Family and friends rallied to Charles' support after he lost his wife, and in the year after her death, he spoke to People and revealed how he was coping.

He revealed Kira suffered severe complications that resulted from the C-section and was in pain. However, she never complained and smiled through the pain until her death.

Charles noted he and his sons have been surrounded by love since his wife's passing and said that without his family and everyone supporting him, he would not have been able to go through it.
