Sharon is speaking about the final moments of her late husband Ozzy's life for the first time since his passing.

The TV personality sat for an interview with  Piers Morgan on his "Uncensored" show, where she revealed the real reason she didn't go ahead to honor the death pact she had with the hellraiser.

Sharon first mentioned when she wrote her memoir "Survivor: My Story – The Next Chapter," revealing that they planned to go to the Swiss physician-assisted suicide organization, Dignitas, should either of them no longer function independently due to an illness like Alzheimer's disease.

She's yet to honor the pact, but told Morgan that she had to reconsider, as her children stopped her from doing it.

"I would have just gone with Ozzy. Oh, yeah, definitely, I've done everything I wanted to do," she said, adding that her kids have been "unbelievably, just magnificent" with her.

Sharon and Ozzy were married from 1982 until his death in July this year, sharing three children: Aimee, Kelly, and son Jack.

The former "X Factor" judge then shared a memory that made her completely desist from the suicide pact as initially intended.

"Years ago, when I had one of my mental breakdowns, I went into a little facility to help with my head," she told Morgan.

It was there she saw two young women who were adversely impacted by the loss of their parents, and seeing this firsthand, she didn't want to leave her own children to suffer the same fate.

"I saw the state that these two young women were in and what it had done to their lives," she said. "And I thought, I will never, ever, ever do that to my kids.

It comes as a welcome development for their kids, who were understood to be in support of the pact.

"We gathered the kids around the kitchen table, told them our wishes, and they've all agreed to go with it," she previously told the Daily Mail.

Ozzy's dying moment was quite a heartbreaking one, as Sharon revealed she was certain he had passed on the minute she saw him.

The rocker had gone to their mansion's gym to work out, after which he slumped, leaving the former "The Talk" host perplexed and lost for words.

"He had a heart attack," she said, per The Sun. "I ran downstairs, and there he was, and they were trying to resuscitate him, and I'm like, 'Don't — just leave him. Leave him. You can't. He's gone.'"

She continued, "I knew instantly he'd gone. And they tried and tried, and then they took him by helicopter to the hospital, and they tried, and it's like, 'He's gone. Just leave him.'"

On their final night together in July, Sharon said the Prince of Darkness woke up at about 4:30 in the morning, wanting to use the bathroom.

"He was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was like 4.30, and he said, 'Wake up'. I said, 'I'm already bloody awake, you've woken me up," Sharon recalled,

She then  revealed his final words to her, noting, "And he said, 'Kiss me.' And then he said, 'Hug me tight.'"

It appears Sharon took that moment for granted as she went on to share her regrets on not doing more.

"I can't help wondering if I should have, could I have?" she wondered. "If only I'd have told him I loved him more. If only I'd have held him tighter."

"And he went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes, and passed away," Sharon added.

The former talk show host is still devastated by the loss, but shared that she'll never marry again despite Ozzy asking her if she thought she would.

"One night when he was hugging me tight, you know, he said, 'When I go, do you think you'll ever get married?'" Sharon recounted.

"I'm like, 'f-ck off, p-ss off.' Oh, my God, no, never, ever, ever, no," she replied.
