Sharon Osbourne recently opened up about her past discussions regarding an assisted suicide pact with her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne. In interviews leading up to Ozzy’s death, she expressed that they had considered seeking assistance from the Swiss organization Dignitas if either were to suffer from dementia. Her candid remarks reflect a deep understanding of their situation, as she stated, “I would have just gone with Ozzy. Oh, yeah, definitely, I’ve done everything I wanted to do.”
Despite their initial agreement, Sharon ultimately decided against following through on the pact. The couple’s three children—Aimee, Kelly, and Jack—played a significant role in her change of heart. “They’ve been…unbelievably, just magnificent with me, all three of them,” she emphasized while discussing her family’s support during challenging times.
Sharon recounted a formative experience that influenced her decision. Years ago, during a period of personal crisis, she was in a mental health facility where she encountered two young women whose mothers had taken their own lives. “I saw the state that these two young women were in and what it had done to their lives,” she recalled. “I thought, I will never, ever, ever do that to my kids.” This poignant moment helped her recognize the lasting impact such a decision could have on her children.
In her discussions, Sharon also highlighted the importance of mental health resources, particularly the 988 Lifeline, which offers confidential support 24/7. This resource serves as a vital tool for individuals grappling with thoughts of suicide or mental health struggles.
During a recent appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” she shared intimate details about her husband’s final moments. Reflecting on their last night together, she recalled, “He was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was like 4:30 a.m., and he said, ‘Wake up.’ I said, ‘I’m already bloody awake, you’ve woken me up.’” Sharon’s recollections reveal a profound connection and poignant memories that have shaped her life since Ozzy’s passing.
Sharon’s honesty about these difficult topics serves not only to honor her late husband but also to shed light on the complexities surrounding assisted suicide and mental health. As she navigates her grief, her reflections provide insight into the emotional turmoil and the decisions that families face during such critical times.
