Sharon Osbourne opened up about her reason for not following through with the assisted suicide pact with late husband Ozzy Osbourne on Piers Morgan Uncensored
"They’ve been... unbelievably, just magnificent with me," she said of her three kids
Ozzy died on July 22 at age 76
Years before Ozzy Osbourne died, his wife, Sharon Osbourne, revealed that the couple had an assisted suicide pact in place. Now, Sharon is detailing why she didn't go through with it after his death in July at age 76.
During an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Wednesday, Dec. 10, Sharon, 73, said that their three kids Aimee, Kelly and Jack are the reason she wishes to remain alive.
"I would have just gone with Ozzy. Oh, yeah, definitely, I’ve done everything I wanted to do,” she said. "But they’ve been... unbelievably, just magnificent with me, all three of them."
Then, Sharon shared a memory that made her realize she'd never want to leave her kids behind.
“Years ago, when I had one of my mental breakdowns, I went into a little facility to help with my head,” she began.

Adding, "There were two girls over there. They didn’t know each other, but they were in there, each [of their] mothers had committed suicide. 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.”
Sharon first addressed the assisted suicide pact in her 2007 memoir Survivor: My Story - The Next Chapter, where she said that the couple would go to the Swiss, physician-assisted suicide organization, Dignitas, should either of them suffer from dementia.
The pact initially stemmed from the death of Sharon's father Don Arden — who had Alzheimer’s disease — in 2007.
“We believe 100 percent in euthanasia,” Sharon told Daily Mirror in 2007, “so [we] have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains. If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer’s, that’s it — we’d be off. We gathered the kids around the kitchen table, told them our wishes and they’ve all agreed to go with it.”
In 2014, the late "Crazy Train" singer spoke to the Daily Mirror about the subject matter — and said that it now included any "life-threatening condition."
"If I can't live my life the way I'm living it now — and I don't mean financially — then that's it...[Switzerland]," he told the outlet. "If I can't get up and go to the bathroom myself and I've got tubes up my ass and an enema in my throat, then I've said to Sharon, 'Just turn the machine off.' If I had a stroke and was paralyzed, I don't want to be here. I've made a will and it's all going to Sharon if I die before her, so ultimately it will all go to the kids."
Elsewhere in her conversation with Morgan, 60, Sharon shared how she was feeling after the death of her husband.
"Grief has now become my friend," she said. "Grief is very weird to me, you know, when you love someone that much and you’re grieving for them, it’s what I have to live with, and I’ll get used to it. I will, I have to, you know, things move on."
