Erika Kirk is opening up about choosing faith to carry her grief and sharing the emotional Sabbath ritual her husband Charlie created for her each week.<\/p>\n

“He used to write me a letter every single Saturday, during the Sabbath,” Kirk said Tuesday on Fox News Radio\u2019s “Brian Kilmeade Show.”<\/a><\/p>\n

“So this book now is my love letter for the rest of my life,” added Kirk, who was discussing “Stop, in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life,” the final book her husband ever wrote.<\/p>\n

Kirk described the book\u2019s publication<\/a> as a “bittersweet” moment, knowing these are her husband\u2019s final public words, and said the process has forced her to confront her own grief while leaning on her faith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Charlie Kirk was shot and killed<\/a> on the campus of Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. He left behind Erika and their two young children.<\/p>\n

Erika Kirk called watching videos of her husband with their children “gut-wrenching” but noted that in dark moments there\u2019s a choice to make.<\/p>\n

“Life is tough,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It is beautiful, but it is tough. And you are [going to] have to find a way. And anyone who has been through hell and back knows this.”<\/p>\n

Kirk acknowledged the lowest points of her grief, but said those dark moments forced her to make a conscious decision to lean on her Christian faith.<\/p>\n

“Are you [going to] go into the corner and be in the fetal position and just let it happen and cry and cry and cry? Yes, there are moments to cry, yes,” she said.<\/p>\n

“But are you going to turn that moment into something and say, you know what? ‘God, give me grace. Please give me grace. I don’t know what I’m [going to] do. I don’t know how I’m [going to] do it, but I know that you will put one foot in front of the other, and you will help me get through this, Lord.'”<\/p>\n

Kirk said her decision to lean on faith<\/a> carried her into some of the most difficult moments following her husband\u2019s death, including speaking at his memorial.<\/p>\n

The memorial was attended by tens of thousands at a stadium in Arizona<\/a>. Ahead of her remarks, Kirk described listening to worship music and praying before her speech at the event.<\/p>\n

She explained the “overwhelming” support she felt once she stepped onstage.<\/p>\n

“When you hear [a stadium] singing hallelujah, that is a slice of heaven on earth that I don’t think anyone will ever be able to put into words. It was unbelievably powerful,” she said.<\/p>\n

Charlie Kirk\u2019s final book<\/a> explores how observing the Sabbath, a day of rest practiced in several faiths, changed his life and family dynamic.<\/p>\n

It outlines Kirk\u2019s guidance on quieting the daily noise consuming American life by spending one day a week detached from work, society and social media, and being fully present with one\u2019s family<\/a> and loved ones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
