Erika Kirk, the widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, shared a moving Christmas message this week. She reflected on her journey of healing following her husband’s tragic assassination, stating, "This Christmas we tucked away."
The emotional post focused on the power of faith and the "sacred and holy balm" of support from loved ones. Kirk described a quiet holiday spent with her two young children during their first Christmas without Charlie.
She shared that she keeps her husband’s belongings undisturbed, viewing them as "love notes from Heaven." These small reminders help her navigate the grief of losing her husband at such a young age.
Despite the pain, she remains focused on balancing old traditions with their new reality. Kirk also addressed the public scrutiny and slander she has faced, stating that "none of it shakes me."
She stated firmly that "their words, accusations, assumptions, and slander don’t land," and that she owes the world nothing. Her message encouraged other wives to let their stories be ones of "deep devotion and self-sacrifice."
