Who was it tragic for? Certainly not for that baby. Why on earth would you see this situation as a tragedy is beyond my understanding. That child’s mother didn’t care for him at all. He was born an addict to two addicts what life do you presume that child would have? How was it cut short? The creator loved that child more than the two deprived individuals. So He took him back to him. How that is a tragedy is mind blowing. I wish God did that more often because most people should not have such precious lives to be responsible for.

Heartbreaking! We lost my husbands only child September 4, 2022. She was like one of my own. She took something that was laced with fentany! & what makes this that much harder is my husbands nephew same age as his daughter is the one who gave her the substance she took. Having no idea it was laced w/ fentanyl! They were close like brother & sister & no family should ever have to feel so divided over losing a family memeber. Everyone in this family seems to be ashamed of the cause of death. Like they want to protect her reputation so no one is talking about it. I desperately want to spread awareness. Not allow her death to be in vain. I want her death to have purpose & be meaningful. So that maybe by telling her story it could save atleast one person her death will not have been for nothing. Payton Alyssa James baby girl we love you so much & miss u so bad. Keep watching over your daddy. He's so lost without u!He's not the same man he use to be.

You & your husband have suffered the most devastating losses of all… your only child❣️ I’m sure your husband’s nephew was wracked with both guilt & great sorrow, although he had no ill intent, the guilt must have been immense. I’m sorry the family was divided, that only added to the sad & difficult time you were already dealing with. There is no shame in this situation…your daughter had no clue that fentanyl was in that pill she took. The nephew certainly meant no harm whatsoever & I hope he’s found peace & has forgiven himself. Losing a child is the most devastating & difficult road any parents can ever travel . I lost my only child to pancreatic cancer & I wouldn’t ever wish this pain on anyone.

I completely agree. My goodness this child has been through hell. Sounds like he is surrounded by addicts and/or former addicts. I hope he , and his siblings,can live a clean healthy life because considering what they’ve already been through and the family having a strong history of addiction they have some odds against them. Regarding his father, I was shocked to hear he was on crack before he was 17 and had two kids to boot. Just so sad. SMH. I’m sure his mom being an addict didn’t help but I do wonder if he may have had a mental disorder like bipolar or ADHD which caused him to self medicate. To only be 32 when he died, he’d lived a very hard life. Again, I hope little Nick and his siblings are able to grow in to healthy adults and live drug free lives. It’s just so sad what’s happened to them.

There are a lot of mental healthcare facilities in every State in the USA and most provide excellent services. However, it is often very difficult to get people who have addictions to access those services and even when they do, often they continue to use drugs. They just add the prescribed psychiatric drugs to the mix that they are taking. A lot of people enter rehab facilities because they recognise that their bodies are breaking down from the drug use and the lifestyle they are living. They get better, start feeling healthy and good, leave the rehab facility and the first place they go, is to their plug. It’s disheartening for the people who work in the healthcare field and it’s very upsetting because all the treatment costs a lot of money and depletes the resources for other people who need mental healthcare. You can take a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink.

I cried hearing this lovely mother’s pain and anguish. I’m an old man. Her story her deep pain is so very real. I cried like a baby hearing her.

His son seems like a beautiful soul and it’s stunning. I also wish that girl who bullied him could have just been kind to him

I have no words, but I felt her through the t.v. Momma, none of us are perfect no matter what, we are all flawed in our own ways and have our own vices. You did what you could, and yes if you can touch just one and save them its the ultimate gift for your inner being. Que se quede caminando adelante con Dios por sus otros ninos y familia 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤

So sorry for your loss, dear Mama. 💔🙏🏽😢

I'm so very sorry you lost your son ma'am.

Makes me sad that a parent can't stop using drugs when they have children. We are our children's first teachers.

It is sad but so is addiction it is a sickness that controls and nobody hates the addict more than themselves 😔

I’m just gonna say this, if you’ve never been addicted to drug before then don’t judge because you don’t know what it feels like. My personal opinion it’s the worst battle you can go through in life!

@@shontee-v the worst battle is survival and then seeing your children suffer and maybe follow in your footsteps. The worst is realizing your screw ups and owning all of it, but seeing all your bad choices in your of own kids. Knowing you are responsible for all the stuff and not owning it, or seeing it's bc of your choices as an addict.

Happy birthday Nicholas ❤❤❤

Wow. He was born on my daughter's birthday and passed on mine.

What an absolute tragedy - just the whole story - my God!.

I could almost relive the end part (of losing my husband)watching her tell her story. I finally got the autopsy but don’t understand it but I know it was fentanyl that took his life 😢

May The Lord God Jesus Bless this Family through such a hard and gut-wretching tragedy..

Bless you, my heart breaks for you. I too was a recovering addict, and tried to srt an example for my son by staying clean, attending meetings, etc. It didn't save my son either. I fell you're pain, and thank you for being so raw and honest. You're story was similar to mine. Our sons were about the same age. Stay strong

Please please please don’t cry mom, you’re making me cry from how my mom probably felt when she found me on the floor of my bathroom overdosed not breathing off fentanyl

@@brendagarza69 I just want you to know that you touched someone. Your son is an inspiration for many of us and so are you. Your emotions are so raw, I couldn’t even begin to feel what my parents have gone through. My parents tried everything too, rehab, subs, dictating my life. Your sons legacy forever lives on. Thankyou for sharing

🙏🏻🙏🏻 This sweet lady has seen so much struggle and pain. I'm so sorry Nick was taken so soon. She is a strong woman to make it a point to be there for her grandchildren. Praying this family has peace, and that the youngest generation will not be plagued by addiction.

Rip to Nick 😢

So much tragedy in that family! Everyone rest in peace 🙏 They make good money in the oil field! Congratulations to you! 👍

My heart goes out to the mother and family

Wow, I'm surprised he lived as long as he did! Drugs destroy every part of your life.

Keep going dear Lady! Your faith in our Lord God Almighty will hold you up. I'm so sorry for your family. God Bless You 🙏🌹

Rest In Peace Nick. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 God Bless The Family. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I”m so sorry for your loss and congratulations on being clean! Strength to his kids!!

I feel like hugging this woman! God has a special place in heaven for ppl like her! You can look in her eyes and listen to the pain in her voice and on her face she’s had a LIFE!! And she’s still here smiling!! You ppl judging in the comments like you’re perfect smh! God bless this lady

I can really tell how much you loved your son and I can't picture what your pain is like except to say one of my sons almost died of an overdoes yrs. ago and I was going crazy in the hospital. Thank goodness you have his son Nick Jr. with you and many other relatives. I have very few around me bc I come from such a small family. God bless you in your struggle without your son Nick.

We only know her part of the story, Nick is not alive to tell his that’s why I’m not praising the mom at all

I am so sorry for your tragic loss. May he Rest in Peace

I cried listening to this mama crying for her son. How tragic. I’m so very sorry for your loss. 😢. Remember give your heart and pain and tears to God and let our Almighty Creator fix your beautiful son. God will not let’s drugs control your son anymore. I wish you peace sweet lady. I’m so very sorry. 😢💔

I agree - they give out Narcan here in the states likes it’s candy - but you have Diabetes out of control and the government could care less about them - no free insulin - it’s truly disgusting!!!!! You can only feel sorry to some point - people know how deadly it is.
