Madonna admitted that death did not frighten her as she had witnessed her mother’s death at a very young age.
The pop star went to her official Instagram account on Thursday, February 27, and in honor of her late mother Madonna Louise Ciccone, she cared for a note in November 2024.
While remembering her late mother, Madonna revealed why she is fearless of death.
“When I was a kid, my mother died,” Madonna wrote. “Seeing her beautiful face in the open coffin and kissing her red lips to say goodbye left a haunting memory. A deep longing. A fearful fear of abandonment. I would follow my dad everywhere and remind him that if he ever died I would be buried with him.”
The 66-year-old singer continued to say, “I was fascinated by cemeteries. I wasn’t afraid of death because I knew this was the only way I could be with my mother again. When life went, I lost a lot of people who I loved a lot and came to look at death as a kind of doorway to eternal life.”
“Even when my lovers left me, I saw it as a kind of death. When they hurt me, I would have a ritualist burial for them. I would bury my fear of giving up before it could overtake me,” she added.
It is relevant to mention that Madonna’s mother died at the age of 30 in 1964 due to breast cancer.
