For children, she said, grieving was about “making sure that their spirit is always alive in your home”.

“It’s – you know – explaining to my kid just because he’s not present here with us physically, doesn’t mean his presence isn’t here with us,” she told the anchors, who commended her for being an amazing mother.

A KPCW article alleges that Kouri was after the money in his life insurance policy and had tried to kill her husband on many occasions, often through supposed poisoned drinks:

One of Eric’s two sisters told investigators he had called her a few years ago from Greece. While he and Kouri were on vacation, a drink she handed him made him violently ill.

…Court filings say on Valentine’s Day in 2022, Eric suffered an allergic reaction after having dinner with Kouri. He broke out in hives, couldn’t breathe and passed out after using his son’s EpiPen and taking Benadryl.

Before his death by overdose, Eric apparently changed the beneficiary of his will and his power of attorney, replacing Kouri with his sister.

A warrant states he didn’t tell Kouri about the change because, according to his sisters, he believed Kouri might “kill him for the money” and wanted their kids to be financially secure.

It is alleged that he was planning to file for divorce, but he died before he could make that happen.
