"This is a painful and heartbreaking time. As a mother, my concern is for the children. I ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal. I will have no further comment."

Shriver attended the taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show's farewell episode Tuesday.
