For the first time since her son Michael Blosil's suicide, Marie Osmond opened up on a recent episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show about her feelings surrounded his death.
Fighting back tears, Osmond talked about their last conversation before he died. "When I heard him say to me, I have no friends, it brought back when I went through depression, because you really feel so alone. I told him, I said, 'Mike, I'm gonna be there Monday and it'd gonna be OK.' But depression doesn't wait 'til Monday." In fact, that same day Blosil jumped to his death from the roof of his Los Angeles apartment building.
When asked if she had ever wondered about what she could have done differently, Osmond replied: "I think there's always 'what if's. What if I had just put him on a plane and said come be with me, or gone there? I think if you live in 'what if's' you stop living."
Blosil, who was one of five children adopted by Osmond, had been battling with substance abuse and depression following his parents' divorce in 2007. He was a first-year student at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.
God bless you sweet Marie. . .
