Jimmy Osmond's Journey To Recovery After Suffering A Stroke
Life Takes a Sudden Turn for Jimmy Osmond
Hey there, let's talk about what's been going on with Jimmy Osmond. The past few months have been tough for the Osmond family. On December 31st, ITV News reported that Jimmy had suffered a stroke just a few days earlier, on December 27th. This happened right after he wrapped up his performance as Captain Hook in Peter Pan at Birmingham Hippodrome in England. Now, here's the good news: Jimmy is on the mend. “Strokes come in all shapes and sizes, and Jimmy received the care he needed. He's optimistic about the next few months and is focused on self-care,” a source told Daily Mail. That's a relief, right?
The Incident: What Happened Next?
Let’s rewind a bit. Last week, Jimmy fell during his performance. After putting on a stellar show as Captain Hook, he was rushed to the hospital. "On the evening of Thursday, December 27th, after pushing through the evening's performance of Peter Pan at Birmingham Hippodrome, Jimmy Osmond was driven straight to the hospital and diagnosed with a stroke. He is grateful for all the well wishes and will be taking time out in the new year," his spokesperson shared with the media. This is a tough situation, but Jimmy's resilience is inspiring.
Words of Encouragement from Birmingham Hippodrome
After the news broke, Birmingham Hippodrome reached out with heartfelt words for Jimmy. "Jimmy loved being a part of our panto, and his portrayal of Captain Hook was both dastardly and heartwarming. He won the hearts of our audiences and our staff alike. We all send Jimmy and his family our best wishes for a speedy recovery," Fiona Allan from Birmingham Hippodrome shared. It's always good to see the community rally around someone in need.

Remembering Troy Osmond
Just a month before Jimmy's stroke, the Osmond family faced another tragedy. On November 18th, Marie shared the heartbreaking news of her nephew Troy Osmond's passing. Troy, who was 33, passed away in his sleep after battling illness since he was nine years old. "This was a sad and challenging week for our family as my wonderful nephew Troy passed away in his sleep at 33. He had struggled with illness since he was nine years old and those trials caused him a great deal of pain his whole life. Although I am grateful he isn’t suffering any longer, his loss has left a huge hole for our family," Marie wrote on Facebook.
Marie continued, "As I stood next to my brother Merrill at his youngest son’s funeral, I tried my best to comfort and share in his pain. I know that feeling of utter despair, praying to wake up from a horrible nightmare and not being able to breathe. I remember that seemingly impossible task to continue on — I had to for my other children, but I didn’t know how." Her words capture the depth of the family's sorrow and the strength they find in faith and love.

View this post on InstagramThis was a sad and challenging week for our family as my wonderful nephew Troy passed away in his sleep at 33. He had struggled with illness since he was nine years old and those trials caused him a great deal of pain his whole life. Although I am grateful he isn’t suffering any longer, his loss has left a huge hole for our family. He was an exemplar to many, never letting his physical challenges get in the way of living his life to the fullest. First and foremost, Troy loved his family and cheered them on with every opportunity he had, and we loved him, completely and fiercely. For now my brother Merrill and his family need to heal, and if you see them in concert please allow them that time. Living with Troy’s death will be one of the hardest things they do but I know that over time they will be able to use this experience to help others. Life is learning how to deal with trials and challenges, and they can be humbling and painful, but I know our Savior will help us go through them instead of around them, if we ask for His help. Humbly asking for help can move us forward in peace and love. I don’t believe God orchestrates trials, He isn’t behind the fires in California or the wars that plague our world, He isn’t involved in the anger and rancor we witness each day… man has been given the opportunity to choose… God will not take our agency away, how could we learn? Like a good parent, children are given rules, guidelines and boundaries to keep them safe. However, if they choose to disobey wise counsel there are consequences that limit their freedoms to enjoy a productive, healthy life. It’s all up to actions and choices. God can’t stop people from making bad choices but he can help those of us who have been hurt by those choices to heal. This is why even when we do experience pain we will always win if we choose to have God’s love in our hearts. Then we learn… He is in the words we use to comfort, the impressions we use to guide, the arms we use to share our burdens and help others with the knowledge that God is ALWAYS there!
