New mum Jennifer Hudson says her murdered mother gave her the strength to battle through the tragedy that struck her family and emerge stronger for her baby son.The Oscar-winning actress and singer, who gave birth to little David Jnr in August, says she can feel the presence of Darnell Donerson wherever she goes.Mrs Donerson was killed in October 2008 at Jennifer's Chicago family home, along with her brother and nephew.When asked how she coped with the devastating massacre, 28-year-old Jennifer told Access Hollywood that her strength comes partly from the loved ones she has lost."The women in my family. Most of all, my mother. She was the strongest person, woman, I've ever seen."Jennifer's heartbroken sister Julia, whose seven-year-old son Julian died, has also been a pillar of strength."We're family. All we have is each other," Jennifer said.When asked how becoming a mother has changed her life, the former American Idol finalist, who is engaged to David Otunga Snr, replied: "Oh wow, well it, of course, is the most amazing thing ever. I love every minute of it."William Balfour, Hudson's estranged brother-in-law who is married to her sister Julia, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder.source: Splash News
