Well, I am so happy to have found Hills. And it was mostly because I am a grieving mother. This is my son, Jeremiah.

Ask Dr. Drew

My sweet son meant the world. He still does. I attended some meetings with compassionate friends, which... They have a worldwide following. There's chapters everywhere.

I still have trouble seeing it. This organization is for grieving parents and they support grandparents and siblings and mostly we get together, we speak about our children and It can be at times heartbreaking, ultimately uplifting.

Ask Dr. Drew

And what I got from it after being just in the dark for days and weeks and months, not knowing how to navigate out of this pain of grief of losing my son, my only son, my child, was just to listen to other people. How did you do? Give me your experiences. And now I'm almost 10 years down the road. It'll be 10 June 5th. So I love to talk to people and say, how did you make it?

Ask Dr. Drew

And they'll say, well, I started a foundation. I went to court and the murder of my daughter. And it's very powerful. Everybody's grief is so different, yet it's universal, right? So I'm so grateful that I found this, and I found a purpose in carrying on Jeremiah's legacy because he was very concerned about underprivileged, homeless people in particular.

Anytime he saw anyone on the street, even as a little boy, he was, Mom, Mom, give him some money.

Ask Dr. Drew

FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476

3218.613

And then when he got older, it was all his money. He would give the shirt off his back. And so this, I think, just kind of came to me by the virtue of being among friends, right, that go down my road. So I thought, I can help with homeless people. I have donated to LA on Cloud 9 and LA Regional Food Banks. And there's just so many. There's such a need, Dr. Dew. You know that.

Ask Dr. Drew

And Susan, you know that, and living in Los Angeles and around the world, around this country anyway, the state. There's so much need. And I am currently taking care of Jeremiah's father, my ex-husband. And he was homeless. And to take care of one person is so much. I took him to Department of Social Services, the DMV, to get an ID. And go to Social Security. I mean, we've done multiple things.

Just getting him back on his feet is so difficult. That's one person. There are so many people on the streets. And you know that we have all these different initiatives and laws, not laws, but things that we put on the ballot. And we give our money to it, but where does it go?

Ask Dr. Drew

So many people. What do you see as the first step?

Ask Dr. Drew

FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476

3429.743

Sure. I will set up a website. I haven't done that yet. I'm just 10 years down the line. I've basically helped everyone else. And now I'm thinking, well, this is something I can do because I know what it takes to help one person. So now I can go and help other people one by one. That's, I guess, how we do it.

Ask Dr. Drew

And I've been so fortunate to find groups like LA on cloud nine that we actually go on the streets and we give feedback. toiletries and clothing and shoes and socks, everything to the people directly. They're on the streets. And some want to be in a home and others do not. Most do not.

Ask Dr. Drew

Right, right. So I guess when you think of tiny villages, those are very expensive.

That's exactly what they need. Of course. Physical therapy.

Oh, you have to or you'll get an ulcer. That's what I used to tell myself. Go ahead and cry. Cry, cry, cry. Not obviously in a professional situation. I'm a court reporter. I can't. Excuse me, I'm going to have a breakdown. I'll be right back. Can't do that. But when you're at home in your privacy or your car or something, then let it out. It has to come out.

Ask Dr. Drew

FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476

3720.909

And I was so grateful that I didn't take one. Three days after my son had passed, I was told, you have to stop crying. No, that's not going to happen.

Ask Dr. Drew

Ask Dr. Drew

And that's why.

Ask Dr. Drew

3753.226

And you know what was the most helpful for me? My friend is a therapist, and she did, and I'm sorry I forgot the name of it, but you do this.

Ask Dr. Drew

3761.972

Thank you. And I did that, and I started with the very beginning of Jeremiah's diagnosis of lung cancer. That's not fair. That's not fair. 27 years old. Just genetics. Genetics. My father's side of the family. It was what we figure. We don't know. Who knows? So I went from the very beginning of his journey going through the treatment. Traumatic.

Ask Dr. Drew

FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476

It was so traumatic.

Ask Dr. Drew

FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476

3788.141

Until he was in a hospital.

Ask Dr. Drew

FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476

3794.323

Yeah. Yeah. One foot in front of the other trying to help him. So there's a lot. You know, he ended up ultimately being overdosed in the hospital. I told Susan that he was overdosed with fentanyl and dilated. That's how he died as opposed to lung cancer.

Ask Dr. Drew

FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476

3811.073

And now it's really sad for me because I have the guilt that I didn't save him or that I didn't notice that they were doing twice the dosage and not removing him.

Ask Dr. Drew

FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476

3828.377

Right. However, the immunotherapy was just starting. And I know people that was stage four lung cancer today that have beat it from immunotherapy.

Ask Dr. Drew

FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476

He was on Tarsiva. And then, you know, he was managing with a 25 microgram. They put 50 on him.

Ask Dr. Drew

FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476

3856.65

No, the nurse didn't remove his Dilaudid. He just got an overdose. He had a respiratory arrest. So I went through this whole thing of, do I sue? This is medical malpractice. I'm a court reporter. I know I've done many things. Depositions, many trials. I know. I know lawyers, and they sort of were like, I don't think so. And now I see many more of these now, and it doesn't matter the stage.

Ask Dr. Drew

At the time, it was, oh, the stage is four. Sorry. Now that's not the case because you can survive, and people are thriving.

Many people survive. Late stages. It's amazing. It's wonderful. I'm really happy to see just in the 10 years since Jeremiah's been gone, what I've seen and seen other people. Yeah, it's beautiful. I'm happy. I'm glad for them.
