More than a year after Ozzy Osbourne’s death at 76, Sharon Osbourne is opening up about grief in a way that’s hitting fans right in the heart. In a new BBC interview, she revealed she visits Ozzy’s grave every single day, and she can see his resting place from her window at the family’s Buckinghamshire estate. The family chose a private home burial on their 250-acre Welders House property instead of a public graveyard, so Ozzy could rest in peace.
The details don’t stop there. The family collected, sorted and photographed every memorial card and message from the Birmingham tributes, preserving the outpouring of love from fans. The funeral flowers were composted into the estate garden, meaning the grounds around their home now carry a living piece of that memorial. Sharon also recalled Ozzy’s final performance at Villa Park, the all-star Back to the Beginning show he played against his doctor’s wishes, and how he went online afterward, genuinely baffled that no reviewer had a bad word for him.
Her outlook on loss is simple and honest:“You never get over it. But you learn to live with it, and that’s what I’m trying to do.”How do you think we should honor the legends we lose? Tell us in the comments.
