Mariah Carey Mourns the Loss of Her Mother and Sister On The Same Day

According to SAEDNEWS, Mariah Carey is experiencing profound grief following the deaths of her mother and sister, Patricia and Alison Carey, who both passed away on the same day over the weekend. The Grammy-winning singer confirmed this heartbreaking news in an exclusive statement to People magazine.

"My heart is broken that I’ve lost my mother this past weekend," Carey, 55, said, lamenting the tragic circumstances that also took her sister's life on the same day. "I feel blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed. I appreciate everyone’s love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time."

Patricia Carey, 87, was a Juilliard-trained opera singer and vocal coach who contributed to shaping Mariah’s vocal talents. Alison Carey, who was 63 at the time of her passing, is also remembered as part of a family dynamic that was both complex and nuanced. Along with her brother, Morgan, Mariah is left to navigate the loss of both immediate family members.

While the specific causes of death for Patricia and Alison have not been disclosed, the impact of this loss is deeply felt by Mariah. In her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, she described her relationship with her mother as a tapestry of emotions, filled with contradictions, pride, pain, and love.

The family’s history includes a notable divorce when Mariah was just three years old, and Mariah's reflections on this complicated relationship add depth to her public persona. As she processes this dual loss, she asks for understanding and privacy during this difficult time.
