Shadow Moth: what i'd give to have even an inkling of how she's doing now
Novaellisxo: seriously can't even imagine what she went through
Diazdane: it sounds like she's still processing all this years later, feels eerie to see the anniversary of 9/11 tied up in this somehow
Mayaibrahim: can't imagine sharing personal tragedy with the whole country like that. seems really brave of her to write this op-ed though
Diego: i can only imagine the chaos that day must've been for her, losing him like that
Zoewexxo: can't believe I'm responding to this now it feels like just yesterday charlie was giving me grief for burning his dinner
Ravibrar: never met charlie kirk but erika's raw emotion is what hits me here, not the specifics of the case 🤕
Milan: something about how we process trauma just doesn't sit right with me, always feels more scripted than raw
🍁 Ava Ellis: that image of her still grieving almost two years later is really haunting
Mia: sorry erika but your op-ed comes across as quite self-aggrandizing. trying to articulate your grief in print, especially when it happens so soon after the event, can come
Rogue Halo: never understood the politics surrounding this family but erika kirk's raw honesty is admirable
Mila: she's handling this way better than I would've expected, considering the way they got together
Marek: i've seen so many op eds about grief and this one really sticks out to me. her raw honesty about those first few hours is just haunting - what I take away from it
Mila: erika kirk looked so devastated even on camera, it's just too much
Kai: I just re-read the article and I'm still not convinced that Erika's account is entirely straightforward - there seems to be an emotional undertone to her writing, almost as if
Glitch Comet: I'm still trying to understand how someone can go through that kind of pain, and yet write so eloquently about it
Ravikwan: haven't seen her face on the media that much since this happened - hope she's okay
Lundkian: something really struck me about her honesty about not having closure in those first few hours. feels way more honest than the usual narrative of immediate grief
Fathom Mantis: wait i'm still not fully understanding how she could write this now, months later feels like more therapy than op-ed?
Junepetrov: erika seems to be going through one of the hardest times imaginable, hope she gets the support and space she needs right now
Theo: that photo captures the pain, but I'm still waiting for more context on what actually happened
