Sharon Osbourne Says She Did Not Follow Through on Assisted-Suicide Pact After Ozzy’s Death

She says her three children and a memory of the harm parental suicide causes convinced her to stay alive.

Overview

  • In a Dec. 10 interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Sharon Osbourne said Aimee, Kelly, and Jack gave her a reason to keep living after Ozzy died in July at 76.
  • She recalled meeting two young women in a mental health facility whose mothers had died by suicide, an experience she said she would never inflict on her children.
  • Sharon first disclosed the couple’s pact in her 2007 memoir, describing plans to seek Switzerland’s Dignitas if either developed dementia.
  • Ozzy later said in 2014 that the pact extended to any life-threatening condition that left him unable to live independently.
  • Sharon described learning to live with loss, saying, “Grief has now become my friend,” as she continues to speak publicly about her husband’s death.
