In a report by PEOPLE, a source shared how Sharon is doing.

“Sharon’s heartbroken but very proud of the life the family built together,” the source who is close to the family tells the outlet. “Everyone’s rallying around her. She’s been the rock of this family for decades, and now it’s her turn to be held up.”

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have been married since 1982 and share three children: Aimee, Kelly, and Jack.

According to the source, Sharon’s children have been by her side, offering support as she mourns her husband’s passing.

“The kids are making sure she’s never alone — they’ve been with her constantly, sharing stories, laughing through the tears and just being together. There’s a lot of pain, but also a lot of comfort from the family time that they got to enjoy up until the very end.”

In their last year together, Ozzy and Sharon moved back to his home country of England. There, they were able to enjoy some quiet time in privacy before his final days.

“Sharon had wanted to move back to England for years, especially as she got older. England was always home for them, but it became more than that,” the source had shared. “It was about creating peace and the best life possible together in their final chapter. The path back to England wasn’t easy. His health has been fragile for years. … It was a gift, because they got a year and half together, at home.”
