Grieving widow Erika Kirk has revealed she wears the blood-stained pendant of St. Michael that her husband Charlie was wearing when he was shot.
The small icon, with blood traces in the crevice of the cross, was ripped from Kirk’s body by medics as they attempted to stop the bleeding after he was shot at a Turning Point USA event in Utah less than two weeks ago, Erika told the New York Times.
Erika, 36, recounted how the sheriff advised against her seeing her husband’s body after the bullet had pierced his neck.

“With all due respect, I want to see what they did to my husband,” she said, recalling how she kissed him goodbye at the hospital.
“His eyes were semi-open, and he had this knowing, Mona Lisa-like half-smile. Like he’d died happy. Like Jesus rescued him. The bullet came, he blinked, and he was in heaven,” she said.
The mother-of-two also gave devastating insights into her life since Kirk’s shocking death at the hands of an assassin, revealing that she still couldn’t bring herself to wash the towels her husband had used for his last shower.
“To this day, I can’t go into my bedroom. I’m rotating where I sleep,” she said.
