Thank you everyone!! My sister was loved BEYOND words. I really hope her story reaches SO MANY and saves others from having to endure the pain and heartache my family has had to suffer. Blessings to All💜💜💜
Oh my she was born same yr as me. Mines is Nov 11,1990. Lord thank God I got cleaned Aug 2019 pills are the devil to people that are fighting life😢 praying for y'all!
I was found clinging to life with 69.6 of Fetenal in my system. I had approximately 15 minutes left to live. My son who was 17 at the time, cleared my airway and called for help. I was narcan 5x and came back blind and deaf for several hours. Went to treatment straight from the hospital practically did 90 days. I relapsed6 months later and went back to treatment and I just got out last month after doing 97 more days. I start my new job and outpatient next week. Addiction doesn’t care how rich or poor you are, how much schooling/smart you are, your demographic, religion or sexual orientation. It’s sneaky, it’s patient, it cunning, it comes as a friend/comfort but in the end it’s snuffs the life out of you. My heart is with everyone who is struggling and those who’ve lost the battle to addiction. My condolences and prayers to your family and thank you sharing her story. She will save many others in Jesus name, Amen 🙏🏾 ❤
Keep up the hard work. It will be hard for awhile but I believe you have the will power to fight thru it and keep going! You already did the really hard step and got help!!! Prayers!!!
💙 I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS OF YOUR BELOVED SON 😢 MAY GOD HOLD HIM IN HIS LOVING ARMS. I PRAY YOU FIND PEACE. SENDING YOU LOVE & HUGS, MAY YOUR SON REST IN PEACE 🕊🙏🕊💙💙💙
I am so very sorry for the loss of your son. The loss of a child is beyond painful, and to lose them to something like this is such a tragedy 💔 😢 I lost my ex- wife on April 15th, 2023, to this horrible demon drug. All of my love and hugs to you!
I tried to run from me for years and I got sick and tired of it. When I turned 40 I was like is this it for me. Alcohol, drugs, and a chaotic life. I decided to make a change and I quit doing meth and heroin. I finally put down the bottle April 6 of 2020. I’m so glad that I got out of that before fentanyl became a big thing. I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, sister and friend.
At 33 I finally got sick of it at 32 I got clean I've relapsed a few times but didn't let those relapses grt to me. I just moved on.12 years of drugs. U gotta let ur brain heal up. Give it time it will take time but anything worthwhile takes time
A message to her brother.. from a younger sister: I hope you see this. Thank you. Thank you so much for being such a strong.. protective and providing big brother. I KNOW she appreciated you more than words can express. That kind of support and love is not common. Take it from me. Job well done ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you both!! The encouraging words mean a lot, especially the fact that him and I both felt we failed in protecting her…. BUT GOD!!! Reminds me ALL the time He was right there with her protecting her WAY BETTER than either of us could have in ANY situation. It sounds cliché, but as a believer, I know she’s in the best hands ever and that’s what I have to remind myself sometimes daily sometimes minute by minute, but we do appreciate everybody kind words we just pray that this does save and help others.
@@dianaboalts9184you seem amazing too. There's something so heavy about a man trying to seem and to stay strong when it's near impossible to. It fuckin kills me. I can feel the same stoicism from you. I can tell you at the very least, as someone who's been on her side of a family before, every SINGLE time somethin went awry, my IMMEDIATE and panicked reaction in my thoughts was oh no oh no oh no, I HAVE to make sure they know it's NOT them, they've literally done every single thing imaginable with me and for me, sitting in jail bawling over a letting im writing begging my mom to not have all those feelings we all know are inevitable.. the, where did I go wrongs, what more should I have dones, I didn't protect her enoughs, I didn't do my jobs...so while those are impossible not to feel and think, it always hurts me to see when others have those exact emotions because I knew it was the last thing I ever wanted. And honestly it's the number one thing that kept me going as long as I did in general. To spare their feelings. So I hope you guys feel her signals that you were the best and everything she wanted you to be. And I love that you're down in the comments. I really really love to see it and it changes even more knowing people like yall aren't just on a documentary series we watched on video. Youre living every minute we're out here living and trying to push through. I hope and wish you all the everythings she's ever wanted for you guys. What a precious family she got to do life with.
One thing that sucks is that addicts become so addicted the drug becomes your life, your best friend, your boyfriend, etc….Im 2 years clean but it’s a life struggle. 💔 So sorry for your loss…
Thank you all for your support and condolences. My conclusive message for you all is this, no matter what, never let your family/friend/loved one walk away feeing ashamed of what they’ve done/are doing. Love does conquer all. As much as it hurt to watch her go, I can only say that I fully trust in what God saw in her life that we never could have….no matter what the outcome, remember this….love has the power to change lives.
My heart goes out to your family. I lost a brother, sister, nephew, cousin, and a few friends to drugs. My mother just passed away from sepsis due to alcoholism complications. Addiction is a product of the devil for sure.
We lost a real one on August 22nd. It doesn't feel real. It's not the same without him here. The hardest part is that it didn't have to happen. I will never understand how someone so young (he was 29) and kind and sweet and intelligent I'd just gone forever. To those struggling with addiction, the pain that your actions cause is indescribable. Please get help. No questions asked. No judgements . Just get help. I'm grateful for these stories because we are not alone. Praying for everyone here. Asking for prayers in return😢
God Brought me to this video, my cousin passed away the same exact way, Dec 20, 2021. No one shared with me that she had a problem until after the fact. The fact that she knew to pull over, so she didnt just hurt herself but others, speaks volumes of this beautiful woman. Rest in Peace Sis.
I love that you said God brought you to this video because that is exactly what my brother and I want from this we don’t want to gain popularity or what nowadays they call it clout, or for anyone to feel sorry for us. I literally prayed before the fact of going in and speaking With the people who record these videos, my daughter and I did because that is what we want is for her to reach others to be able to save someone else or for the loved ones that are suffering from a loved one being an addict because it is tough, and we just pray that God somehow someway through this video would reach othersand hopes of saving their lives. Blessings to you.
The brother seems very mature and strong-minded. He broke my heart. Because he reminds me of myself and how I've dealt with my own siblings. I'm sorry she lost her battle. It's like a spiraling situation where you are forced to watch. It doesn't matter where they run like my mother says "drugs are everywhere". It made me cry knowing she pulled over. She knew something wasn't right. Rest in peace and may her family continue to spread the word. Her name will not go down quietly.
@jacquelynsoto3429 May God bless you and your family because loosing a child is every parent night mare and I know because I lost my oldest son last year due to gun violence and it still seems like it was yesterday that my middle son called me and said someone had shot my son in the back of his head and he died instantly so I am glad that I didn't see my son like that the only advice I have for anyone who has lost a child is take it one day at a time because they are now in heaven looking down at us
I was thinking the same thing. Usually with siblings you will have a wild one and a mature well put, articulate one, and the one who's like a second parent
This could have easily been ME, I was addicted to opiates also,😢. I have been clean for 18yrs NOW! I'm PRAYING for ALL THOSE SUFFERING FROM THIS DISEASE! This is so sad😢, you NEVER know when your using, if your going to get a hot bag! Most people who use have some sort of mental health issues, I know I did❤. I didn't care if I died, I actually wanted to die at the time.... I couldn't handle the stress of my reality WITHOUT something to take the edge off 😢. I am so THANKFUL that I made it out, because most of US DON'T! Only 3% make it out. When I first told my mom that I was using, and i couldn't quit, I told her THAT I couldn't picture my life WITHOUT using ANYMORE! BUT I WAS WRONG!! My life has never been BETTER!! I have three beautiful babies THAT helped me clean up my act... My prayers are with ANYONE reading THIS who need HELP ❤ may God be with YOU, and YOU CAN QUIT.❣️🙏. And I'm praying for all those families who have lost a love one! ❤❤❤
As a 32 year old CNA, this really hit home. Your sister was such a beautiful woman with an obviously beautiful soul. This is the perfect depiction of how addiction doesn't discriminate. I am so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing her story. May she rest in peace 🤍
I'm her brother's age & I'm also 18 months older than my sister, just like her sister. We're going through this same thing right now, only it's with our Mom. When he said he noticed his sister's strange behaviors, like not looking him in the eye.. it hit me hard. My Mom does the same thing. But, what struck me the most was how he said he always told his sister how much he loved her, told her she was always welcome in his home & would always be there if she needed help. Maybe that's the approach I need to take with my mom instead of jumping on her. Everybody needs someone to believe in them, & if they don't, then why would they want to change if no one thinks they can? Thank you for your sister's powerful story & for telling how much she was loved. I know love can't save people, but your sister left this world knowing how loved & special she is. That's a blessing in itself. Sending love & prayers to you all. I'm so sorry for your loss. 😢
Yessssss my babies is what bought me up outta ALLLLLLLL my bad habits. The love for them was ENOUGH. Love on her despite her illness be gentle but stern❤
I 🙏🏽 your mother gets clean I lost my mom 4/3/20 she was addicted to drugs & alcohol over 30 years basically my whole life, she was only 54 when she passed. I 🙏🏽 for you & your family.
Addiction is one of the hardest things to watch someone go through. My son is an addict and he will be sober for a while then all of a sudden he is right back at it out of the blue. No rhyme or reason. He overdosed last month and says he doesn’t need treatment that he can do it on his own. Ive begged him to get help. I am so sorry for this family it is absolutely heartbreaking. May God keep your family always 🙏♥️🙏
Trust in God and just try to get to him another way through what he loves Md let him know you are and love him and pray to God and leave it in god hands
Same with my brother. I pray everyday he doesn’t die and goes and gets the help that he needs. I pray your son gets the help he needs and lives a beautiful healthy long life.
Prayers I’m going through the same thing with my son i made him move out because I felt like I was enabling him more it hurts my soul I feel so sad every night how he is living I pray to god that I made the right decision I just pray for him to get help before I lose him he’s been in and out of treatment but goes back to drugs it started making me feel like I was going to have a breakdown so hopefully the choice I made will help him god bless you and your family 🙏😞
I'm a recovering alcoholic we need more help than criticism and true love and support, its hard with out help. You have to Surrender for real, some people don't Leave it alone because the withdrawal is pain, I just take it easy on myself and one day and second at a time .I pray and be mindful of my family emotions and funeral cost.❤❤❤❤ Praying healing
Thank you for sharing your story, my sister was Found in a Hotel room a few months ago, that night I just got done teaching a Bible study and went to bed.. I got a phone call at 1:30am from the ICU, to come say goodbye to my sister she has maybe an hour to live.. when I got there, I completely broke down seeing her on life support, I know that my sister was in active addiction... I just wish I did more to help her We are also 18months apart, my dad's heart couldn't take the pain, 3weeks later I found him on the floor and he to has passed away. I feel so sad and alone, life goes on for everyone around you, but for me.. the Air in the atmosphere is at a stand still
Yes thank you for sharing!! It isn’t easy BUT GOD has showed faithful and true to who He is in and through this situation. Praying blessings and strength over you 💜
I am so sorry and your story is so touching to me. I am married to a man who had four boys and I have a girl and a boy. They are all adults now but his 19 yr old son died from Fentanyl July 22nd 2019. I have been with my current husband for over 11 years and now my biological son is in rehab for Fentanyl. He has been there since September 6th by choice and decided to stay for IO therapy and is beginning to work but still stay in rehab. It is so difficult as a family member to know what can happen. Always dreading that phone call. Please know how grateful I am that you are sharing her story so we can hopefully shed more light on addiction. The stigma HAS TO STOP!! PLEASE ANYONE WATCHING, KNOW THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE. THESE ARE NOT BAD PEOPLE. It always amazes me how judgemental my peers can be when they hear about my stepson or son as they drink themselves into oblivion. You did great by your sister!
Having a sibling addicted to multiple things is so heart wrenching and very difficult for our entire family. Watching what this has done to our mother makes it harder when it comes to feelings. Love my sister but, it's hard to understand why she continues to walk this path. We have helped her out of many situations many times but, she goes back. 😭
I finally got sober once I thought bout how my parents would deal with me dying before them how much pain my parents would be in. It wasn't fair and was very selfish. So I turned my life around for me but also for my family
I have 2 sisters who are recovering addicts (meth), an uncle (coke), and 2 best friends who are active heroin users and the turmoil it causes on families is so damn hard! My oldest who I adopted from one of my sisters was born addicted and stayed addicted until the state removed him when he was 13 months old so in turn he will always have the addiction gene as well for life. You can take what I say with a grain of salt but the best advice I can offer you is see a counselor even though I know it’s a taboo, mine helped me understand it was none of our faults and at one point when my baby sister was 60 pounds she had to help me work through the process of just waiting for that call to come yah know?! I also went to a lot of NAMI (national alliance mentality ill) to just listen to what other family members were struggling with because addiction is part of a mental instability. Sorry for my rambling but I pray your family can see the overcoming of the addiction that’s plaguing you guys right now 💔
My brother was a heroin addict for his whole adult life, he passed away at 58 with liver cancer caused by hyp C caused by sharing needles. Now my 40 year old son is using drugs and it's breaking my heart and asking myself what I did wrong. My biggest fear is my son taking something with fentanyl his drug choice is pills.
The families who tell the stories are so, so brave. But thank heaven they do. I knew nothing about fentanyl until I saw these videos. Thank you. I’m so very sorry for your loss. ❤
It's so sad to hear these pleas from these families who have ALREADY lost loved ones. What did Jelly Roll say about this loss of life ? Oh, that if a plane was crashing every day with 190 people on board. Wouldn't you see that on the local news every night. Wouldn't the planes be grounded until they knew it was safe ? Our community news stations could do a continual 1 or 2 minute run every night. Isn't this important enough ?
My heart goes out to you guys. Addiction is tough. As a recovered addict, nearly 6 years clean, I can tell you that the fentanyl that's out there right now is not what it used to be and I have no doubt it's being used as a weapon of mass destruction and coming through the southern border! I'm so very sorry for your family's loss and I know that you sharing Joanna's story is going to help not only your healing process but those who are going to watch this. You guys are brave and loving and I pray God brings you all comfort and healing. Rest in paradise Joanna.
I am also a recovering addict with severe opioid abuse for nearly 10 years. I also agree it is being used as a chenical weapon to kill. But you nust remember, where do the mexican cartels get these opioid chemicals from? China. I do believe, China is purposely sending all of these chemicals through Mexico, to basically kill the West.
Congratulations🎉too you!....me as well 6 year cocaine addiction Jesus set me free 9/11/21!!!!...God bless every soul who doesn't make it threw it's the hardest thing I've overcame in life❤
So, you believe that China is purposely killing people in the US. You realize the US is China's largest trading partner, right? You're saying China wants to kill their largest income source. That makes sense to you?
I lost my nephew on July 1, 2023 to an unintentional fentanyl overdose. He was 30 years old. This story hits home because outside of his appearance he was the same loving, funny boy he always was. He loved his family and his children and was a hard worker. Not showing up for work is what made my niece know something was wrong. One bad dose took this beautiful boy away forever. But in the end there are no good doses 😢 Gone way too soon. 🙏🏾💔 Praying for your family.
Damn Brandon, you broke my heart into a million pieces 😢. Thank you @Texas Pictures Documentaries I will always be grateful for sharing all of these lives. God bless y'all.
I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing your family’s story. As a former opiate addict, I pray your story will reach the right person and save them and their families from having to endure what your family has. Blessings and peace.
I am so sorry you lost your sister. This is another sad sad story of a good person slipping into the web of drugs and eventually getting a toxic pill with fentanyl in it and losing their life. The worst part besides the death is the ones left behind that are grieving and trying to understand why this happened. Two of my friends, father and son have passed away due to the effects of drugs and left behind so many people that loved them. There is nothing left but the memories of a person that you loved so much.
I hate this epidemic man, and our government is doing nothing. They are too busy peddling money to other countries. Our kids are dying and getting addicted at a rapid rate and it's only getting worse.
The death of a sibling is a pain like no other... unfortunately there isn't much focus on it 😢 My condolences to her family... she was beautiful, gone too soon 🙏🏾
Wow. His love for his sister reminds me of my only brother love that he has for me. It's just felt and understood. Just like it's 3 of them. 2 sisters and 1 boy... So are me and my siblings. The love from this interview is very strong and vivid 🥺ᥫ᭡🫂
Thank you for sharing your story about your beautiful and beloved sister. My ex passed away in September 2021 from fentanyl and alcohol with other drugs and it was devastating. He was the father of of our 4 sons and it has been a painful journey ever since. We never knew. He kept his this secret from us. He only told us that he had an alcohol problem. May you and your family carry the memories of your sweet sister in your hearts forever ❤.
I love this families honesty I had a family member pass from a fentanyl overdose last year & it’s literally a secret the family refuses to talk about I’m sorry for their loss & pray their able to b find peace
I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard for those who are left to deal with the passing and to try to find peace. Hope you all can get through it. Rest in peace 🕊️
As a recovering addict I'm so sorry for your loss .. I was fortunate enough after fetanyl came around I had died three times in one week and that was the moment I decided to take a friend's charge to go to prison... Rehab let's you walk out when ever probation is only about the money and in prison I couldn't just get out of it.. I needed the year...... Six months in I realized that the dreams and cravings stopped... Upon release I stayed near my parents who didn't allow people in their home I did not even go to stores without them Drs were throwing pills at me and my mom was right there every time she would rip them up and now I'm writing my book about my trial and tribulations of both before during and after the many struggles... I also use the money people send me to put into the book so people can see what it's like on both sides .. also in school currently to be a peer support specialist and a drug counselor with experience not textbook... I hurt for you all...
This was very hard to hear! You all loved her so, and your pain is so visceral! Thank you for sharing your story so publicly. Being a mother of children Joanna’s age is very sobering. I don’t think I can relate to your mothers pain, and can only imagine what she’s had to endure. I’m so very, very sorry for your loss!
THANK YOU SWEETIE, IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH ORDEAL LOSING MY BABY GIRL. SHE WAS A VERY PLEASANT LITTLE GIRL AND ALWAYS AGGERVATING HER BROTHER AND HER AND HER SISTER WERE VERY CLOSE. JOANNA WILL FOREVER BE MY ANGEL HER LITTLE LIFE WAS A TRUE TESTIMONY AND EVEN THOUGH SHE IS GONE HER LIFE WILL CARRY ON. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT AND LOVE I TRULY NEEDED TO HEAR THOSE WORDS FOR I LOVE MY BABY SO MUCH SHE WAS A INSPIRATION TO SO MANY. BE SAFE TAKE CARE AND THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH😇😇😇❤🙏🙏🙏
My heart aches for them. I have walked this path with drugs and addiction for nine family members now. Only two have made it to longterm recovery. The others lost to the demons within.
Thank you Texas Pictures Documantaries! These videos are SO IMPORTANT! So many people & families in the US are absolutely unaware of the fetanyl nightmare!
Those levels are crazy! I'm so sorry for the loss of such a special person. Words aren't enough...those that are complicit in a fentanyl poisoning need to be held accountable.
My boyfriend lost his first son to herion, he was with a friend who said they used and he was asleep so the friend left and he died. He was a beautiful person and his death will affect their family forever. God bless your family, it’s so sad and I’m so sorry you lost your sister. I hope doing these videos help you heal.
My 17 years old nieces just passed 2 days ago. Her balloon release is today at 5. We are so heartbroken to see her mom going through this I have no words. I myself went through this 3 years ago and I'm still here thank God I was able to get immediate help. I haven't touched NOTHING else since that day Easter Sunday. I preach ALLLLLLLL the time to not touch that shit. I'm so sad that we didn't know and now our babygirl is gone💔💔💔💔 pray for us because we're NOT OK. This story just popped up in my newsfeed and I pray for your family as well.
My heart aches honey for y’all. She was a baby! My prayers are with y’all may God keep His mighty hand over your family and give you all strength and comfort in this difficult moment💜💜
I am one of the lucky ones who did fentanyl for pain since my pain management Dr left. know one gives help now for pain unless your sick with cancer or similar health problems.So I was left helpless and hopeless with NO help. It was almost two yrs using fentanyl in a powder form. One day my health took a turn for the worse where I would fall and couldn’t get back up. So I ended up in the hospital and then nursing home to help me walk again. They found out I had4 neurological disorders which is why my pain was so bad and I couldn’t walk.Meanwhile my husband found a bunch of empty fentanyl packages when looking for things I needed in the nursing home. He was heartbroken especially since we have been together for 30 yrs thinking he knew everything that was going on with us. I’m glad all of this happened and I’m not living a lie even though I’m still in PT and will never physically be the same. My ❤ breaks for the ones that didn’t make it through this deadly drug.
Thank you so very much for sharing Joanna’s story. I have children your age and this educates me on what happening in the world. Sending prayers of peace, strength and love your way! ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family. I know this feeling all too well. 😢 My cousin's boyfriend died from fentanyl poisoning at the young age of 24 in 2018. Worst day of our lives. Something needs to be done to stop this from continuing to happen everyday.
This is such a tragic story, but thank God she gave her heart to God. God is full of mercy and grace! This young lady is at rest with the Lord! Blessings and hugs to this family.❤
thank you to joanna bryants family for sharing their story and strength i have watched a few of the videos on this channel and find them invaluable. i just noticed i hadnt subscribed yet and im happy to say i fixed that.
Thank you for sharing this story of your loved one. I'm sooo sorry that this happened to you guys. I know yall will take care of her children like your own. I hope you complete nursing school and make your sister proud. Sleep in peace Joanna 🕊🩶
Prayers to Joanna's family. Your love for her shines through this video and she, doubtless, knew that she was loved. To Joanna's niece, what a lovely and mature young woman you are. Honor your auntie's memory by being the best that you can be! To Joanna's sister, please go to nursing school, you have such a powerful message to share with others, and what a wonderful way to celebrate your sister! To Joanna's brother, your love for your sister is very apparent and she was blessed to have you watching out for her. 💔🙏
My most sincere condolences to your family and friends. I lost my best friend to addiction and I was angry for hiding it but when I stop and look back at things it was right in my face. I don’t know if I didn’t really notice or did I not want to notice it.
So sorry for the loss of your beautiful sister. 🙏🏼 having had a son that was addicted from the ages of 12-21, the question always lingers with loved ones “why wasn’t my love enough?” I asked myself the same question while my son was in the grips of such a horrible condition and it wasn’t until near the end of his addiction that I understood that it wasn’t that my love wasn’t enough, it was that the hold drugs had on him had diluted his view of himself and what he deserved. Prayers for you all! 🙏🏼 May God comfort and wrap His loving arms around you.. know that you are not alone in this aftermath. 💜
It’s so crazy that you said this. One of the things I question myself and God about is a conversation that my sister and I had in October of 2022 right after I had been in a tragic accident and she was sitting in front of me and told me Diana it’s your faith in God that has made me wanna try this God you talk about and I wondered a lot in the beginning when she passed why wasn’t my faith good enough to save her from the things she was doing, why wasn’t the God she accepted on EASTER Sunday enough. But He(God) reminds me all the time He was right there with her she wasn’t alone and she’s smiling now💜💔🕊️🥹
So sorry to hear that this young lady passed on , may JOANNA BRYANT REST IN PEACE with our Lord JESUS CHRIST in HEAVEN😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ .

Thank you everyone!! My sister was loved BEYOND words. I really hope her story reaches SO MANY and saves others from having to endure the pain and heartache my family has had to suffer. Blessings to All💜💜💜
Diana my condolences 💐 to you and your family ❤
Oh my she was born same yr as me. Mines is Nov 11,1990. Lord thank God I got cleaned Aug 2019 pills are the devil to people that are fighting life😢 praying for y'all!
I am so very sorry. Prayers for you and your family. Nobody should have to go through this tragic loss. Thank you for sharing. 😢❤
Prayers for your family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💜💜
@@showboat4613 thank you it hasn’t been easy but God continues to see us through.
I was found clinging to life with 69.6 of Fetenal in my system. I had approximately 15 minutes left to live. My son who was 17 at the time, cleared my airway and called for help. I was narcan 5x and came back blind and deaf for several hours. Went to treatment straight from the hospital practically did 90 days. I relapsed6 months later and went back to treatment and I just got out last month after doing 97 more days. I start my new job and outpatient next week. Addiction doesn’t care how rich or poor you are, how much schooling/smart you are, your demographic, religion or sexual orientation. It’s sneaky, it’s patient, it cunning, it comes as a friend/comfort but in the end it’s snuffs the life out of you. My heart is with everyone who is struggling and those who’ve lost the battle to addiction. My condolences and prayers to your family and thank you sharing her story. She will save many others in Jesus name, Amen 🙏🏾 ❤
Thank you for sharing.
OMG!! My prayers are with you that God continues to give you strength to stay sober and share your story to also save others. Blessings 💜
Keep fighting!! NEVER GIVE UP ❤
Keep up the hard work. It will be hard for awhile but I believe you have the will power to fight thru it and keep going! You already did the really hard step and got help!!! Prayers!!!
Praise God you're saved 🙌. I lost my son Martin Forever 34. Warmest hugs to you!!
This story really hits home, I lost My Only Son 4 days prior (January 11,2023) . He was 32 n lost him to fentanyl 🥹💔😢My heart goes out to the family
Sorry about your son😢
🙏💪
💙 I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS OF YOUR BELOVED SON 😢 MAY GOD HOLD HIM IN HIS LOVING ARMS. I PRAY YOU FIND PEACE. SENDING YOU LOVE & HUGS, MAY YOUR SON REST IN PEACE 🕊🙏🕊💙💙💙
I am so very sorry for the loss of your son. The loss of a child is beyond painful, and to lose them to something like this is such a tragedy 💔 😢
I lost my ex- wife on April 15th, 2023, to this horrible demon drug. All of my love and hugs to you!
My CONDOLENCES to u Ann. Family 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I tried to run from me for years and I got sick and tired of it. When I turned 40 I was like is this it for me. Alcohol, drugs, and a chaotic life. I decided to make a change and I quit doing meth and heroin. I finally put down the bottle April 6 of 2020. I’m so glad that I got out of that before fentanyl became a big thing. I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, sister and friend.
At 33 I finally got sick of it at 32 I got clean I've relapsed a few times but didn't let those relapses grt to me. I just moved on.12 years of drugs. U gotta let ur brain heal up. Give it time it will take time but anything worthwhile takes time
I know I’m a stranger to you, but I am very proud of you!
Thank GOD for your deliverance
We are so very proud of you. ❤
Awwww what a great story! Congrats, it’s a true struggle
A message to her brother.. from a younger sister:
I hope you see this. Thank you. Thank you so much for being such a strong.. protective and providing big brother. I KNOW she appreciated you more than words can express. That kind of support and love is not common. Take it from me. Job well done ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you both!! The encouraging words mean a lot, especially the fact that him and I both felt we failed in protecting her…. BUT GOD!!! Reminds me ALL the time He was right there with her protecting her WAY BETTER than either of us could have in ANY situation. It sounds cliché, but as a believer, I know she’s in the best hands ever and that’s what I have to remind myself sometimes daily sometimes minute by minute, but we do appreciate everybody kind words we just pray that this does save and help others.
This is my favorite comment. He was amazing.
@@dianaboalts9184you seem amazing too. There's something so heavy about a man trying to seem and to stay strong when it's near impossible to. It fuckin kills me. I can feel the same stoicism from you. I can tell you at the very least, as someone who's been on her side of a family before, every SINGLE time somethin went awry, my IMMEDIATE and panicked reaction in my thoughts was oh no oh no oh no, I HAVE to make sure they know it's NOT them, they've literally done every single thing imaginable with me and for me, sitting in jail bawling over a letting im writing begging my mom to not have all those feelings we all know are inevitable.. the, where did I go wrongs, what more should I have dones, I didn't protect her enoughs, I didn't do my jobs...so while those are impossible not to feel and think, it always hurts me to see when others have those exact emotions because I knew it was the last thing I ever wanted. And honestly it's the number one thing that kept me going as long as I did in general. To spare their feelings. So I hope you guys feel her signals that you were the best and everything she wanted you to be.
And I love that you're down in the comments. I really really love to see it and it changes even more knowing people like yall aren't just on a documentary series we watched on video. Youre living every minute we're out here living and trying to push through. I hope and wish you all the everythings she's ever wanted for you guys. What a precious family she got to do life with.
As a brother with 2 sisters I know this is something I need to work on.
Everyone should have such a brother.
One thing that sucks is that addicts become so addicted the drug becomes your life, your best friend, your boyfriend, etc….Im 2 years clean but it’s a life struggle. 💔 So sorry for your loss…
Hope you still doing well and staying strong against the evil forces that try to attack life.
You should be proud of yourself
Thank you all for your support and condolences. My conclusive message for you all is this, no matter what, never let your family/friend/loved one walk away feeing ashamed of what they’ve done/are doing. Love does conquer all. As much as it hurt to watch her go, I can only say that I fully trust in what God saw in her life that we never could have….no matter what the outcome, remember this….love has the power to change lives.
My condolences 💐
Agree ❤
Amen!!
So sorry for ur loss 🙏🏿 prayers for u and your family 🙏🏿❤️ she sounded like a beautiful lady ❤❤❤
Sorry for the sorrow you are going through
My heart goes out to your family. I lost a brother, sister, nephew, cousin, and a few friends to drugs. My mother just passed away from sepsis due to alcoholism complications. Addiction is a product of the devil for sure.
Awwww so sorry
Awww so sorry to hear of all the people you have lost Luv. Sending love from the UK ❤
Sending you a heartfelt hug 🤗💕 God Bless You, You’ve really had to deal with a great deal of trauma, grief & loss. 🙏🇨🇦
That is a true brother. You, sir, are an inspiration. I wish I had had a brother like you.
Me too. Me too
And me 🇦🇺
Word up🤘🏾🙏🏾🥺🥺❤️ I feel for her family 💐💐💐💐
Absolutely!! I agree
He is a great brother. I'm very grateful to have a very good big brother too. That also understands and never judges me. ❤ from the Netherlands.
We lost a real one on August 22nd. It doesn't feel real. It's not the same without him here. The hardest part is that it didn't have to happen. I will never understand how someone so young (he was 29) and kind and sweet and intelligent I'd just gone forever. To those struggling with addiction, the pain that your actions cause is indescribable. Please get help. No questions asked. No judgements . Just get help. I'm grateful for these stories because we are not alone. Praying for everyone here. Asking for prayers in return😢
thank you honey and as well I am sorry for your loss ,my daughter was my baby and I miss her everyday. May God be with you and your love ones as well
Prayers sent 🙏
May God continue to order your steps 🙌🙏
Sorry for your loss. My best friend was found dead on August 22nd and it’s still unbelievable. She was 35, two weeks shy of her 36th bday.
God Brought me to this video, my cousin passed away the same exact way, Dec 20, 2021.
No one shared with me that she had a problem until after the fact.
The fact that she knew to pull over, so she didnt just hurt herself but others, speaks volumes of this beautiful woman.
Rest in Peace Sis.
I love that you said God brought you to this video because that is exactly what my brother and I want from this we don’t want to gain popularity or what nowadays they call it clout, or for anyone to feel sorry for us. I literally prayed before the fact of going in and speaking With the people who record these videos, my daughter and I did because that is what we want is for her to reach others to be able to save someone else or for the loved ones that are suffering from a loved one being an addict because it is tough, and we just pray that God somehow someway through this video would reach othersand hopes of saving their lives. Blessings to you.
The brother seems very mature and strong-minded. He broke my heart. Because he reminds me of myself and how I've dealt with my own siblings. I'm sorry she lost her battle. It's like a spiraling situation where you are forced to watch. It doesn't matter where they run like my mother says "drugs are everywhere". It made me cry knowing she pulled over. She knew something wasn't right. Rest in peace and may her family continue to spread the word. Her name will not go down quietly.
Thank you so very much I am Joanna`s mother and blessings to you.

@jacquelynsoto3429 May God bless you and your family because loosing a child is every parent night mare and I know because I lost my oldest son last year due to gun violence and it still seems like it was yesterday that my middle son called me and said someone had shot my son in the back of his head and he died instantly so I am glad that I didn't see my son like that the only advice I have for anyone who has lost a child is take it one day at a time because they are now in heaven looking down at us
Yesssssss 🙌LORD continue to order his steps🙏
I was thinking the same thing. Usually with siblings you will have a wild one and a mature well put, articulate one, and the one who's like a second parent
He really loved his sister bless his heart ❤
This could have easily been ME, I was addicted to opiates also,😢. I have been clean for 18yrs NOW! I'm PRAYING for ALL THOSE SUFFERING FROM THIS DISEASE! This is so sad😢, you NEVER know when your using, if your going to get a hot bag! Most people who use have some sort of mental health issues, I know I did❤. I didn't care if I died, I actually wanted to die at the time.... I couldn't handle the stress of my reality WITHOUT something to take the edge off 😢. I am so THANKFUL that I made it out, because most of US DON'T! Only 3% make it out. When I first told my mom that I was using, and i couldn't quit, I told her THAT I couldn't picture my life WITHOUT using ANYMORE! BUT I WAS WRONG!! My life has never been BETTER!! I have three beautiful babies THAT helped me clean up my act... My prayers are with ANYONE reading THIS who need HELP ❤ may God be with YOU, and YOU CAN QUIT.❣️🙏. And I'm praying for all those families who have lost a love one! ❤❤❤
As a 32 year old CNA, this really hit home. Your sister was such a beautiful woman with an obviously beautiful soul. This is the perfect depiction of how addiction doesn't discriminate. I am so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing her story. May she rest in peace 🤍
I'm her brother's age & I'm also 18 months older than my sister, just like her sister. We're going through this same thing right now, only it's with our Mom. When he said he noticed his sister's strange behaviors, like not looking him in the eye.. it hit me hard. My Mom does the same thing. But, what struck me the most was how he said he always told his sister how much he loved her, told her she was always welcome in his home & would always be there if she needed help. Maybe that's the approach I need to take with my mom instead of jumping on her. Everybody needs someone to believe in them, & if they don't, then why would they want to change if no one thinks they can? Thank you for your sister's powerful story & for telling how much she was loved. I know love can't save people, but your sister left this world knowing how loved & special she is. That's a blessing in itself. Sending love & prayers to you all. I'm so sorry for your loss. 😢
You catch more bee's with honey.
@@Confessions089I've never heard that before, but how true it is x
Yessssss my babies is what bought me up outta ALLLLLLLL my bad habits. The love for them was ENOUGH. Love on her despite her illness be gentle but stern❤
I 🙏🏽 your mother gets clean I lost my mom 4/3/20 she was addicted to drugs & alcohol over 30 years basically my whole life, she was only 54 when she passed. I 🙏🏽 for you & your family.
Tell your mom you love her. And Your proud
Of her. Those 2 things will go a long way, I promise ❤️
I'm not sure what to say anymore. There are no words to describe how hard it is to hear these stories.. My condolences to Joanna's family....
Addiction is one of the hardest things to watch someone go through. My son is an addict and he will be sober for a while then all of a sudden he is right back at it out of the blue. No rhyme or reason. He overdosed last month and says he doesn’t need treatment that he can do it on his own. Ive begged him to get help. I am so sorry for this family it is absolutely heartbreaking. May God keep your family always 🙏♥️🙏
Praying for you and your son🙏🙏🙏
Trust in God and just try to get to him another way through what he loves Md let him know you are and love him and pray to God and leave it in god hands
Same with my brother. I pray everyday he doesn’t die and goes and gets the help that he needs. I pray your son gets the help he needs and lives a beautiful healthy long life.
Prayers I’m going through the same thing with my son i made him move out because I felt like I was enabling him more it hurts my soul I feel so sad every night how he is living I pray to god that I made the right decision I just pray for him to get help before I lose him he’s been in and out of treatment but goes back to drugs it started making me feel like I was going to have a breakdown so hopefully the choice I made will help him god bless you and your family 🙏😞
I'm a recovering alcoholic we need more help than criticism and true love and support, its hard with out help. You have to Surrender for real, some people don't
Leave it alone because the withdrawal is pain, I just take it easy on myself and one day and second at a time .I pray and be mindful of my family emotions and funeral cost.❤❤❤❤ Praying healing
Thank you for sharing your story, my sister was Found in a Hotel room a few months ago, that night I just got done teaching a Bible study and went to bed..
I got a phone call at 1:30am from the ICU, to come say goodbye to my sister she has maybe an hour to live.. when I got there, I completely broke down seeing her on life support, I know that my sister was in active addiction... I just wish I did more to help her
We are also 18months apart, my dad's heart couldn't take the pain, 3weeks later I found him on the floor and he to has passed away. I feel so sad and alone, life goes on for everyone around you, but for me.. the Air in the atmosphere is at a stand still
Very sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing.
Yes thank you for sharing!! It isn’t easy BUT GOD has showed faithful and true to who He is in and through this situation. Praying blessings and strength over you 💜
Ive gotten that call. Its beyond sad.
I am so sorry and your story is so touching to me. I am married to a man who had four boys and I have a girl and a boy. They are all adults now but his 19 yr old son died from Fentanyl July 22nd 2019. I have been with my current husband for over 11 years and now my biological son is in rehab for Fentanyl. He has been there since September 6th by choice and decided to stay for IO therapy and is beginning to work but still stay in rehab. It is so difficult as a family member to know what can happen. Always dreading that phone call. Please know how grateful I am that you are sharing her story so we can hopefully shed more light on addiction. The stigma HAS TO STOP!! PLEASE ANYONE WATCHING, KNOW THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE. THESE ARE NOT BAD PEOPLE. It always amazes me how judgemental my peers can be when they hear about my stepson or son as they drink themselves into oblivion. You did great by your sister!
Having a sibling addicted to multiple things is so heart wrenching and very difficult for our entire family. Watching what this has done to our mother makes it harder when it comes to feelings. Love my sister but, it's hard to understand why she continues to walk this path. We have helped her out of many situations many times but, she goes back. 😭
I finally got sober once I thought bout how my parents would deal with me dying before them how much pain my parents would be in. It wasn't fair and was very selfish. So I turned my life around for me but also for my family
I have 2 sisters who are recovering addicts (meth), an uncle (coke), and 2 best friends who are active heroin users and the turmoil it causes on families is so damn hard! My oldest who I adopted from one of my sisters was born addicted and stayed addicted until the state removed him when he was 13 months old so in turn he will always have the addiction gene as well for life.
You can take what I say with a grain of salt but the best advice I can offer you is see a counselor even though I know it’s a taboo, mine helped me understand it was none of our faults and at one point when my baby sister was 60 pounds she had to help me work through the process of just waiting for that call to come yah know?! I also went to a lot of NAMI (national alliance mentality ill) to just listen to what other family members were struggling with because addiction is part of a mental instability.
Sorry for my rambling but I pray your family can see the overcoming of the addiction that’s plaguing you guys right now 💔
My brother was a heroin addict for his whole adult life, he passed away at 58 with liver cancer caused by hyp C caused by sharing needles. Now my 40 year old son is using drugs and it's breaking my heart and asking myself what I did wrong. My biggest fear is my son taking something with fentanyl his drug choice is pills.
@@marciayoung8735You did nothing wrong. My mother also was asking me that!! 😢😢 It's a disease and nobody is to blame.
The families who tell the stories are so, so brave. But thank heaven they do. I knew nothing about fentanyl until I saw these videos. Thank you. I’m so very sorry for your loss. ❤
My prayers go out tooo her Family💐🙏🏾💎❤️💐🥺🥺🥺🌹❤️
It's so sad to hear these pleas from these families who have ALREADY lost loved ones. What did Jelly Roll say about this loss of life ? Oh, that if a plane was crashing every day with 190 people on board. Wouldn't you see that on the local news every night. Wouldn't the planes be grounded until they knew it was safe ? Our community news stations could do a continual 1 or 2 minute run every night. Isn't this important enough ?
My heart goes out to you guys. Addiction is tough. As a recovered addict, nearly 6 years clean, I can tell you that the fentanyl that's out there right now is not what it used to be and I have no doubt it's being used as a weapon of mass destruction and coming through the southern border! I'm so very sorry for your family's loss and I know that you sharing Joanna's story is going to help not only your healing process but those who are going to watch this. You guys are brave and loving and I pray God brings you all comfort and healing. Rest in paradise Joanna.
I’m praying strength on your journey to stay healthy, strong and clean. Not just for you, but for your family as well.🙏🏾
I am also a recovering addict with severe opioid abuse for nearly 10 years. I also agree it is being used as a chenical weapon to kill. But you nust remember, where do the mexican cartels get these opioid chemicals from? China. I do believe, China is purposely sending all of these chemicals through Mexico, to basically kill the West.
Thank you
Congratulations🎉too you!....me as well 6 year cocaine addiction Jesus set me free 9/11/21!!!!...God bless every soul who doesn't make it threw it's the hardest thing I've overcame in life❤
So, you believe that China is purposely killing people in the US. You realize the US is China's largest trading partner, right? You're saying China wants to kill their largest income source. That makes sense to you?
My heart breaks with this tragic loss. I hope the family continues to heal
I lost my nephew on July 1, 2023 to an unintentional fentanyl overdose. He was 30 years old. This story hits home because outside of his appearance he was the same loving, funny boy he always was. He loved his family and his children and was a hard worker. Not showing up for work is what made my niece know something was wrong. One bad dose took this beautiful boy away forever. But in the end there are no good doses 😢 Gone way too soon. 🙏🏾💔 Praying for your family.
🙏🏾🙏🏾 @richelleharrison9337 prayers to you and your family 😢
💔My heart broke for Joanna's brother he had so much love for his baby sister. She never felt anything but love from him.
🥺Joanna's sister comforting Joanna's babies when she herself just lost her sister was so beautiful & strong of her.❤
well, i can say she had the most loving supportive family a sister could ask for ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. This ruins entire families.
I’m so very very sorry for your loss. I hope that people become more aware, and the people who sell this in whatever form are charged with murder.
I can see the love in her brothers eyes ❤
Seeing her sweet niece cry just broke my heart. 😢
Damn Brandon, you broke my heart into a million pieces 😢.
Thank you @Texas Pictures Documentaries I will always be grateful for sharing all of these lives.
God bless y'all.
We see your comments often. We appreciate you. 😉
My family and I appreciate your support very much.
This really hit home . My son died in November 2022 from this same thing . I felt so cheated. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing your family’s story.
As a former opiate addict, I pray your story will reach the right person and save them and their families from having to endure what your family has.
Blessings and peace.
I am so sorry you lost your sister. This is another sad sad story of a good person slipping into the web of drugs and eventually getting a toxic pill with fentanyl in it and losing their life. The worst part besides the death is the ones left behind that are grieving and trying to understand why this happened. Two of my friends, father and son have passed away due to the effects of drugs and left behind so many people that loved them. There is nothing left but the memories of a person that you loved so much.
I hate this epidemic man, and our government is doing nothing. They are too busy peddling money to other countries. Our kids are dying and getting addicted at a rapid rate and it's only getting worse.
My daughter passed away in 2020 of January. I pray they get this drug off the streets. Since it is killing a lot of our loved ones .
@@ladyjojo57 we have to rally and pressure our ppl in Congress
My God when a Mother loses a child it’s the most heart breaking thing ever.
Absolutely True‼️
This is very sad. Saying prayers for her and her family.
The death of a sibling is a pain like no other... unfortunately there isn't much focus on it 😢 My condolences to her family... she was beautiful, gone too soon 🙏🏾
Here's a link to a story we recently released that focuses on siblings, cousins, and friends.
ruclips.net/video/nD1vHOVCDVw/видео.html
Gone tooo soon 🥺🥺💐❤️💐
God bless her🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️💎🥺💐
Wow. His love for his sister reminds me of my only brother love that he has for me. It's just felt and understood. Just like it's 3 of them. 2 sisters and 1 boy... So are me and my siblings. The love from this interview is very strong and vivid 🥺ᥫ᭡🫂
Thank you for sharing your story about your beautiful and beloved sister. My ex passed away in September 2021 from fentanyl and alcohol with other drugs and it was devastating. He was the father of of our 4 sons and it has been a painful journey ever since. We never knew. He kept his this secret from us. He only told us that he had an alcohol problem. May you and your family carry the memories of your sweet sister in your hearts forever ❤.
Thank you for sharing your sister's story. I am raising my grandson that is now 19 I used your story to open a dialog with him.
Aww he’s such a loving brother. This broke my heart. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I love this families honesty I had a family member pass from a fentanyl overdose last year & it’s literally a secret the family refuses to talk about I’m sorry for their loss & pray their able to b find peace
So sorry for the loss of your sister.
What an amazing and loving family! I feel very sorry for them. Also a big thank you Texas pictures documentaries.
Thanks for watching
You are so brave to share your stories. Prayers for comfort.
Lost my lil brother in 2018..it ripped my heart out my chest
I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard for those who are left to deal with the passing and to try to find peace. Hope you all can get through it. Rest in peace 🕊️
As a recovering addict I'm so sorry for your loss .. I was fortunate enough after fetanyl came around I had died three times in one week and that was the moment I decided to take a friend's charge to go to prison... Rehab let's you walk out when ever probation is only about the money and in prison I couldn't just get out of it.. I needed the year...... Six months in I realized that the dreams and cravings stopped... Upon release I stayed near my parents who didn't allow people in their home I did not even go to stores without them Drs were throwing pills at me and my mom was right there every time she would rip them up and now I'm writing my book about my trial and tribulations of both before during and after the many struggles... I also use the money people send me to put into the book so people can see what it's like on both sides .. also in school currently to be a peer support specialist and a drug counselor with experience not textbook... I hurt for you all...
This was very hard to hear! You all loved her so, and your pain is so visceral! Thank you for sharing your story so publicly. Being a mother of children Joanna’s age is very sobering. I don’t think I can relate to your mothers pain, and can only imagine what she’s had to endure. I’m so very, very sorry for your loss!
THANK YOU SWEETIE, IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH ORDEAL LOSING MY BABY GIRL. SHE WAS A VERY PLEASANT LITTLE GIRL AND ALWAYS AGGERVATING HER BROTHER AND HER AND HER SISTER WERE VERY CLOSE. JOANNA WILL FOREVER BE MY ANGEL HER LITTLE LIFE WAS A TRUE TESTIMONY AND EVEN THOUGH SHE IS GONE HER LIFE WILL CARRY ON. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT AND LOVE I TRULY NEEDED TO HEAR THOSE WORDS FOR I LOVE MY BABY SO MUCH SHE WAS A INSPIRATION TO SO MANY. BE SAFE TAKE CARE AND THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH😇😇😇❤🙏🙏🙏
Is it weird we never heard of this stuff, then immediately it starts killing people left and right?
My heart aches for them. I have walked this path with drugs and addiction for nine family members now. Only two have made it to longterm recovery. The others lost to the demons within.
Thank you for your courage in sharing your personal story of family tragedy of a public health crisis.
Thank you Texas Pictures Documantaries! These videos are SO IMPORTANT! So many people & families in the US are absolutely unaware of the fetanyl nightmare!
Thank you for your comments.
I truly am so sorry for y'all's loss. May she rest in peace 🕊️
No one deserves to go out like that My God have a Really Special Place For Her
Rest in peace, Beautiful Joanna.
Such a beautiful young lady. So very sorry for you and your family suffering. 😢
My God keep you all. If feel you because my oldest is in recovery doing amazing Trosa. Still staying prayed up for the ones who had to revib others.
Thank you family for sharing. This could help another family.
Those levels are crazy! I'm so sorry for the loss of such a special person. Words aren't enough...those that are complicit in a fentanyl poisoning need to be held accountable.
My boyfriend lost his first son to herion, he was with a friend who said they used and he was asleep so the friend left and he died. He was a beautiful person and his death will affect their family forever.
God bless your family, it’s so sad and I’m so sorry you lost your sister. I hope doing these videos help you heal.
My 17 years old nieces just passed 2 days ago. Her balloon release is today at 5. We are so heartbroken to see her mom going through this I have no words. I myself went through this 3 years ago and I'm still here thank God I was able to get immediate help. I haven't touched NOTHING else since that day Easter Sunday. I preach ALLLLLLLL the time to not touch that shit. I'm so sad that we didn't know and now our babygirl is gone💔💔💔💔 pray for us because we're NOT OK. This story just popped up in my newsfeed and I pray for your family as well.
My heart aches honey for y’all. She was a baby! My prayers are with y’all may God keep His mighty hand over your family and give you all strength and comfort in this difficult moment💜💜
Sorry for your loss
I am one of the lucky ones who did fentanyl for pain since my pain management Dr left. know one gives help now for pain unless your sick with cancer or similar health problems.So I was left helpless and hopeless with NO help. It was almost two yrs using fentanyl in a powder form. One day my health took a turn for the worse where I would fall and couldn’t get back up. So I ended up in the hospital and then nursing home to help me walk again. They found out I had4 neurological disorders which is why my pain was so bad and I couldn’t walk.Meanwhile my husband found a bunch of empty fentanyl packages when looking for things I needed in the nursing home. He was heartbroken especially since we have been together for 30 yrs thinking he knew everything that was going on with us. I’m glad all of this happened and I’m not living a lie even though I’m still in PT and will never physically be the same. My ❤ breaks for the ones that didn’t make it through this deadly drug.
Wow what a wonderful man her brother seems to be. May she Rest In Peace
I wish we all had a brother/family member like him ♥️
Thank you so very much for sharing Joanna’s story.
I have children your age and this educates me on what happening in the world.
Sending prayers of peace, strength and love your way! ❤
Omg 😢 what a beautiful woman she is. What an amazing big brother she had! I'm so sorry for yalls loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family. I know this feeling all too well. 😢 My cousin's boyfriend died from fentanyl poisoning at the young age of 24 in 2018. Worst day of our lives. Something needs to be done to stop this from continuing to happen everyday.
This is such a tragic story, but thank God she gave her heart to God. God is full of mercy and grace! This young lady is at rest with the Lord! Blessings and hugs to this family.❤

RIP, Joanna. I KNOW you still are. ❤
Joanna very well saved the lives of others by pulling into the parking lot. This is a wonderful display of the love between siblings.
Thanks!
So so very sorry that your baby sister passed away!!❤❤❤❤❤
We have the same last name, listening to this story makes me feel like I lost a family member ❤ Rest in Peace dear one 😢
My most sincere condolences to your family and friends. I lost my best friend to addiction and I was angry for hiding it but when I stop and look back at things it was right in my face. I don’t know if I didn’t really notice or did I not want to notice it.
So sorry for the loss of your beautiful sister. 🙏🏼 having had a son that was addicted from the ages of 12-21, the question always lingers with loved ones “why wasn’t my love enough?” I asked myself the same question while my son was in the grips of such a horrible condition and it wasn’t until near the end of his addiction that I understood that it wasn’t that my love wasn’t enough, it was that the hold drugs had on him had diluted his view of himself and what he deserved. Prayers for you all! 🙏🏼 May God comfort and wrap His loving arms around you.. know that you are not alone in this aftermath. 💜
It’s so crazy that you said this. One of the things I question myself and God about is a conversation that my sister and I had in October of 2022 right after I had been in a tragic accident and she was sitting in front of me and told me Diana it’s your faith in God that has made me wanna try this God you talk about and I wondered a lot in the beginning when she passed why wasn’t my faith good enough to save her from the things she was doing, why wasn’t the God she accepted on EASTER Sunday enough. But He(God) reminds me all the time He was right there with her she wasn’t alone and she’s smiling now💜💔🕊️🥹
May peace be upon this family🙏🏽 well wishes
So sorry to hear that this young lady passed on , may JOANNA BRYANT REST IN PEACE with our Lord JESUS CHRIST in HEAVEN😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ .
I’m so sorry I pray that y’all find peace and happiness with your memories 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤
I am so very sorry for the loss of your loved one. I can tell she was loved greatly
Thank you for sharing, I lost a close friend to an OD last year, it’s devastating, the void it leaves behind it is unbelievable,
