Sharon Osbourne admitted she was prepared to end her own life after Ozzy’s death — a fate she says only her children prevented.
In an episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” her first interview since Ozzy’s passing, Sharon admitted she was overtaken by grief and confessed that she may have ended it all, had it not been for her kids.
“I would have just gone with Ozzy… Oh, yeah, definitely, I’ve done everything I wanted to do…” Sharon said in a clip viewed by the Daily Caller.
“But they’ve been, they’ve been, excuse me, unbelievably, just magnificent with me, all three of them,” she said.

Piers pressed Sharon further.
“They’re the reason, and their kids are the reason why you’ve got to hang in there?” he asked.
Sharon responded by candidly sharing an experience that left a lasting impression and guided her through the mourning process.
“Years ago, when I had one of my mental breakdowns, I went into a little facility to help with my head,” she told Morgan.
“And there were two girls over there — they didn’t know each other, but they were in there, each mother had committed suicide, and I saw the state that these two young women were in and what it had done to their lives, and I thought, I will never, ever, ever do that to my kids,” she said.

Sharon admitted that life without Ozzy is something she is still trying to make peace with. Speaking about the future, she said, “You know, each day I go, ‘What am I going to do with myself? What the f*ck am I going to do?’”
She went on to say she spends her time pouring over journal entries that Ozzy had written over the years, and she revealed that she honored Ozzy’s wish of being buried under a crab apple tree on the family’s estate.
Sharon told Morgan she visits with Ozzy every day and talks to him.
“And the kids do exactly the same as his son, Lewis, and Ozzy’s grandson, Elijah. Everybody goes down there and has a chat with him,” she said.

“I burn several candles in the house that are always replaced. It’s never without candles, by his pictures and just in the house.”
Sharon described the emptiness she feels by having to move on without the legendary Black Sabbath star by her side.
“It’s an ache that you wake up with, and you can’t get rid of that ache. It’s like a big hole inside of you, and the kids feel exactly the same way, and it’s just, what do you do? It’s inevitable that it happens to all of us.”
Sharon is currently working on a film about Ozzy’s life.
