Jennifer Hudson opens up about how she ‘pressed on’ after the murders of her mother, brother and nephew. The 2008 murders of Jennifer’s family members at the hands of her sister Julia’s estranged husband, William Balfour. The Oscar-winning star says that, despite her grief, she’s focused on not letting the tragedy upend her own life. “I think I attribute that first to God, next to [the fact that] when you experience trauma, it comes and goes. It’s always there. But it’s a matter of how you deal with it,” says Jennifer. That’s not to say that Hudson isn’t still mourning. Of course you still get sad,” she shared. “[But] that’s what I go back to: What would my mother say? What would she do?”

William Balfour was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences for the fatal shootings.
