Superstar Mariah Carey disclosed that her mother, Patricia Carey, and sister, Alison Carey, died on the same day, causing an unimaginable sadness.
The Grammy Award-winning musician confirmed that two of her close relatives had passed away over the weekend in a message she sent.
Carey said, “I lost my mother this past weekend, and it broke my heart,” according to PEOPLE.
“Unfortunately, my sister passed away on the same day due to a tragic turn of events.”
It goes without saying that going through such a deep loss is an almost unequaled experience, but Carey did thank God she was able to spend time with her mother before she passed away.
The singer of All I Want For Christmas expressed gratitude for having spent the final week of her life with her mother.
“During this impossible time, I appreciate everyone’s love, support, and respect for my privacy.”
The causes of mother Patricia’s and sister Alison’s deaths remain unknown as of the time of writing. Prior to having daughters Alison and Mariah and son Morgan with Alfred Roy Carey, Patricia was a Juilliard-trained opera singer and voice instructor. When Mariah was three years old, her parents got divorced.
The We Belong Together hitmaker and her mother reportedly had a tumultuous relationship, according to PEOPLE.
“Like many aspects of my life, my journey with my mother has been full of contradictions and competing realities,” Mariah Carey said in her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey. It’s always been a rainbow of feelings rather than just black and white.
Also strained was the singer’s relationship with Alison, at least as of the release of her previously mentioned memoir. Carey stated that it was “emotionally and physically safer for me not to have any contact” with her siblings in the book’s pages.
We are sending Mariah Carey our love and strength. Coping with the death of a loved one is really tough, but having two die away on the same day?
A 4-year-old girl disappeared from the yard of her house one morning
One morning, a 4-year-old girl vanished from her home’s yard. For the past 48 hours, the family and neighbors have been searching the adjacent woodland for her. When the police arrived on the scene, they began questioning everyone about whether they had seen the girl, but none had.
The parents’ desperation was growing, and they were terrified that something horrible might happen to their young daughter.
Over a five-mile radius, the police visited every home in an effort to find the missing girl, searching day and night without stopping.
The girl had a drastically decreasing chance of survival with every hour that went by.
The neighbors discovered a stray pit bull hiding next to a tree in the midst of the forest on the third day of the search. The dog growled at their attempts to approach, preventing anyone from getting close to him.
Upon closer inspection, they saw that the dog was attempting to defend the girl who had gone missing. YES, THEY FOUND HER!
The dog was obviously squatting next to the girl in the woods, trying to protect and warm her, however it is unknown how much time they spent together.
The girl was extremely hungry and dehydrated, but she was unharmed. After being brought to the hospital, her condition was improved by the medical staff.
The girl’s family later adopted the puppy, whom they gave the name Joy.
Because the pit bull was able to keep the girl safe, he was hailed as a hero.
Nobody ever imagined that a dog could have such keen instincts as to sense the child’s danger and instinctively know how to protect it.
Joy once again shown to the girl’s parents how much wiser and more loving dogs may be than people realize. For this, the parents are grateful.
