  "account": "More than a year has passed since the passing of heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne, but his wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, still visits his grave daily. Sharon acknowledges that grieving never truly ends; instead, one learns to live with the loss. She shares that the family collected cards and messages left at public memorials, as well as floral tributes from the throngs who attended Ozzy's public funeral procession, in his hometown of Birmingham, England, on July 30, 2025. After the burial on July 22 at age 76, the flowers were composted into their family garden at their 250-acre estate in Buckinghamshire, while the items were sorted and photographed. Sharon explains that she chose not to bury Ozzy in a public graveyard so that he could truly rest, free from the constant flow of visitors. When asked about how often she visits her husband's grave, Sharon simply replies that she does so every day, as she can see him from her window. Sharon also reveals that she maintains regular conversations with her late husband, although she does not disclose what they discuss. She fondly recalls Ozzy's happiness just a few months before his death, when, disregarding his doctor's advice, he played a triumphant solo show at his beloved Villa park football pitch in Birmingham. Despite his ongoing health issues, including back problems and Parkinson's disease, Ozzy was overjoyed by the reception. \"He was online going through the reviews and saying, 'There's something terribly wrong,' and I'm like, 'why?'\" Sharon recalls. \"He goes, 'I didn't get slagged by anybody. Why are people being nice to me?'\" Her husband's happiness after the show reflected the love and appreciation he had garnered from fans throughout his career.",
