It changes shape. It becomes the quiet weight you learn to carry, the ache woven into your days. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Making it through doesn&#8217;t mean leaving it behind. It means finding the strength to live and love and keep going even with forever resting in your heart. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When grief feels endless and disastrous, like it&#8217;s unmaking you from the inside out, surviving isn&#8217;t about conquering it. It&#8217;s about enduring it.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s about standing in the wreckage of your own heart and whispering, &#8216;I am still here,&#8217; even when every part of you feels shattered and like you don&#8217;t want to be here! (sic)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIn September 2025, Kelly said falconry has helped her to cope with the grief of losing Ozzy &#8211; who had a series of health problems and was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe wrote on Instagram: &#8220;In all my sadness and grief I have found something that truly makes me happy! I never thought I would find my smile again through falconry but I did. I absolutely love being with the birds. (sic)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nKelly&#8217;s post also featured a series of photos and videos of herself with the birds.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn one of the video posts, Kelly tells an owl: &#8220;You are great!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd fan support has also helped the singer and her family &#8211; including sister Aimee Osbourne, 42, brother Jack Osbourne, 40, and 73-year-old mom Sharon Osbourne &#8211; navigate the heartbreak.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn August 2025, Kelly typed on the social media platform: &#8220;I\u2019ve sat down to write this a hundred times and still don\u2019t know if the words will ever feel like enough \u2026 but from the bottom of my heart, thank you.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;The love, support and beautiful messages I\u2019ve received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain. (sic)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Osbournes star said grief &#8220;sneaks up on you in waves&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nKelly added: &#8220;Grief is a strange thing. It sneaks up on you in waves &#8211; I will not be OK for a while &#8211; but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019m holding on tight to the love, the light and the legacy left behind.&#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\/kelly-osbourne-describes-grief-quiet-weight-seven-months-after-dad-ozzy-osbournes-death-1438047.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21 February 2026 Kelly Osbourne says grief is a &#8220;quiet weight you learn to carry&#8221;.
