Erika Kirk didn't sleep in her bedroom for weeks after her husband Charlie Kirk was shot

Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has shared a deeply emotional account of her grief following her husbands tragic death, revealing that she couldnt bring herself to enter their bedroom for weeks after the shooting. Speaking at the University of Mississippi during a Turning Point USA event, the same conservative organization her late husband founded, Erika opened up about her struggle to cope with the loss. She told the audience that it had been seven weeks since Charlie was shot and killed during a speaking event at Utah Valley University, describing him as her best friend. Erika explained that in the aftermath of the tragedy, she was unable to even step into the couples bedroom, saying she would avoid it entirely every time she came home. When she finally found the strength to return, she spent her first night sleeping on Charlies side of the bed, a small but meaningful step in her process of healing. During her remarks, Erika expressed gratitude to the students present, saying their dedication to Turning Point USA, the organization her husband built into a national conservative movement, made her feel deeply connected to him even in his absence. Charlie Kirks death sent shockwaves through political and academic circles, with tributes pouring in from supporters across the country. His widows words at Ole Miss served as both a reflection of personal loss and a message of resilience in the face of tragedy
