have love and a solid upbringing.
Christopher, Thank you for sharing Nicole's story, and yours. Nicole's life is important, even though it may not seem that way due to how the police handled her poisoning. I know it must be extremely frustrating, not having any justice for your daughter. I'm a parent too, and I can't even imagine the heartache of losing a child, and knowing she was murdered, and the police won't even investigate. It is the stigma around drug use and addiction that continues to interfere with people getting the treatment they need when they are addicted, and the justice they deserve if they die from Fentanyl poisoning. It's insane to me how in the society we live in today, we are pushed to accept so many things, but seeing addicts as people that are sick and need help isn't one of them. No one ever says they want to be an addict. Even if you are an occasional user, you don't use to die. I was an addict for around 10 years, and my addiction started with prescription pain pills that were prescribed to me. I have 6 years clean now. I feel for you, and I truly hope things start to change. With all my love ❤❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers to both families. The child is not a pawn. May he be placed in the care of those who can love, nurture and ensure he knows the full story of his parents, not just their death.🙏🏾
It's clear how hard it was for you to make this video. I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful daughter and your grandson lost both of his parents. Thank you for telling Nichole's story. May God bless you for trying to make a difference.
I’m so sorry for your loss. You so eloquently honored your daughter in every way. I wonder what good could come of this Fentanyl epidemic? Hearing you talk about your daughter and grandson and the actions you took to help her - that little boy belongs with you. IMO.
Apparently there were other people in the house because he said they were checked on after they took the drugs and they were in weird positions but whoever checked on them said they sounded like they were snoring, so they left them alone (sounds SUPER suspicious to me). I don't know if the others in the house were watching the baby or what, or if he was even there. Such a sad story.
That’s what I was thinking. Where was the baby this whole time? Was he at a babysitter’s house? They surely wouldn’t do drugs with the baby there would they? And as new parents wouldn’t they consider the possibility of fentanyl being mixed with whatever drug they were taking? So sad such a beautiful baby boy to lose both parents and especially at such a young age.
From his timeline it seems that he heard from his daughter on Dec. 28th, she and her boyfriend died on the 29th and his ex-wife's relative Facebook Messaged him on New Year's Eve.
Heartbreakingly sad fot this dad who has the courage to share about the loss of his beautiful daughter. These stories touch my soul and I will keep your family in my prayers 🙏
Sir, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. What’s happening to our kids is absolutely devastating. It hurts to the core. My deepest condolences to you and your family.🙏🙏🙏
I'm so sorry this happened to your family and that you lost your daughter to this. Thank you for sharing your story. Your family is in my prayers 🙏 Fly high Nicole 🕊
I appreciate hearing the background about what lead the victims down their path of experimentation and use. I hope any parent that is in the separation process or newly separated can also take from this how important it is to give the children of divorce the chance to process and grieve the loss of their family unit as they knew it and really prioritize giving them extra attention and time before beginning a new relationship. Psychologists recommend 1 year before introducing a new partner and go SLOW, watching for signs of acting out or changes in behavior that indicate the child needs more time. Most at the time don’t understand how important this is for the child. Such a tragedy is not a parent “fault” but possibly something that handled differently could have made a difference how the child was impacted by that trauma.
This was the most horrific story I have ever heard! Terribly sad that two young people were taken together! So sad, and such a brave father for being able to share your beautiful daughter's story. Its just too dangerous to dabble with drugs, with fentanyl added to almost anything. The dealers/cartels do this because they know how addictive fentanyl/opiates are, and its all about profit. They dont care how many loved ones are lost along the way, absolutely devastating family after family. I too regret all the anguish I put my parents through, trying to understand why these drugs had such a hold over me. Drugs rewire your brain, and make you think that you need them to function on a daily basis. Kids, its not worth trying that first pill or powder. The only thing you are missing is an incredible struggle ahead of you, to get your life back. And in many cases like this, there is no coming back at all. People that use drugs are idiots, and not your friends. They are miserable and want to pull you in to this life, like its exciting and glamorous. It is not. Please, just say no, and walk away.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are a good dad. Your point of of different LE agencies handling it different is what I have noticed too. In a rural community in Iowa there were 9 deaths and LE called it suicide. People get charged for poisoning wildlife but nothing if you poison a human.
Im so so sorry for the loss of your daughter and her boyfriend, it breaks my heart to the core, its so scary thinking this could happen to one of my daughters, and its scary so many beautiful, and wonderful people are dying everyday from addiction and from fentynol...i pray you get your grandson, or are able to be apart of his life always, he will be blessed to have such a loving grandpa in his life. Thank u for you sharing your story.
I‘m so sorry for your loss Sir 😔 But I do have a question: Where was the baby when the parents were discovered? Please don’t tell me that they passed away and their baby was in the room with them… 😳😔 Tbh there should be an agency nationwide investigating, like the FBI or DEA, but only specifically targeting the Fentanyl cases which weren’t investigated or prosecuted. Yes, the DEA should do that but I bet they wouldn’t like the idea and saying stuff like „We don’t have enough people for that“… 🤷🏻♂️ And I have an answer for that: „Then hire people“ 🤬 So sad to see these videos of those two parents with their baby boy, knowing that he never will know his parents 😢
I loved seeing the video of your precious daughter. As a bereaved parent myself I feel so much compassion for you and the incredible devastation of this loss. Thank God you have your grandson. Truly if it wasn’t for my granddaughter I don’t know if I could survive this. Wishing you and your family peace and healing.
I’m so sorry for your losses, Christopher. When you said you thought your daughter’s problems were in the past and she was becoming a more mature person, I could completely relate. The same thing happened with my son before he died. It seemed like his troubled past was behind him. And, then he took his life. I was caught completely off guard too. Sending you hugs from AZ!
I Am Soooo Very Sorry For Your Loss . Thank~You For Sharing Your Story On Your Beautiful Daughter. Agreed It Is Not An Accidental Overdose But Murder !!!
It will take years of court proceedings to determine who will gain permanent custody. It’s usually the maternal grandmother unless another family member has more money for attorney fees to fight it. Just terrible.
I really feel so sad about how easy these deaths are minimised and downgraded to an overdose. It is no wonder parents have such complex grief. I can't even imagine the pain of such a lack of a comprehensive investigation. So sorry for your loss and I hope you get to have regular visitation with your special grandson ❤
Sad as Shiet!!! My daughter's have to deal with Dad gone, trust me me doing everything alone is never easy! My youngest was 3 years old when her father offed himself in our kitchen. I know that is blunt but you can't sugarcoat it. Imagine taking your youngest to the grave every holiday. Hey Mom, etc ... Now you got to sit here and paint the picture of what her father was. Stop it truly breaks my heart but nothing I can't control, it took me a long time to forgive him but I had to to move on. My daughter's keep me alive literally. And I will never love another man again. I choose that.
May i first say I'm so very sorry for your loss.I lost my second daughter March 27 2022 to FENTYNAL POISONING i sure feel you're pain.You are right about NO ONE in the Justice System cares about this so many have died because of this POISON. I often wonder how a Senator or a higher level up politician would feel or do if one of they're own became a statistic FENTYNAL POISONING doesn't discriminate this could happen to anyone.May you find peace during you're grieving i know my daughter's death changed me for the rest of my life. Feeling Broken 😢💔
Lost a great friend and boyfriend to a Fentynal overdose. I had no idea about it. Took 6 months to find out his cause of death, I had to call them over and pver
I am in recovery from an opioid addiction. These stories keep me thankful, grateful and motivated for my future.(do not mean in a malicious way) By the grace of God it’s been 4 years now♥️🙏🏽 My deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones. I have lost many too 💔🥺
I'm so happy for you 🎉🎉🎉🎉
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you God, for her beeing clean! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 👍🏆🏆🏆🏆
Hang in there we do recover. Find a hobby to focus on instead.
Has helped many. ❤❤
I hope you keep going girl.. you are worthy and Jesus loves you
Same… 11 years now. Fentanyl wasn’t everywhere or even a thing when I quit OxyContins… it’s so much more dangerous now. These stories remind me how had I not quit… this could’ve been me. Heck it could’ve been me just with the amounts I was taking without Fety being introduced

I’m so very sorry about the passing of your daughter. 💔
Dear man, you are making a difference by sharing your family’s story. Bless you.
May this brave man’s pain be lessened by sharing his important story of love…and loss
Thank you for your brutal honesty. I have lost my 19 yr old stepson Sullivan (Sully) to this and now my almost 24 yr old son Geno has struggled with addiction. Geno just got out of rehab. I don't understand why this is being treated as a Weapon of Mass Destruction!!! They did NOTHING for Sullivan. The stigma and shame keep so many families from talking about this which only makes the problem worse. God Bless you and I am so very sorry for your profound loss and the way you were informed (very late) and treated by the police department. God Bless you. You are a wonderful father. It sadly seems that unless the parents are influential or millionaires, there is no Justice to be had. God will give us that Justice one day. Nichole was beautiful and she reminds me of my son and she will be remembered.
So sorry for your loss. Thank you for your willingness to help others by telling Nichole's story. So many are hurting over this fentanyl epidemic. May you find comfort in knowing that you were a good father to her.

Dear Mr. Zimmerman: Thank you for sharing your story. My son was 28 and died from fentanyl in Lake Worth, FL, Palm Beach County, in a filthy sober home that he was sent to by his rehab program. It was just a flop house. My son graduated from college with a chemistry degree. The police lied and said nothing was found at the scene. They threw out everything. However, I got the 60 crime scene photos which depicted the drug and the paraphernalia. They refused to investigate. I looked in his phone and found the number of the last person he talked to at 3 a.m. that day. An hour before he died. Obviously that was the dealer. I was able to find out his name and gave it to the police. They refused to return my calls or question the person. I know who it is and where he lives. Palm Beach county officials are useless. I wrote to the atty general Pam Biondi, but got no response. In NJ where we live the police and prosecutors vigorously investigate and prosecute such crimes, but unfortunately, we sent our son to FL. We had no idea of the situation down there. I am sorry for your loss and the trouble you are having now with the litigation about your grandson. Your pictures should be useful in court as well as your advocacy. Our government is useless and all the greedy politicians. We may as well live in a third world country. So much corruption.
I am so sorry no one called you to let you know how cruel horrific
The part after 32:05 really hit me... the words of the father, the music, and then the video of the two young parents who are now deceased and the little toddler who has to live his whole life without his biological parents
These episodes get harder to watch, I can only imagine what these parents are enduring. Her Father is a hero too. R.I.P. dear Nichole
It is more, and more, and more.... 😱😱😱 How many years more? How many victims more??! 😱😱😱
Very hard to watch could even be triggering, BUT us watching, sharing info the videos stop brings awareness to these loved ones along with family and friends. And as it should be, we should be the voice of their awareness.
Sadly rugs ain't going nowhere.. put a d in front of the r.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will pray for an equitable outcome regarding your grandson's life. I do hope you are able to be an active person in his life.

Keep sharing your experiences please.
Thank you
Think back to when we were kids . Drugs were never good to try but at least we survived . Not today . Kids are losing their lives
Coming of age in the 60s we thought we were prepared to deal with drug use in our children but this is a different monster. I don't know one family today that is not affected by drug use. This is a tragedy of unimaginable proportions 😢
I am 56, an 80s kid.

A beer every now and then for me was ok, I didn’t like how I felt the next day though. my brother was and still is an addict, it tore my family apart.
I never thought for a moment that there would be a drug so lethal and nasty as fentanyl, never.
I wish there was a magic wand to get rid of it. What’s happening to our kids is horrible and sad.
I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Rest in Heavenly Peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Her baby boy is so beautiful and blessed to have you around. Your story will always inspire us all. My deepest condolences. 💐
MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU DAD 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥺😥
Dear Christopher, I'm so sorry for your loss of your beautiful Nichole. You are absolutely right as far as if there were bullet holes or stand wounds.... Eye opening statement.

Our society & government has become ruthless

Whew 😢 such a handsome baby boy. I pray he's in good hands.
It's really sad to hear that boy is gonna grow up without both his parents...
Thank you for sharing your story with us! I anticipate it was difficult each day. For all the people whose world you bring brightness to by being here each day, I thank you!
That poor baby boy 💔
There's no such thing as having drugs "under control". I've seen so many of these videos and a few of these families have to let their loved one who they've lost have some accountability. Although someone may have sold them fentanyl, a lot of these kids were already indulging in drugs.
There is none, if ever. I’m sure the grief contributes to it but it’s always “they didn’t want to overdose”.
God bless him and his family. I'm glad he mentioned the baby at least being alive and well at the end of the vid. Even if the family is fighting over custody, I'm glad the baby is safe. He's so precious. Condolences for the loss of the parents. They must have both been depressed. The holidays play with people's minds. It's a depressing time for many. May God love and keep them both...including that little baby. May he go to the very best home within the family and have love and a solid upbringing.
Poor little grandson.

Beautifully said❣️
I’m sorry for your loss and for the way you had to find out about this tragedy. I appreciate your telling us your story.
anybody else first thought when he finds out she overdosed...where is the baby?!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers to both families. The child is not a pawn. May he be placed in the care of those who can love, nurture and ensure he knows the full story of his parents, not just their death.🙏🏾
RIP beautiful Nichole💔
The photo at 2:20 is beyond precious❤️
Rest easy, Nicole 😢
There's a big difference between ordering coffee and getting poisoned vs buying drugs and getting poisoned
Sorry for your loss to all involved. Keep spreading awareness.
It's clear how hard it was for you to make this video. I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful daughter and your grandson lost both of his parents. Thank you for telling Nichole's story. May God bless you for trying to make a difference.
Prayers for the families ❤
So Sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your Family. R.I.P.🕊️
I’m so sorry for your loss. You so eloquently honored your daughter in every way. I wonder what good could come of this Fentanyl epidemic? Hearing you talk about your daughter and grandson and the actions you took to help her - that little boy belongs with you. IMO.
Speechless. Brutal story
So no one fed that poor baby for a few days⁉️⁉️⁉️
Apparently there were other people in the house because he said they were checked on after they took the drugs and they were in weird positions but whoever checked on them said they sounded like they were snoring, so they left them alone (sounds SUPER suspicious to me). I don't know if the others in the house were watching the baby or what, or if he was even there. Such a sad story.
Maybe someone did, and didn't call grandparents.
That’s what I was thinking. Where was the baby this whole time? Was he at a babysitter’s house? They surely wouldn’t do drugs with the baby there would they? And as new parents wouldn’t they consider the possibility of fentanyl being mixed with whatever drug they were taking? So sad such a beautiful baby boy to lose both parents and especially at such a young age.
From his timeline it seems that he heard from his daughter on Dec. 28th, she and her boyfriend died on the 29th and his ex-wife's relative Facebook Messaged him on New Year's Eve.
He said that they were found on the 28th...
Heartbreakingly sad fot this dad who has the courage to share about the loss of his beautiful daughter. These stories touch my soul and I will keep your family in my prayers 🙏
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for sharing your story
Im so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. May God bring you comfort... I'm also praying for your grandson 🙏🏿 ❤️ 🙏🏿
Sir, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. What’s happening to our kids is absolutely devastating. It hurts to the core.

These stories are incredibly sad.
I'm so sorry this happened to your family and that you lost your daughter to this. Thank you for sharing your story. Your family is in my prayers 🙏 Fly high Nicole 🕊

WTF...NO ONE TOLD YOU THAT YOUR DAUGHTER HAD DIED??? My condolences to you and your family.
Akward position ? What did he mean by that ?
I’m so,so truly sorry!!! ✝️🙏✝️
You are a good dad. Your point of of different LE agencies handling it different is what I have noticed too. In a rural community in Iowa there were 9 deaths and LE called it suicide. People get charged for poisoning wildlife but nothing if you poison a human.
What a beautiful sad story ...I also like to hear you talk that was great !
So sorry for your loss ❤.
Thank you for sharing ❤ Gods Peace to you and your Family .
🙏🙏 MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏🙏
Im so so sorry for the loss of your daughter and her boyfriend, it breaks my heart to the core, its so scary thinking this could happen to one of my daughters, and its scary so many beautiful, and wonderful people are dying everyday from addiction and from fentynol...i pray you get your grandson, or are able to be apart of his life always, he will be blessed to have such a loving grandpa in his life. Thank u for you sharing your story.
Very well spoken man so sorry for your loss
Whatever happened to the baby when the parents died???
Listen again last minuts, he explains. Now, after 9 months, they wait for decission. All grandparents wait... It will not be easy...
I‘m so sorry for your loss Sir 😔
But I do have a question: Where was the baby when the parents were discovered? Please don’t tell me that they passed away and their baby was in the room with them… 😳😔
Tbh there should be an agency nationwide investigating, like the FBI or DEA, but only specifically targeting the Fentanyl cases which weren’t investigated or prosecuted.
Yes, the DEA should do that but I bet they wouldn’t like the idea and saying stuff like „We don’t have enough people for that“… 🤷🏻♂️ And I have an answer for that: „Then hire people“ 🤬
So sad to see these videos of those two parents with their baby boy, knowing that he never will know his parents 😢
I loved seeing the video of your precious daughter. As a bereaved parent myself I feel so much compassion for you and the incredible devastation of this loss. Thank God you have your grandson. Truly if it wasn’t for my granddaughter I don’t know if I could survive this. Wishing you and your family peace and healing.
I’m so sorry for your loss 😢
Prayers for you sir.
Dear dad, so sorry for loss, and in all your pain having the courage to just get up. To many it's enough.Thank you
I’m so sorry for your losses, Christopher.
When you said you thought your daughter’s problems were in the past and she was becoming a more mature person, I could completely relate. The same thing happened with my son before he died.
It seemed like his troubled past was behind him. And, then he took his life. I was caught completely off guard too.
Sending you hugs from AZ!
I’m so sorry
All our stories are so similar.
Thinking and praying for you ❤️💔
I am so sorry for your loss😔🤍🙏🕊
Wow, her eyes....sorry for your loss

Thank you for being bold enough to share. This is absolutely 💯 murder! God, please wake people up!
My condolences RIP beautiful Nichole❤
So sorry for your loss, Dad. 💔🙏🏽
Thank you for telling your story. My heart goes out to you. I can only imagine your pain.
“Why don’t you have 50 dollars?”……..

What a wonderful and caring father this man is. I hope he gets custody of his grandson.
God be with this Grandfather and little grandchild
I Am Soooo Very Sorry For Your Loss . Thank~You For Sharing Your Story On Your Beautiful Daughter.
Agreed It Is Not An Accidental Overdose But Murder !!!
Right around the corner from me
I'm so sorry for your loss.
What happened to the baby? Did I miss that?
It will take years of court proceedings to determine who will gain permanent custody. It’s usually the maternal grandmother unless another family member has more money for attorney fees to fight it. Just terrible.
I really feel so sad about how easy these deaths are minimised and downgraded to an overdose. It is no wonder parents have such complex grief. I can't even imagine the pain of such a lack of a comprehensive investigation. So sorry for your loss and I hope you get to have regular visitation with your special grandson ❤
That poor baby lost both parents? Where is his justice?
Poor man. 😪
I listened and just wanted to say that you gave today dad, and so Nicole is still furthering a purpose.
So sorry for your loss.
🙏!
Damn both parents overdosed 😢😢😢💔💔💔
Sad as Shiet!!! My daughter's have to deal with Dad gone, trust me me doing everything alone is never easy! My youngest was 3 years old when her father offed himself in our kitchen. I know that is blunt but you can't sugarcoat it.
Imagine taking your youngest to the grave every holiday. Hey Mom, etc ... Now you got to sit here and paint the picture of what her father was. Stop it truly breaks my heart but nothing I can't control, it took me a long time to forgive him but I had to to move on. My daughter's keep me alive literally. And I will never love another man again. I choose that.
I’m confused. When the ex-wife’s relative called to tell him, certainly he immediately called his ex-wife to get more info????!
💯 Strong and Caring Father salute 🫡
it’s absolutely murder 💔😢
(what a beautiful baby)🙏🏻
HOW did NO one call you ??? 😓
No one told him??!! omg why are people so cruel... im so sorry for your loss 💜
May i first say I'm so very sorry for your loss.I lost my second daughter March 27 2022 to FENTYNAL POISONING i sure feel you're pain.You are right about NO ONE in the Justice System cares about this so many have died because of this POISON. I often wonder how a Senator or a higher level up politician would feel or do if one of they're own became a statistic FENTYNAL POISONING doesn't discriminate this could happen to anyone.May you find peace during you're grieving i know my daughter's death changed me for the rest of my life. Feeling Broken 😢💔
Painful....
Dad has great insight
Sad
Lost a great friend and boyfriend to a Fentynal overdose. I had no idea about it. Took 6 months to find out his cause of death, I had to call them over and pver
He started with narcos, then oxys. Be careful please people
