I lost all my money. I lost custody of my child. I lost my career. I lost all those things that you feel are your real identity and your life.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I never really got most of it back, but I&#8217;ve reached a point where I&#8217;m okay with it, where I really do recognise that I&#8217;m enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nSharon admits that it was tough to come to terms with her illness as she felt that she was supposed to be &#8220;taking care of everybody else&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe explained: &#8220;I come from a very broken family. I grew up believing that taking care of everybody else was what I was supposed to do. It took me a long time to understand that I had a life of my own and that I didn&#8217;t have to fix it for everybody else, and that it was okay for me to receive care, for me to be enough as a disabled person.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I feel proud of myself and proud of my accomplishments &#8211; from surviving to helping others survive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/sharon-stone-mourns-death-mother-dorothy-1422374.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>22 July 2025 Sharon Stone&#8216;s mother has passed away.
