Following the simultaneous deaths of her sister Alison and mother Patricia over the weekend, Mariah Carey is going through a “impossible time.”
The 55-year-old diva Mariah Carey stated on Monday that her sister Alison Carey and mother Patricia Carey passed away on the same day over the weekend. The vocalist of Without You released a heartfelt statement expressing her sadness. Despite not disclosing the reason behind their demise, she has asked that people “respect her privacy” at this “impossible time.”
Mariah Carey’s mother and sister die on same day
The singer of Emotions wrote, “My heart is broken that I lost my mother this past weekend,” in a brief message that she shared with People. Sadly, my sister passed away on the same day due to a terrible turn of circumstances. The woman went on, “I feel fortunate that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed away. I appreciate everyone’s love and support as well as their respect for my privacy during this difficult time.”
When the five-time Grammy Award winner was just three years old, her parents were divorced. A uncommon kind of cancer claimed the life of her father, Alfred Roy Cory, in 2002. Mariah previously discussed her tense connection with her deceased mother in her biography, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, which was published in 2020. My relationship with my mother has been full of paradoxes and conflicting realities, much like many other areas of my life. It’s always been a rainbow of feelings, not just black and white, the author said.
She also talked about her turbulent relationships with her late sister Alison Carey and brother Morgan Carey. “My therapist advised me to actually rename and redefine my family for my mental health and sanity,” the woman said. “My mother became Pat, my ex-brother Morgan, and my ex-sister Alison… I had to give up on the idea that they would magically grow up to be the mother, big brother, and sister I had always imagined.
