The superstar shared her thoughts with fans on Instagram this past Sunday.
“Back at work,” she captioned a video of herself rehearsing her 2005 hit “It’s Like That.”
“It’s been a couple of rough weeks, but I appreciate everyone’s love and support so much and I can’t wait to see my fans in China & Brazil. Love you!” Carey added.

“My heart is broken that I’ve lost my mother this past weekend. Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day,” Carey said at the time, PEOPLE reports.
“I feel blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed,” Carey added. “I appreciate everyone’s love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time.”
Page Six reports that Mariah allegedly did not visit her ailing older sister before her passing. Alison’s friend David Baker said Carey “never tried to contact” Alison when she entered hospice care weeks before she passed away.
“A phone call or, better still, a video call would have meant so much to Alison. But it never came,” Baker told the US Sun.
“She talked about it frequently. She wondered if Mariah or any of her relatives would come to her funeral,” he added.
As PEOPLE reports, in her 2020 memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey,” Carey wrote that it was “emotionally and physically safer for me not to have any contact” with Alison or her brother Morgan.
