Monday, December 19, 2016They really can't. He didn't want to be like that."Connecticut's U.S. attorney's office working to help families of fatal overdose victimsInside Sue Kruczek's house in Guilford, there are five stockings hanging from the fireplace off the kitchen. One of them is for Nick, Kruczek's son, who died two years ago from a heroin overdose.Kruczek said she was initially very quiet about her son's death, until she realized how few parents she came in contact with were aware of how easily teenagers could get their hands on illicit drugs. Nick's story, which has been told by Kruczek many times in the last two years, began when an upperclassman gave him a pain pill before his first hockey game as a freshman in Madison. It was to help take the edge off for the 14-year-old freshman starter.Years later, it was Kruczek who found him dead in his apartment, having lost his battle to addiction after several attempts at detox and rehab."I think people can really relate to his story," Kruczek said, adding that it still pains her to speak in public about her lost son. "But, when I'm done, I think maybe I've helped one more person.""Whatever can be said or done to help other parents not walk in our shoes, we are all in," Kruczek added.In addition to speaking at panels in the area, Kruczek worked with state Rep. Sean Scanlon, D-Guilford, on the recently passed legislation that prohibits state d...
