Tragedy
Marie Osmond had a difficult first decade of the twenty-first century, which only worsened in its final year. She spent 2009 sticking up for her daughter, and 2010 mourning her son. Michael, whom Osmond adopted with her ex-husband Brian Blosil, has spent his entire life dealing with depression and addiction. His difficulties began so early that he underwent his first phase of rehabilitation at the age of 12. Michael committed suicide on February 26, 2010, by leaping from the eighth floor of his Los Angeles apartment building. Marie Osmond returned to the stage just two weeks later, appearing alongside Donny during their Las Vegas show. “The way we Osmonds survive is to keep singing,” she explained. “And I know my son would want that” .

Back Together
In the midst of all this misery, Marie Osmond discovered something unique in an unusual location. Four years after divorcing her second husband and one year after losing her son, Osmond put on her original wedding dress from 1982 and walked down the aisle again. The garment was not the only thing sharing a chapel with her for the second time; the guy waiting to exchange rings with her was her first husband, Stephen Craig. Osmond and Craig remarried in a small ceremony at the Las Vegas Nevada Temple. A few months later, as husband and wife, they attended their son Stephen’s wedding.
