<p>“Your comments, posts, and tributes have brought me more comfort than you know. None of it has gone unnoticed, in fact, it’s carried me through many nights.”</p>
<p>The comment section of the post is brimming with over 10 thousand messages of support and sorrow, an astounding demonstration of the scope of the Osbourne’s appreciation and respect.</p>
<p>Sharon was seen publicly in July as fans flooded to the streets of Birmingham and swarmed the Black Sabbath Bridge to show their solidarity and compassion at <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/thousands-line-birmingham-streets-for-ozzy-osbournes-funeral-procession/" target="_blank">Ozzy’s funeral procession.</a></p>
<p>The instagram post included a video of Sharon partaking in falconry, a bond from human to another, which she says knows all too well.</p>
<p>Sharon continued: “Though I’m still finding my footing, I wanted to share some glorious creatures I had the chance to spend an afternoon with.”</p>
<p>Sharon continued by saying: “The connection you make with these powerful birds is built entirely on trust and confidence. They’ll choose to perch on you only if they sense you are safe and unafraid of them. It’s a bond I know all too well, and the experience was nothing short of magical.”</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their daughter Kelly recently <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/kelly-osbourne-reveals-how-shes-35868147" target="_blank">shared an instagram story</a> praising falconry for helping her deal with her grief. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;In all my sadness &amp; grief I have found something that truly makes me happy! I never thought I would find my smile again through falconry but I did. I absolutely love being with the birds!&#8221; Said the 40 year old. </span></p>
<p>Kelly said that her mum loved it, and that it <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOeVHOviRPh/" target="_blank">“put a smile on her face”</a></p>
<p>The former X Factor judge concluded her caption with a heartfelt thank you to her fans:  “I love you all, and I thank you deeply for the otherworldly amount of love you continue to send my way.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Singer and Songwriter, Kate Bush has broken her silence as she shares her deepest thoughts about the bizarre events that happened throughout 2022. She talks about the ongoing war in Ukraine, the plea for a pay rise for <a href="https://www.nursinginpractice.com/latest-news/nurses-real-wage-down-20-in-ten-years-despite-raises/">nurses </a>and the Late queen.</p>
<p>She <a href="https://www.katebush.com/news/message">wrote</a> in her message &#8220;<em>I don&#8217;t think any of us have ever known a year like this one. Life became incredibly frightening in the pandemic but just as we think it might be over soon, it seems to keep going. It&#8217;s a bombardment &#8211; the horrific war in Ukraine, the famines, the droughts, the floods&#8230; and we lost our Queen. Many of my friends were surprised at how upset they were at her death especially as we aren&#8217;t royalists, but I think her passing became a focus of grief, for unexpressed loss that so many people felt during the pandemic.&#8221; </em></p>
<p>Furthermore in her message, she writes, &#8220;<em>I wonder where on earth we&#8217;ll all be at the end next year, I hope the war will end. I hope that the nurses will be in a position where they are appreciated &#8211; they should be cherished. Let&#8217;s all hope that next year will be better than this one.&#8221;<br />
</em></p>
<p>One of her best highlights of the year which she described as a &#8220;<a href="https://www.katebush.com/news/message"><em>crazy, roller coaster&#8221;</em></a> was the success of <em>her famous 1985 song &#8216;</em><em>Running Up That Hill </em>as it topped the charts in both the UK and Australia. Thanks to the iconic scene in Stranger Things featuring Max&#8217;s Song as she faces Vecna.</p>
<p>She owes the success of RUTH to her fans in the younger generation, especially the new fans who thought she was a new artist for reviving the song&#8217;s popularity and getting all the attention and recognition it deserves.</p>
<p>Kate Bush is currently trending on Twitter as her wonderful message has users blooming with love and support for Kate. One Twitter user said, &#8220;<em>Kate Bush has posted a beautiful Christmas message on her website. Accompanied by a picture of a<a href="https://twitter.com/lewispringle/status/1605719302937591808"> robin,</a> she reflects on Ukraine, the death of the Queen, her hope that nurses are finally cherished (yes, Kate!) and the huge success of Running Up That Hill. Merry Christmas, Kate!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Another Twitter user said, &#8220;<em>Kate Bush gave the best Christmas message and I love her. Merry Christmas Kate!! And we should appreciate the nurses working to fight the ongoing pandemic like she said. Plus Kate is not a <a href="https://twitter.com/RasberryRazz/status/1605715935616172035">royalist</a> confirmed!&#8221;</em></p>
