"I had talked to him last night and it was disturbing to me, it was the first time I'd heard to mourn and say he was alone, had no friends, feeling despair," Osmond said Thursday, "The Oprah Winfrey Show. "
words of Michael "raised many red flags" for Osmond. "When I heard him say 'I have no friends," brought back when I went through depression, "says Osmond, who suffered post-partum depression, increased tears." I said, Mike, I'll be there on Monday, and that will be fine. But depression is not expected until Monday. "
Michael tried to call his mother that night, about 45 minutes before dying, but she was on stage with brother Donnie Osmond doing his show in Las Vegas. When he could not reach her mother called her sister Rachel, and spoke briefly. Osmond tried to call his son back after he finished with a meet and greet that night, but he did not respond.
She says she had a bad feeling that night and asked his daughter to stay at the hotel with her. "I believe in intuition of a mother. I said, 'I do not want to be alone tonight. At two o'clock the phone rang." It was the security guard at the door of his house, saying that the coroner's office had come to talk to her. "And I knew that it was Mike," he says.
Understandably, she continues, "I have been through difficult things in my life, Oprah. This is probably the hardest thing I ever had."
Osmond other children have helped because it has to be strong for them.
She makes clear that his son was not depressed to the outside until he started using drugs at age 12. "When your child says, 'Mom, I feel good today, I'm sick to my stomach," you think you have the flu. When you sleep much to think, 'Oh, are becoming, is puberty. They are good at hiding things. We have all the knowledge in the world, but it is the wisdom we need to find. "
Osmond shares some of the contents of the suicide note that left his friend Michael. "He basically said he knew that morning was the last time you get up and brush your teeth, eat breakfast, make your bed, dressing, that sort of thing. He had made the decision, I suppose. And that he loved his family but the pain was so intense, "he says.
downtrend of Michael was strong and unexpected. "He was an F, but rose to 3.9. He got into one of the toughest schools, very artistic. He was in love, I knew I was not going anywhere. One of his other dear friends that had just married -. day my son? wow, was, like, want the perfect man who was my son chivalrous, they added, the honest woman, treated his sister with respect, and his brothers, he would be the first to say .. " Mom is tired, garbage. "
He had attempted suicide, while Osmond was on "Dancing With the Stars."
"Dancing with the starving," he jokes. "I'll tell ya. I was going through a very public divorce, going through a custody battle, my father died, and my son went to rehab. He had received very bad news for some things that had happened to members family and could not deal with it. He loved his family. He promised he would never do something like that again, and I believed him. "
Marie's brother, Donnie, also spoke with Oprah. "My relationship with Mary is probably stronger now than ever. There are times when I hear her crying in the hallway, and then a few minutes later I hear her laugh. She is trying to get out of this abyss that is in"
Donnie breaks to mourn talking about her nephew. "I had no idea how much pain there was in him, but he covered well. It's unfortunate that had to end like this."
