Manage episode 474762158 series 3419350
Peter and Erica Zurkow never imagined they would be part of a nationwide TV special—especially for a reason that once felt unimaginable. They thought their 23-year-old son, Henry, was safe in his own home, sleeping soundly in his bedroom. But in reality, he was in danger. The pill he purchased through Craigslist turned out to be deadly.
In this emotional episode of Grieving Out Loud, the Zurkows share their heartbreaking story, what they wish they had known sooner, and how they’re now working to raise awareness in hopes of preventing more tragic deaths.
