…you saw this close up and intimate moment of videotaped Erika Kirk over her husband’s cold body?
My story: I experienced my first husband’s untimely and unexpected death when he was just 25 and I was 20. His family wanted a traditional funeral with a two-day open-casket wake. I agreed to it. But the moment saw him lying there, cold and covered in make-up, it was very difficult for me to approach him, let alone touch his rock hard and cold hand. The shock of losing him was mind-blowing and I was in an emotionally numb state. I wanted to be as far away from the coffin as possible. It freaked me out.
Had there been video cameras (phones) at that time, I absolutely would not have wanted a show of me grieving over his cold lifeless remains. How classless would that have been?
I watched this video of Erika Kirk and was reminded of my moment and struck by how put-on and phony it seemed. Why on earth would she have someone videotape an intimate moment like that? So the world could see what was done to her Charlie, Baby?
Ok, maybe I understand that. But it seemed way over the top and in really bad taste. What an actress, I thought. Even Jackie Kennedy, the wife of an assassinated US president, wouldn’t have done that publicly, and didn’t.
What are your thoughts?

I can’t watch this video for longer than 3 seconds. It’s the most insufferable thing I’ve seen in years.
Trying to do as much as possible to emotionally manipulate us. I’ll admit, I was manipulated. I was upset for weeks. Now I’m just pissed my emotions were played with.
I’ve been married to my husband for 9 years, and we’ve shared 17 years together. This video is absolutely disgusting. I can’t even comprehend the twisted thinking behind it because it’s that repulsive. No one would actually do this!
Unfortunately, my child and I stood by casket FROZEN. When we saw this video for the first time we were mortified. The last thing on our minds was recording our moment with him before the final goodbye.
I lost my elder brother who was electrocuted and he had an open casket I viewed. If someone had of come in to film his body or me grieving I would have thrown them through the window I was so upset. This is just not real.
It is digusting. I lost my husband almost 5 years ago now and when I said my final goodbyes on the day of the cremation, it was a very private moment between my forever love and me.
People may do crazy things when they lose their loved ones. Especially for the first few days.
They sure do. But nobody says “hey can you film me doing it while I drape myself over a corpse for publicity.” If they do, show me the video.
Take off those brass knuckle of diamonds and gold. And your dabbing your dry eyes with that hanky. You’re on the book tour to make money.
She’s madder at Candace than the guy who didn’t shoot Charlie. “I forgive him”… of course she forgives him. He didn’t do it. We see your ugly side now, sis. And it’s ugly. If eyes are the window to the soul, your soul is black.
Eyes are the window to the soul. Your eyes are black, and evil looking.
Ericka would be a super star in one of those old soap operas my mom used to watch.
She is very cringe worthy.
You folks all need to take a deep breath…none of us knows what’s really going on right now…
My my, it’s pretty revealing getting the impressions from other women.
One of the things EK does which makes me feel suspicious is that normal voice expressing some words, then that whispery voice to express others.
In various interviews at different times.
I don’t know,,, That’s weird.
I remember a video of CK telling about his first meeting with her, how he knew he wanted to marry her.
So I wonder if there’s any record, or private texts to a friend, (Ehem) where one might have expressed feelings about how it’s all going.
Wow! I cannot believe the hate spewed towards Erika! Who are we to judge? I just might do the same thing in the course of dealing with the terrible grief of losing my husband in such a manner! Matthew 7:1-3 KJV – Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you.
The Bible describes discernment as the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, truth and falsehood, and to make wise decisions guided by God’s wisdom. Key verses emphasize the importance of seeking God’s guidance and relying on the Holy Spirit to develop this skill in our lives.
