A Heartbreaking Memory: Erika Recalls Seeing Charlie’s Body<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As part of her emotional address, Erika also shared<\/a> a personal and heartbreaking memory of the moments following Charlie\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

She recalled visiting him in the hospital and seeing the wound that ultimately took his life.<\/p>\n

“I saw the wound that ended his life. I felt everything he would expect to feel,” Erika said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt shock. I felt horror, and a level of heartache that I didn\u2019t even know existed.<\/p>\n

“But there was something else, too.<\/p>\n

“Even in death, I could see the man that I love\u2026 I also saw on his lips the faintest smile.”<\/p>\n <\/picture> \"GettyImages-2236636785.jpg\" <\/picture>Erika Kirk and Donald Trump hugging onstage during the memorial service for Charlie Kirk. Credit: Win McNamee \/ Getty<\/em><\/p>\n

Erika explained that a surgeon had told her that even if the gunshot wound had happened in an operating room, it would have been impossible to save him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no pain, there was no fear, no agony. One moment, Charlie was doing what he loved\u2026 then he blinked. He blinked and saw his savior in paradise,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n
