Sharon Osbourne has revealed her deep struggle with grief following the death of her late husband, Black Sabbath icon Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away in July aged 76 after a heart attack and a long battle with Parkinson's disease. Opening up on the family's podcast, which recently returned after nearly a year to honor the rockstar, Sharon confessed to her children, Jack and Kelly Osbourne, that she "hates going to bed at night" since Ozzy's passing.

Kelly Osbourne shared her own experiences with grief, admitting she slept with her mother for the first two months to ensure she wasn't alone. She described mornings as the hardest part of her day, explaining, "I wake up and for the first three seconds I feel normal. And then I remember everything. Mornings are the hardest for me. What is the morning? Because it happened in the morning. And I used to spend most of my time with Dad in the morning." Kelly, 41, expressed her unpreparedness for the "horrible" reality of losing her father, despite his years of ill health. She tearfully reflected on the immense love and profound missing she feels, stating, "I never realised just how horrible grief is. I never knew I was capable of loving somebody so much and missing somebody so much. I just, I never thought there'd be a day where he wouldn't be here." Despite the pain, Sharon acknowledged the blessing of having had such a father.

Both Kelly and Jack found solace in their children during this difficult time. Kelly expressed gratitude that her son, Sidney, had a special relationship with Ozzy, noting, "I'm just so grateful that Sidney got to meet him. And that they had such a special little relationship. If it wasn't for my baby boy…" Jack, preparing for 'I'm a Celebrity', added that grief, while horrible, is also beautiful in how it forces introspection and gratitude. He emphasized cherishing moments often taken for granted, stating, "It is both horrible and beautiful in the way that it forces you to unpack and examine things. Like, yeah, it sucks that he's gone, but also, for me, it has led to a huge amount of gratitude and love and like really cherishing moments that at the time you take for granted."

The family was also deeply moved by the public outpouring of love for Ozzy, an aspect Sharon believes Ozzy himself would not have fully comprehended. Kelly remarked on the profound help this widespread support provided, saying, "The outpouring of love has been so helpful to us. I never could have even imagined it to be as helpful as it has been to know that we're not alone in our grief, in our sadness and that the rest of the world loved him as much as we did… I haven't seen an outpouring like that since Princess Diana died. I didn't expect it." Sharon affirmed this sentiment, stating, "Ozzy, he wouldn't believe it. He wouldn't. He didn't realise how much he was loved and that was his beauty because he never took it for granted from anyone. He never took it for granted I'm this, I'm that. He had no idea."
