Erika, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has shared her deep sadness and the difficult moments she is facing after the murder of her husband. In an emotional interview, Erika revealed that she carries with her a Saint Michael medal, a pendant that was taken from Kirk in the hospital during the attempts to save his life. The woman, former Miss Arizona, remembers how the night before her death she begged him to wear a bulletproof vest, to which he appeared confident in the safety of his intervention in Utah. Upon arriving at the hospital, Erika came across a harrowing scene: Charlie's body, with "a half-smile of complicity, like the Mona Lisa's", which gave her a strange sense of peace.

In her conversations with Donald Trump, who considered Charlie as a son, Erika requested that the connection they shared continue as a tribute to his legacy. The widow recalls those moments with gratitude that contrasts with her pain, highlighting the president's kindness in his interactions and hinting at a longing for support in her struggle to honor her husband's memory.
