Scott Disick opened up about losing his parents and his struggles to talk about it on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. How did they die?
As the Kardashian-Jenner family planned their annual Christmas Eve party on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Scott Disick coincided with a personal holiday agenda of his own to address his struggles of dealing with and discussing the deaths of his parents.
Disick's journey of dealing with his sick parents and the aftermath was documented on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and the spin-off Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons. His struggle with their untimely deaths lead to him indulging in a period of out of control partying, burying his emotions, and relapsing on his drug and alcohol addiction. Over time, the real estate developer overcame some of his resulting battles but has recently revealed he finds it hard to talk about his parents, even with his kids.
As reported by Refinery 29, Disick's parents Bonnie and Jeffrey Disick died within three months of one another, leaving behind their only child. Although it has been reported by The Los Angeles Times his mother died in October of 2013 after a "long illness," her cause of death has never been revealed. The same mystery lies behind his father's death in January of 2014. While it has been speculated, from a comment by Disick in a previous episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, his father battled cancer, the cause has not disclosed.
In a vulnerable conversation with Kim Kardashian West in the latest episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Disick opened up about the death of his parents. "Losing my parents is not an easy subject for me to talk about. It puts me in a very vulnerable place, to remember them and think about them," shared Disick during his confessional. In an attempt to get comfortable with sharing more about his parents to his three kids he reaches out to his dad's best friend, David Hacker. The two have dinner and reminisce over old photos, providing Kourtney Kardashian's ex an opportunity to reflect on good memories.
Disick's attempt to overcome his discomfort of talking about his parents is a relatable moment for those who have lost parents and/or loved ones. It also sets a good example for his kids and allows them to learn more about their grandparents. He has come a long way in his journey through his unimaginable loss, discovering healthy ways to push through. While the pain will never go away, hopefully he can find comfort in the memories.
