Devastated Madonna 'Desperately Turning to Kabbalah' to Cope With Grief Over Death of Brother Christopher — Who She Hailed As Her ‘Closest Human'
Madonna is still trying to cope with the loss of her brother Christopher.
Madonna's inner circle is on high alert, fearing the pop legend could plunge into "total despair" after the shocking loss of her brother and stepmom.
The Material Girl is spending much of her time at the Kabbalah center in an attempt to cope with the immense grief, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Madonna has been visiting the Kabbalah center to cope with recently losing her brother and stepmom.
Madonna's stepmother, Joan Ciccone, died on September 24 at the age of 81, and her brother, Christopher Ciccone, passed on October 4 at 63 — both from cancer.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Madonna’s inner circle are really worried with the state of mental and physical health. She’s been hit with an illness that nearly killed her and now the deaths of her stepmom and brother.
Madonna shared a heartfelt tribute for her brother, Christopher, after he died from pancreatic cancer in early October.
"There seems to be no let-up for her and the only relief she seems to get is going to her Kabbalah center."
The insider added: "It’s part of her desperate attempt to make sense of all the tragedy that’s hit her, but her loved ones and team are worried it won’t be enough to stop her slipping into total despair."
Kabbalah, often translated as "mysticism," is a "part of Jewish tradition that deals with the essence of God," per Reform Judaism.
Over the weekend, the '80s phenomenon was spotted at the Kabbalah center in New York City with her boyfriend, Akeem Morris.

Madonna recently shared a tribute post for her brother that showcased their deep connection, saying that while they stopped talking for some time before he got sick, they "found their way back to each other."
She wrote: "He was the closest human to me for so longIts hard to explain our bond. But it grew out of an understanding that we were different and society was going to give us a hard time for not following the status quo.
"We took each other‘s hands and we danced through the madness of our childhood."
Madonna admitted that while she and her brother lost touch, they reconnected when he was diagnosed with cancer.
Madonna said her brother was always "right by her side" growing up and explained how they "soared the highest heights together."
She went on to admit: "The last few years have not been easy. We did not speak for sometime but when my brother got sick, we found our way back to each other. I did my best to keep him alive as long as possible."
