    Ma’am you did all of the right things, it’s not your fault. I’m a recovering addict and would never blame my mommy or daddy for my addiction issues. Was raised in a upper class household, private school education, traveling and exploring the world positively. Got sick, toe nail had to be removed. The pain is indescribable, plus it got infected. I was given Percocets and Vicodin tablets highest dose of each pill. The pill made me feel energetic, kept fears at bay, just made me feel good. Then one day I realized I didn’t just want hem I needed them for survival. My parents put me in rehabilitation center, I did good but failed bc I wasn’t ready,relapsed. It was hard, scary, fentanyl poisoning. 9 Narcan were used, they fought for me. That’s when I decided I wanted to be clean and have been for over 3 yrs. I didnt want to hurt my family again. I think straight and I’m happy. I plan on doing talks at school, I simply want to save children from this demon.

    My son broke his back racing dirt bikes at 16 years old. Same experience- he got opiods for it & was addicted. He has struggled for over 15 years. With the fentenal in everything now we have seen many die. All around him. Guys in rehab.. guys even on staff at rehab. Over dose & gone. Every day I live with that reality- im not the same. I tell him I love him. Tell him he can openly talk about any relapse & say keep trying. It's not a failure if you get up & keep trying. This crisis reminds me of the Bible story of King Herod killing all the babies to avoid Jesus being king. There is something evil out there folks- it wants our kids. Pray & yes educate.. then pray more. My deepest condolences to this mom. Thank you for sharing your story.

      We have to call it was it is. Genocide. The open borders, the kickback to the ‘leader’s in this country. That dirty money is winning elections. Recognizing the agenda is key. I want to shout this from the rooftops. I feel that if the addicts truly understands that ‘the powers that be’ desire their death after they wring everything that was positive in their lives, that that might spur them on to fight the battle that much harder. This is real…

      I was introduced to pain meds, when a friend gave me 3 pills, it made me feel light, happy and energized. I wanted to feel the same feeling it resulted into an addiction. I did stop until I got away from my home, but I injured my back. Due to my back I got reintroduced to it. I wanted more and more, so I could kill all the bad memories and childhood abuse. I am still dealing with it, I am trying to stop, so for instead of feeling good, it made me feel lonely and depressed. I am embarrassed to open up about it, because I don't want those who are related to me and those who knew me to look at me, judge me, look down on me and laugh about me. But I pray and asked God to rescue me from this evil addiction, to break the chains of addiction. I need to change for my kids and husband but most importantly to change myself before it's too late. I am thankful you and other parents for sharing your heart felt memories and educating kids about the danger of fentanyl. I am sorry you loss your child but his story and your advocacy are saving lives. We all need prayers 🙏 especially for our kids. May God continue to comfort you, RIP 🙏 🕊

      We were just talking about this tonight! I was working in the bar 18yrs ago and a lot of drugs went through the bar. Yet I had never heard of fentylol until about 10yrs ago.. Maybe not even that long ago. Our government has allowed enough of it or ingredients for it, to be smuggled in each and every single day, enough to saturate each and every community big and small, across The Americas and all around the world! Agenda 21 2030^2050 is in affect. They are depopulating through multiple programs/agendas.. That is why we've lost so many young adults and teens.. I personally know almost 20 friends or family members who've been taken in the last 10yrs. Many of them taken in the last few years! It's devastating. Any unprecedented event leaving devastation in its wake, are agenda 21 30^50 programs approved by infiltrators in your local government. We are at war. A war like no other war ever in history.

    The pain pills started it for too many people. A blessing and a curse those things are. For me I needed them for pain from surgery. What I noticed is when I took them for pain they took away my emotional pain, my depression. So I would take them for depression. And that’s where it started for me.

      I take pain meds daily for chronic nerve damage and fibromyalgia. If I didn’t have them, I would die from the physical inability to tolerate it. I also have MS. Not sure how I am able to limit myself however without them I’m sure by the simple nature of the meds that I would withdrawal. I’ve been prescribed Hydrocodone for 10 years or so, nothing stronger and nothing weaker. I take 4 to 5 a day, every four to six hours while I move my body. It sucks to have to take them because honestly I still have some pain but it’s nothing like when I don’t have one for six hours, that’s when the pain will shoot down my body and I want to scream (sometimes I do). I believe this Country over prescribes for sure, and the fentanyl on the streets is what’s killing people because once they’re hooked, they’ll take anything with no questions because they are trying to avoid being sick.

I met thousands of people in the program during those 12 months and most of them were childlike but streetwise… such a strange combination. Ma’am I am so sorry for loss and pray you find your peace.

    Blake's story parallels so many others that found themselves in this horrible situation. My brother, Matthew Carver Goode, too lost this battle. I feel now that their loved ones need to pick up that torch to win this war. Keep sharing your stories about our loved ones. Thinking of Blake, Blake's family, his loved ones, and all of you that are in this nightmare of an epidemic.

    My son and I used to take walks everyday when I got home from work. I used to talk to him about alcohol and how the men on my dad's side of the family were all alcoholics. At 32 my son is an alcoholic. He self medicates because he's bipolar. He says he doesn't like the way the medicine makes him feel. He won't get psychiatric help because he believes he knows more than the drs.
    I've learned the hard way. You are not your child's only influence. The frenemies have more of an influence than the parents who have always had their best interest at heart.
    God Bless Us All. ✝️

    You’re an incredibly good woman who’s been through a lot. When I was 18 I had my wisdom teeth removed and was introduced to codeine. I’ve been orphaned since 16. That first time using opiates was the beginning of trouble. I’ve worked all my life and fortunately only went to jail once for 9 mos. I’m going on 70 now and it’s been on again off again and a lot of surgeries. So I know how your son didn’t ask for this habit, but the feeling is so strong that those of us fell in love with the pain meds. I pray you still have joy in this life. The kind of joy only God can give. Gods joy even a drop of it is enough to sustain us.

    I'm listening to this story and I'm really troubled. This excellent family doesn't deserve to be put through all this unnecessary drama. This is middle class America suffering from problems totally alien to their past experiences. This is New York City and I've been losing friends to drugs since Day One back in the 60s. This latest fentanyl scourge is taking the USA apart. My sincerest condolences Mrs. Henderson. You didn't fail anyone and forget those guilt feelings. Take care & God Bless .

      Sadly, my brother's only son died of Fentanyl poisoning suicide in Wisconsin. Its not just a problem in NYC, tragic - its in every state as the drug smugglers have brought Fentanyl over the southern border & sold thru out USA. Work to vote Dems out of positions of power as Dems use illegals as their new voters, to keep power.

Addiction is addiction . I am so sorry for your loss. For everyone that knew and loved him. I hope he is at peace with God, in heaven, now.

    Sweet Mama. I am a nurse, too. I knew about Fentanyl pain patches for pain management. I did hear it was a drug brought into the US. I did NOT know it is cheap and it is laced into so many other street drugs. Most people who use do not know they are taking it. I am so sorry for your losses, your husband and your son. Thank you for helping others with this very painful story.

    @Texas Pictures Documentaries, my cousin was found on January 1st, 2023 at his house, paramedics worked on him for 20 minutes, but he was pronounced dead at 2:57am. Everyone thought that he had a heart attack.
    I got a copy of his autopsy a couple of days ago, and yes, it was FENTANYL‼️ He thought he was taking cocaine, but unfortunately what was given to him was FENTANYL.
    I feel this mother's pain, because even though this was my cousin and not my own son, I loved him with my soul.
    We all need to do something about it, but thank you Texas Pictures Documentaries for sharing.

      They are putting it in all the street drugs now. Some comedians in LA even got coke laced with fent and all 3 were found dead together in an apt or hotel. People need to stay away from these drugs. All drugs. It’s not worth it when they are laced with something deadly.

    I could not even imagine the pain that losing a child causes. I only got a glimpse of this woman's pain and I can see it in her face. I have a daughter and two sons and they're grown now with families of their own and when I was raising them that was my biggest fear to have them on drugs. Listening to this mother talk about her son is heart renching and I can't stop crying. I watched my aunt pass away back in 1979 when I was just a kid but I remember it like it was yesterday and I watched her spirit leave her body. It was so peacefull. Just know that your beautiful son Blake is in heaven protecting you, he is your guardien angel.

      Very sorry for your losses. Those first few days after rehab or after incarceration are particularly dangerous for those with SUD because tolerance has lowered. We're working with HIDTA now to produce a short film that addresses this to be shown to prisoners before release.

    I lost my son in November 21. I understand. Drake was 23. He was my oldest son and I love him with all my soul. His younger brother and sister told me he was gone. I will never forget that moment. I hear it in my head every day. Drake was wonderful. Just as I’m sure Blake was. Had Drake not been so heavily intoxicated he would be here today. We will see our sins again in heaven. Let us keep our eyes on Jesus. You will remain in my prayers.
