“I STILL TALK TO HIM”: Erika Kirk Opens Up About Grief, Faith, and Keeping Charlie’s Voice Alive

It’s been months since the world lost Charlie Kirk, but for Erika Kirk, the conversation never stopped. In a moment of raw honesty, the widow of the late Turning Point USA founder shared that she still speaks to her husband every single day — not out of denial, but out of love that refuses to fade.

“I talk to him all the time,” she said softly during a recent interview, her hands clasped gently in her lap. “I’ll say, ‘Baby, give me your wisdom. Speak to me.’”

Her words carried both sorrow and strength — the kind that only comes from faith tried by fire. She paused before continuing, eyes glistening with emotion.

“I want to feel this deeply — to understand how the Lord wants to use it.”

For Erika, grief has become a language of prayer — a sacred dialogue between heaven and earth. Those who know her say she doesn’t speak of Charlie in the past tense. Instead, she talks about him as someone who has simply stepped into another room, someone whose presence still fills their home, their mission, and her heart.

Since Charlie’s tragic ass@ssination, Erika has emerged as a quiet pillar of grace, carrying not only her pain but also his legacy. Friends say she often walks the grounds of their Arizona home at dusk, whispering prayers under her breath — prayers of remembrance, gratitude, and strength.

“Some nights she’ll sit by the window, just talking to him,” one close friend revealed. “She says it helps her stay close — not to the loss, but to the love.”

Faith remains the center of her healing. Instead of running from her sorrow, Erika has leaned into it, believing that even the deepest wounds can become instruments of purpose. “I’ve realized that pain, when given to God, becomes seed,” she once said. “Something grows from it — something eternal.”

She often speaks about her desire to ensure that Charlie’s work — and his heart — live on. “I always want my husband’s voice and his name to be remembered,” she said. “He was a good man.”

And those words — quiet but resolute — seem to sum up her entire journey: not one of bitterness, but of blessing. She refuses to let tragedy define the man she loved or the faith they shared. Instead, she’s turning loss into legacy, continuing the mission he began — to uplift families, strengthen the next generation, and remind America of the values that first brought them together.

In every speech she gives, in every act of kindness she performs, there’s an unmistakable sense that Charlie is still part of it all. She speaks as though guided by his spirit, often pausing mid-sentence, as if listening for something unseen.

Those moments — fragile, luminous, and filled with reverence — remind her audience that love doesn’t end when breath does. It continues, reshaped by heaven but still very much alive on earth.

“Charlie believed in truth, in courage, in standing firm,” Erika said. “So now, even when I feel small or scared, I ask, ‘What would he tell me?’ And I hear it in my heart — that same steady voice saying, ‘Keep going.’”

In her grief, she has found something almost holy: the realization that love can become prayer, and memory can become mission.

And so, every day, Erika Kirk keeps talking to her husband — not out of heartbreak, but out of hope.

Because somewhere beyond the veil of this world, in a place untouched by violence or fear, she believes he still hears her.

And perhaps, in the stillness of her prayers, he answers — not with words, but with peace. ❤️🙏
