On February 26, 2010, country music performer and talk show presenter Marie Osmond had just wrapped up her set at the Flamingo Las Vegas. She headed to her room to take a little snooze after her performance but was roused by a call from her home security guard.
He informed her that the coroner’s office had sent several persons to visit her. She understood the nature of the call at that very time. In reference to her son Michael Blosil, the fourth-oldest of her eight children, Osmond said to Oprah that she knew it was Mike. He was also one of the five kids she and her ex-husband had adopted.
Blosil allegedly plunged to his death from his apartment’s eighth level. When he took his own life, the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising student was just 18 years old. The unhappy adolescent had also written in his message that he had battled depression for a very long time. Osmond recalled her adored son by saying, of all her kids, he was perhaps the easiest. He was a lot of fun, adorable and a sweetie. He didn’t see a change in his kid until he began using drugs.
Blosil began misusing narcotics at the age of 12, which caused him to often enter and exit rehab. But the singer announced in 2009 that her son had turned his life around. Blosil was not under the influence of any narcotics when he fell to his death, according to the toxicology study produced after his death.
Osmond’s son constantly assured her that he was doing fine, so she had no clue he was struggling with such problems. Michael even admitted to her that when they last met, he had “never been happier” in his life. However, Blosil had contacted her the day before he passed away and seemed upset. It was the first time she overheard him express he was lonely and began to weep because he lacked pals that he was dejected, disclosed Osmond. She assured him that everything would be well and that she will be there on Monday. Depression, however, doesn’t wait until Monday.
Osmond recognized the struggles her son would have had and the reasons he might have chosen to terminate his life because she had also dealt with depression. She supposed he had already made that choice. Despite his love for his family, the agony was too great, she said. She stated that due to her age, she had no suicidal thoughts, but that sort of age is not behind youngsters when they are 18 years old, nothing appears possible.
She and her brother, Donny Osmond, resumed their Las Vegas performance two weeks after the passing of their son. The visibly upset singer informed the crowd that the stage was her “safe spot.” She informed the crowd during one of her concerts, she knew her kid would appreciate it. That’s how Osmonds thrive.
She expressed that she thinks some individuals are afraid of it, but not her. And she was aware that if she didn’t return to the stage, she might never do it again. She continued by saying that she was finding it difficult to maintain her strength in the wake of her son’s passing. She has experienced some difficult situations in her life. She thinks this has been the hardest thing she has ever experienced, added Osmond.
When questioned about what she could have done to preserve her kid, she responded, for her, there are always “what ifs.” What if she had just told him to board a plane and go with her or gone there? If one dwells on “what ifs,” one ceases to live, in her opinion.
