Erika Kirk has endured many women’s worst nightmare: suddenly losing their husband and the father of their young children.
Whatever your feelings about Charlie Kirk’s politics, his grieving widow’s message of love and hope for the future, as well as forgiveness toward her husband’s murderer, could not be better calculated to soothe the wounds of national political strife.
Erika Kirk’s address was exemplary for another reason, however. With the nation’s eyes on her, she didn’t lecture, she didn’t lob statistics and she didn’t shame other people’s choices or circumstances. In her lowest moment, she simply and sincerely shared the source of her strength and forgiveness: her faith and her marriage.
“The greatest cause in Charlie’s life was trying to revive the American family,” Kirk shared.
