Jennifer Hudson finally speaks on death of her family members

Golden voiced singer, Jennifer Hudson has finally opened up on the tragedy that struck her in 2008. Precisely on October 28 of that year, Hudson's mother and 29-year-old brother were gunned down in her hometown Chicago, while her seven-year-old nephew was reported missing from the home, but the child’s body with ‘multiple gunshot wounds’ was found dead in the back of an abandoned SUV days later.

J. Huddy has been silent all through the years on the heartache she felt until recently.

Speaking to Guardian Observer;

I have definitely seen the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows.You don’t know how strong you are until you are placed in that kind of moment.If I close my eyes, I can almost remember what it was like, what I was like, 15 years ago.
I was at home in Chicago, still in high school, singing in church, living with my family.But generally, no, it feels like another Jennifer life. I don’t look the same. I’m a mother now. So many things have changed. I sometimes think the only constant is my voice. That hasn’t gone away.’

Her former brother-in-law, William Balfour, received three life sentences in July 2012 following his conviction in the Hudson family murders.
