  Do you realize she is under contract and cannot take off anymore time right now?! She is NOT laking in emotion for goodness sakes! If she didn't resturn when they said she had to she'd be sued millions of dollars! Stop judging when you don't even know what you are talking about!!

  I feel sorry, but I do think this is the reason you shouldn't have too many kids, all of them would feel lost at some time, but you don't really have the time to listen.

  I can not believe any one would think one childs life is more importatnt than another no matter how they may die. Every childs life is precious. Marie and family my deepest sympathy to you all

  Thank the Good Lord that most of the posts are from well wishes. However, it's VERY troubling to read the posts that questions her judgement about going back to work after the funeral. Lest you walk in her shoes shut the hell up! There is no "right" or "wrong" way to grief. Everyone does it differently. She probably would love to crawl in a corner and die but she has people that love her and depend on her, therefore she goes on. Personally I admire Marie and her family for banding together during family problems. That's the way families should respond to each other. I've had a couple of sucides in my immediate family and believe me that's one club you don't EVER want to be in.

  Though this is tragic, Marie needs to do what she needs to do for herself. Sometimes sitting around with too much time to think is not good and I agree 100% with "R" and my heart goes out to Julie...

  My thoughts and prayers go out to Marie Osmond and family, such a tragedy. Life today is so complicated at least he's in a safer place now smiling from above.

  My nephew hung himself at 21. No one can appreciate what its like until you live through it. Its a hole in your heart that you try & fill every day 4 the rest of your life. Working & keeping busy helps & its their business anyway. They wont forget but the support & love of those around you dulls the ache albeit temporarily. If the Osmond family go back to work then it's their business. You can see how the family is grieving so rather than judge the young man or his family why not show them respect, support & prayers. They will need everything to get through it. God speed to them all.

  I went back to work 2 weeks after my son died by suicide. It saved me from thinking about it 24/7 and my friends and bosses were so comforting. When I got home was when the tears really flowed and flowed.

  Who are we to judge another person after the death of their child??? Keeping busy can be a blessing and "R" is correct about many other people depending on Donnie and Marie to work. I doubt their contract would let them take off more time, either.

  Vegas contracts are NOT negotiable, you are allowed a limited time off for a death in the family, but Marie can be sued for millions if she doesn't fulfill the contract. She's not the millionaire everyone thinks she is. And YES there are more people than you know who depend on the paycheck from the Donny & Marie show, people who literally live paycheck to paycheck. If she doesn't perform, they don't eat, and jobs are hard to come by. Middle America is much different from a showbiz job. You don't know what Marie is going through, and I bet Marie wouldn't wish her heartache on any of you, no matter how evil you are to her on these message boards. Do us all a favor and go hug your kids, spend more time with them instead of bashing people you don't know on anonymous message boards.

  Going back to work the very next day?! Wow.. that's cold..

  Deepest sympathy to the family...I couldn't imagine losing my child, especially to suicide.....May his soul find peace and contentment. Very sad....

• March 05, 2010 - 5:11pm Jill Says:

  I'm not saying that all of you feel this way, but how can some of you be so mean? This woman just lost her son. Maybe actually keeping busy is a way of dealing with her grief. I honestly don't think it has really hit her yet. How would some of you feel if you lost a child and people criticized you for going back to work. Put yourself in her shoes before you start talking about what she should/shouldn't do.

  As someone who has suffered from chronic depression since my twenties, I can say wholeheartedly that suicide is NOT a choice. Depression causes the type of emotional pain that you can't even begin to imagine. You find you can't communicate, cope or problem solve, thus an end to the pain in any form seems reasonable. If you've never experienced depression, there's no way you can empathize and understand this. Depression is a medical condition and requires treatment just like any other disease. To dismiss this young man's pain because he committed suicide is not logical and certainly unfeeling.

• March 05, 2010 - 4:38pm PVH Says:

  She is going back to work because she is under contract which is legally binding. I am sure if she needed more time they would give it to her, maybe this will help her, she love her son, she is in pain, please do not judge her at this awful time, let her have some peace. I have stuggled with depression its very difficult and people who dont have it dont understand its a disease and I totally stand behind the Osmonds and send them my love, Michael I hope has found peace at last. God Bless you Michael. God bless the Osmond family.

  If you talk to grief specialists, they'll tell you that, especially after the loss of a child, parents often want to go immediately back to work. They'll also tell you that children need to return to some sort of normalcy as soon as possible. Marie herself has fought depression and the last things her kids need is their Mom moping around the house sinking deeper into depression. It's been over a week. She works 2 hours a night, 5 days a week, during which time they spend some of that time at the theater. I applaud Marie for fighting and going on for her other children.

  What is wrong with you people? Marie herself has to decide what to do, and when to go back to work. She is a PROFESSIONAL and realizes that they have a lot of people that are depending on a paycheck through work at that show. D&M aren't the only ones making money there. Wait staff, lighting, the band, dancers, the entire organization is depending on them. Marie is one of the most giving people in the world, and having met and conversed with her several times, I know this for fact. She doesn't feel as if she is the only one that has lost parents or gotten divorced, but the interviewers ask! What would you say about her if she didn't talk about it. Marie is wonderful and it will take her a very very long time to get over this. God bless you Marie and your children. Richard

  I would agree that Marie should think twice about going back to work the next day; she doesn't need the money that bad. It reminds me of Johnny Cash in his autobiography talking about his brother dying when they were young boys. He said he never got over that his parents were in the cotton fields the next day after the funeral. They had to be; they were poor. I think marie gets too much press and she often acts like she's the only one to ever lose a parent, get a divorce, etc.

  Suicide is greed and selfish. Donnie and Marie need to take more time off. Contracts in LV are negotiable, right?
