Marie Osmond on 'Oprah': Opens Up the can of sorrows


Marie Osmond - Marie Osmond with a massively emotional output, opened up to Oprah about the suicide of her adopted son Michael back in March. I find her story quite touching.

Before he died, Marie’s son Michael told her that he had no friends. According to a recent nydailynews.com article by Caroline Culbertson, 51-year old Osmond told Oprah that when she heard him say that, it brought back memories of when she went through depression.

Marie then continued her heartfelt recollection of events, and said that she had told Michael that she would be with him on the Monday and everything was going to be okay. However, she then went on to say: “But depression doesn’t wait until Monday.”

Osmond said that Michael appeared to be getting better in 2009 and was even planning to go to college. Things obviously weren’t as they appeared with him however, as the 18-year old committed suicide by jumping from his apartment building in Los Angeles.

You need to see the video, I couldn't quite describe how she felt.
