It Was Very selfish That She Put A Gun In Her Mouth And Shot Knowing Her Daughter Ashley Would Find Her That Way.. That Was Terrible For Her Daughter… God Have Mercy On Naomi Judds Soul.. For Doing This… I Pray God Forgave Her… Amen…
What A Shame Because Her Daughter Saw That… My Mother Passed Away Naturally And I Will Never Forget That.. If My Mother Did What Naomi Did, I Don’t Know If I Would Ever Be Right Again.. What A Thing To Do To Your Daughter… What A Shame…😮😮😮
Beautiful lady she was. I sure know that when her & her daughter sang, it brought joy to my life. Ashley has acted in movies, she is beautiful and great actress! All families have some dysfunction no doubt, I just wished I had known that when I was a young girl/teen going through so much at home. I kept silent about the dysfunction because I thought "we were the only family" that had issues! I'm glad the two girls have decided to pull together and love their Mom, no matter what.
The first time i saw the mother and daughter sing on a late night show, they looked so young. It wasn't possible to guess which was the mother. Surely God has mercy on tormented souls who do not want to die but can't withstand more agony🙏✝. Naomi was so beautiful, and those three ladies were blessed with amazing talent. 💔 i loved 'Ruby in Paradise' before i even knew the Ashley Judd was related to the singers.
Im so thankful that I was able to see Naomi and Wynonna in person at the Crystal Cathedral in the 90s. They sang and Naomi shared. It was one of my favorite times going to church. Beautiful down to earth people who really love Jesus.
Depression is so hard and misunderstood. Naomi and her daughters have brought so much joy. May she finally be a peace! I just loved her and my god…what a beautiful talent and person!!! Miss you Naomi
@catherineclinton911 she was beautiful and a beautiful soul inside. She and all of the great staff at Williamson County Hospital in Franklin were amazing! Dr. Ferrell and Dr. Curtis were excellent Ortho Doctors and that 19 year old MTSU student spent 2 months in traction with strength from my parents and friends and the great Medical staff.
What’s their to speak about, the judds life was a open book, but she was a beautiful lady and it’s so sad that she couldn’t have the peace she deserved here on earth , prayers that she’s happy singing for all the other angels in heaven,
I love you so very much Diana Ellen Judd "Naomi" your the sound of my childhood at my Grandma an Grandpas on cmt ,i honest to God thought yaw were part of my family....
I truly Honor you ,For you are my Hero when you was here on earth an now in Heaven! Thank you for being who you are and what you brought to not just to me but to so many others! You will always be Honored in my heart. I love you my Dear friend!
You know depression is something hard to deal with for I lost two people who had suffered thru depression because of alcohol abd medications in my family. So I was determined not to go through that route by taking care and not depend on medication. It's really hard to face it but life has so much to offer that it makes it easier to e joy as much as there us to enjoy. Take care !!
This is just heart breaking.. she was beautiful inside & out and had such a beautiful voice. I so miss the Judds, but I do hope that Naomi is finally at peace. I hope Wynonna can also get what she needs. Mental illness is no joke.. it's so painful.. Ashley, lots of hugs and love to you, and I hope you can all heal from all this pain.
I know of a woman who raised 3 boys after her husband who was only 45 yrs. old died of cancer. I believed she has since remarried, and the kids now are teenagers. It's hard but it can be done. She says, "I know when I need help, and I ask for it."
Prior to being diagnosed with depression and anxiety after Naomi's passing, I seeked help from my doctor and my family. There is no shame on mental health.
You are correct! Not 54! I’m shocked at the reporters lack of investigation. I would take this whole video with a grain of salt and let Naomi rest in peace. Shame on you!
Y’all have always been such a beautiful family. We all have secrets. We’re just human and we are all flawed we should always be kind to one another, even total strangers because we don’t know what somebody else is going through. We shouldn’t be so hard. I pray you find peace. There’s peace in the Lord. There’s salvation in the Lord. God Bless❤
I’m so sorry Judd daughters for all you have to process, deal with and handle. I cannot begin to imagine the depth of your pain and grief. Please know we pray for God’s grace and peace to flood your hearts and minds, and God gives His encouragement and blessed rest in HIS WISDOM and plan for your lives.. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS!
Will always be my no 1 singing couple who I will never forget. May your loving caring beautiful soul continue to radiate in the everlasting Heavenly home.
She was so pretty and a fabulous singer I love them. ❤. So sad about her daughter her being lied to founding out about her mother and her true dad. So many women have done what she did lying to her kids on who their dads were.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. She was so beautiful and talented and a bet a great mother. Her life was probably full of regrets, and no matter what we do we can not change that. I live with that and consider taking my life at times. I am truly a fan of all of you and wish I had the right words to convey to you all how much my heart hurts for you, and raps is loving arms around you and comforts you. She will be missed and is loved ❤
Nobody thinks any less of Naomi because of the way she passed. She raised two beautiful talented daughters. She had a singing career. Plus, she had a degree in nursing. That makes her life a success in my book. it may be surprising, but entertainers do wrestle with depression and self-worth issues. Naomi will be remembered for her musical career. May she rest in peace.
I'm not sure who wrote this but there are inaccuracies...if you are going to put the video out there, make sure the information is correct...example, Naomi was not 54 when she died and the narrator mixes up the use of he/she and repeatedly uses the name of Michael Cimonella while showing pictures of Larry Strickland.
She was sadly misunderstood by those around her. I see it in interviews, & in her own words. Very sad for her family. Especially for her husband who has to be so devistated. I pray for healing.
I feel so sorry that your Mom passed. Mental illness is so difficult to live with and for others to understand. Bi polar is really weird - you can be the brightest person in the room then you crash and cannot even think. Being ill for most of my Iife I was blessed to finally get help I needed. You are right brain hurts sometimes still after all these years.
Prayers for you. I cannot.fathom that level of suffering. I wonder whether you have ever read Kay Redfield Jameson's Memoir titled *An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness* (1995). It details her journey with BP. She was or still is a clinical psychologist & BP researcher at Johns Hopkins. She has had BP since childhood. Her case is extremely serious, but also fascinating. That's why I'm recommending it.
Hey Man, ABSOLUTELY NOT COOL AT ALL To be telling this story of Naomi’s past, and the skeletons. Namely the “Michael Cimenella” story (Wy’s Bio Dad), and to show Photos of Naomi’s husband of nearly 30 yrs, and the girls BELOVED POP. This is bad enough, but you’re going to make this worse by just throwing in the wrong photos? WOW….Great piece of Journalism there. Real professional work folks. Yeah You! I’m so sorry Ashley, Wy, and Larry for all of your pain. Naomi lives in the hearts of all of us. Cheers
😊gailcaldwell1512..just seeing this and You are 100% correct. This is absurdity at best with untruths 😢 he is wrong with pictures of her husband showing and he is not their dad and he needs to pronounce Wynonna 's name correctly 😢
My thoughts and prayers are always with the family . Such a beautiful person inside and out. Knowing she's with our heavenly all the pain she once had no longer exists.
Awe! They knew Jesus I know they did. And he said the truth will set you free and indeed it will! in more ways than one! we are so loved by him! To Ashley, and Naomi God will make all things right! Live in peace! Your mother is with him now living in peace!
I heard WYNONA put this women down over and over. It reminds me of my mom and sister. Wy broke her mother’s heart with her constant criticism of her mother. Naomi had too big of a heart to be treated that way.
I feel most sad for Wynona after seeing that note and cutting her out of the will. Wynona is fine financially, but the lifetime of hurt caused by essentially being disowned by your Mom must cut like a knife. Tragic. So sad for evceryone. 😢
WY & Naomi fought like cats & dogs but did love each other. The two were about to go on a tour together after Naomi not performing for years. I think the practice for it gave her huge apprehension.
Wynonna who cares who fathered you. The man who raised you is your daddy. Remember all the times your dad gave you what you needed, maybe not what you wanted, fill you with true love!❤
It was only unexpected because the fans and likely Naomi's family didn't fully understand her mental illness. Read and read and read up on these mental illnesses so you know somewhat (you cannot know fully unless you've had it yourself) on what your loved one is going through. You do a disservice to not educate yourself about these types of illnesses. Suicide goes up hugely with these mental illnesses. Whoever it was that encouraged Naomi to go on tour is way beyond my understanding.. Naomi probably felt overwhelmed at the least. All her family should of known you cannot have a gun in the house where a depressed person lives, and...Naomi WAS feeling overwhelm and an array of feelings, and not in her right mind. How did Naomi get s gun that should of either been locked up tightly or never in the house to begin with..snd WHY was she going on tour of all things.. The upcoming tour put fuel to the fire, in my opinion. The tour thing probably pushed her over the edge.. Too much for Naomi to deal with I'm sure. People who have deep depression would never go on tour or entertain that it's a good idea to do that...because that level of work would not be even possible from a person that depressed. People who have what Naomi had can attest to that. Take away the gun being an option for her and take away the then upcoming Tour, maybe she'd still be here. As a fan, I'd rather she were here and never tour again to what actually took place. People if you have a loved one with mental illness, please have a good understanding about the person's illness (and know there are many aspects to each person's illness) and how it effects them) then treat that person accordingly, meaning support them in their illness and don't put unreasonable expectations on an ill person. Their brain is in a wheelchair just as much as a physical illness puts a person in a wheelchair. Having these major mental illnesses are very painful for the patient and they often times are resistant to varying degrees of the medication used to help the condition, so it's a complicated illness. RIP Naomi.
It’s Sad & Tragic to SEE what the “enemy of your soul”..can do to you!! I pray she is in peace now..& That her daughters “Know they were & Always Will be Loved!”.. My Deepest Condolences to Naomi’s Family..May God continue to Comfort them!!.. Now.. Go on with the Life God has Planned for You!! Sending Peace & Love & the Love of God…& Strength for each Day..😭💔🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️👑 PS. My mom committed suicide too.. She was in a lot of “Emotional Pain!”.. 😭💔 But I Do Believe she is in Heaven!! 🙌🙌💓🙏🙏🌈🌈🌟🌟🌟⭐️👑🕊️🕊️🕊️
When my father passed, my mom had 7 of us to raise; she did it. She had alot of help. She also went to college full time and worked full time. That's how people can do that. They pull themselves up by their bootstraps and do what they have to do.
They’re are millions of women doing it right now! When you have child, it’s not about you anymore. It’s about doing whatever is necessary to get it done!
Mental illness affects so many people, just like secrets that always come out and cause more hurt and pain. When you combine the two it just makes everything harder. No one is perfect, especially not parents! Some go to extremes for their children and some put their own dreams ahead of their children. Either way, it is hard to understand what fuels people to do the things they do because we never know how their minds and emotions work or what experiences may have influenced their decisions. Ashley not Winona can fully understand and although it will always affect their life, the one thing they can control is the forgiveness they gave their mother and the understanding that she was only human. No one should be judged by their worse decisions, especially when a mental illness is involved. I have prayed for you all and it is my hope that your hearts can find healing through your faith and love for one another.
I believe she left both of them out. They are wealthy in their own right. Her husband truly deserved it bc of how faithful he had been in taking care of her all through her illness. She'd had lengthy hospital stays in out-of-state places that lasted weeks. He always had to stay in a nearby hotel for the duration. He also had to endure her years spent on the sofa, not practicing self-care & being so bloated bc of the medication. Then all the tour time spent on a bus. I'm glad Ashley still shows him love.
No matter what you are going through, there is aways a light at the end of the tunnel.. and it is NOT your brains scattered everywhere!! It sucks what you are doing to your family, they obviously only think about themselves, and not the family they are leaving behind!! I went through this when my old mans ex-wife tried to kill herself in front of me when I was only 3 1/2 yrs. old. She didn't care about me, she was only thinking of herself.. and wanted me to suffer as she was. NO she is not my mother, no matter what some lousy paper says. I am adopted. She made my life a living he**.. VERY emotionally, verbally, and physically abusive. She also put me harms way of sexual abuse too. She is NOT a well person. Never was, never will be. She's only fooling herself, and the rest of her family.. but not me.
Its horrible that they have no privacy because they are preformers. She wouldn't have left her daughter's out of will if she had been in her right mind so sad
Oh goodness, I'm so sorry for all of ya dealing with a Mental illness, Hurtful things are said and done that we later regret and cannot change, were humans we're not perfect ,we fall short. I guess to me the most important thing here is Forgiveness as God asks of us no matter what. Love and forgiveness are so very important. Much love to you and God bless he'll help ya find your way. 🎉❤ God love Naomi 💞
Depression is a very deep and depregating disease of the brain. I'm so sorry Naomi never found a mechanism that could bring her out of the depths of her despair. I listened to the interview and I saw the heartbreak on Diane Sawyer's face just hearing the details of the death. Having said all of the above, I am still angry with Naomi for taking her life the night before a major honor and award was planned by the COUNTRY MUSIC COMMUNITY that was about to be bestowed on both Naomi and Wynonna. I feel it was selfish, I felt she wanted the spotlight turned totally on her and she knew she would be mourned for weeks/months on end.....thereby taking the spotlight completely away from Wynonna. From all I heard: the firearm, the note saying Wyonna is NOT to attend my funeral, and if Wynonna was truly left out of the Will, then this woman had a real, unprecented hate for her daughter which breaks my heart. I was never particularly fond of the Judds, but I respect their talents completely. They were revered. They were famous. They were sought out their entire career and could have gone on for decades. But Naomi was a very selfish woman and I will stick by that comment forever. Yes, she was mentally ill, but in this case she was mentally cruel, leaving BOTH of her daughters behind with many unanswered questions. I know many of you who bother to read this will have controversial thoughts and I accept that. But just know - I spent the bulk of my life singing gospel/country music and I know how the inner workings of the Country Music community works. It's a cut throat world at times, and that's a heavy burden for anyone trying to make it. They had made it. I will say RIP for Naomi, but I don't think it was Peace she sought. I believe it was the complete and total limelight she wanted and would never attain it as long as she stood beside Wyonna. Shame on you Naomi for leaving Wyonna to have to live with the truth about how her mother felt about it. Unloved daughter and in an very bitter relationship for Wynonna to carry for the rest of her life.
Naomi was older than 54 when she passed. For her daughter's sake she should have waited until after that award ceremony to selfishly take her own life instead it forced her grief stricken daughter's to explain to her fans what and why she did and it was especially hurtful to Winona to be disowned by her . What a selfish and no doubt jealous narcassist. Without her daughter's superior talent she wouldn't have realized HER dream of being famous. RIP
Maybe Ashley shouldn't have written that biography that devastated Naomi so much, hurt her and humiliated her. Maybe Ashley shouldn't have her face chopped up. Maybe Ashley should just ask God to forgive her for all the grief she added to her mother's life, and her jealousy of Wynonna's talent. Her guilt is disguised by 'grief' and I'm not buying it. RIP Naomi.
Depression is a terrible disease. RIP beautiful lady.
My heart breaks for Ashley. I pray she finds peace after discovering her mother.
She gave life to two extraordinary daughter's, she herself was amazing.
😂😂😂😂
So many families suffer from secrets. It’s never worth it to keep secrets, honesty is an expression of love.
She was an all around beautiful soul. RIP Naomi
I will always remember her and her beautiful music. And her to talented daughters.
I Pray That You Truly Have Finally Found The Peace; That Eluded You Here on Earth. RIP. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It Was Very selfish That She Put A Gun In Her Mouth And Shot Knowing Her Daughter Ashley Would Find Her That Way.. That Was Terrible For Her Daughter… God Have Mercy On Naomi Judds Soul.. For Doing This… I Pray God Forgave Her… Amen…
What A Shame Because Her Daughter Saw That… My Mother Passed Away Naturally And I Will Never Forget That.. If My Mother Did What Naomi Did, I Don’t Know If I Would Ever Be Right Again.. What A Thing To Do To Your Daughter… What A Shame…😮😮😮
Absolutely agree❤
Beautiful lady she was. I sure know that when her & her daughter sang, it brought joy to my life. Ashley has acted in movies, she is beautiful and great actress! All families have some dysfunction no doubt, I just wished I had known that when I was a young girl/teen going through so much at home.

R.I.P. Wynonna and Ashley blessings , hugs and a healing and forgiving heart.
Im so thankful that I was able to see Naomi and Wynonna in person at the Crystal Cathedral in the 90s. They sang and Naomi shared. It was one of my favorite times going to church. Beautiful down to earth people who really love Jesus.
RIP Naomi Judd 💔 (Prayers)
A beautiful soul that loved everyone
I hope you found peace Naomi. We the fans will love and miss you forever. God bless Wynonna and Ashley
Depression is so hard and misunderstood. Naomi and her daughters have brought so much joy. May she finally be a peace! I just loved her and my god…what a beautiful talent and person!!! Miss you Naomi
I hope she finally found complete peace which she did not have on earth. She is still I believe is still very much missed in the music business.
Naomi was a wonderful and beautiful lady inside and out. Rest in peace dear Lady❤
Beautiful Family and so Heartbreaking...... God Bless❤
I sure wish the dude that is talking, would learn too at least pronounce the peoples names!
It’s a computer generated voice that’s why there are mispronunciations..
It’s “A 👁️”… they never pronounce names correctly!!👎👎🤐
@@HISIAM888RUHIS888 Because the people who deploy the A👁️ don’t know how to pronounce them either otherwise they would correct it (one would think)
It’s driving me nuts!
😢 also Naomi was one of my nursesduring a long hospital stay in college and she was a great Nurse😊
Wow! Thank you for sharing. I know she was also beautiful then, too.
@catherineclinton911 she was beautiful and a beautiful soul inside. She and all of the great staff at Williamson County Hospital in Franklin were amazing! Dr. Ferrell and Dr. Curtis were excellent Ortho Doctors and that 19 year old MTSU student spent 2 months in traction with strength from my parents and friends and the great Medical staff.
Naomi was such a gorgeous, beautiful woman and from what I understand she was a beautiful lady inside and out.
Depression is blinding and painful. The Judy's were a wonderful team. And I am glad WJ continued to sing. My heart hurt for the girls and Naomi.
I saw them in concert with Ronnie Milsap in Greenwood,SC back in the mid 1980’s. They were phenomenal ! 😊
RIP . You were so loved.
What’s their to speak about, the judds life was a open book, but she was a beautiful lady and it’s so sad that she couldn’t have the peace she deserved here on earth , prayers that she’s happy singing for all the other angels in heaven,
I love you so very much Diana Ellen Judd "Naomi" your the sound of my childhood at my Grandma an Grandpas on cmt ,i honest to God thought yaw were part of my family....
You just don't know the pain and suffering that people truly have behind doors. May she RIP
I truly Honor you ,For you are my Hero when you was here on earth an now in Heaven! Thank you for being who you are and what you brought to not just to me but to so many others! You will always be Honored in my heart. I love you my Dear friend!
Let's leave them alone.
You know depression is something hard to deal with for I lost two people who had suffered thru depression because of alcohol abd medications in my family. So I was determined not to go through that route by taking care and not depend on medication. It's really hard to face it but life has so much to offer that it makes it easier to e joy as much as there us to enjoy. Take care !!
she was 76 when she passed NOT 54.... get it right if you are going to speak on it.
Thank you
This is just heart breaking.. she was beautiful inside & out and had such a beautiful voice. I so miss the Judds, but I do hope that Naomi is finally at peace. I hope Wynonna can also get what she needs. Mental illness is no joke.. it's so painful.. Ashley, lots of hugs and love to you, and I hope you can all heal from all this pain.
I can’t even imagine!! How woman can raise two girls alone by herself!!?
It's not hard to do the Lord gives you the strength I don't understand what you're saying
After my father passed, my mom had 7 of us to raise. She did what she had to do, and she had help too
It isn’t hard. I raised my daughter alone and my mom had 3 of us she had to raise. You just do what is necessary
I know of a woman who raised 3 boys after her husband who was only 45 yrs. old died of cancer. I believed she has since remarried, and the kids now are teenagers. It's hard but it can be done. She says, "I know when I need help, and I ask for it."
She was heavily sexually abused, beginning when she was a toddler.
Prior to being diagnosed with depression and anxiety after Naomi's passing, I seeked help from my doctor and my family. There is no shame on mental health.
My mother passed when I was 22. I had to learn to deal with it. I did.
Some people are Stronger than others!… I NEEDED GOD to Help me through it!! And to give me His Peace!!
He IS Faithful!! 🙏🙏🙏👑📖🕊️🕊️🕊️
did you? you sound a bit bitter.
I read Naomi was only 76 when she died
You are correct! Not 54! I’m shocked at the reporters lack of investigation. I would take this whole video with a grain of salt and let Naomi rest in peace. Shame on you!
@@cathymarshall7674 Must be AI, because "he" repeatedly stated Wynonna's name incorrectly.
This video has me crying 😭 for my mommy. Literally.
Ashley Judd is beyond insane.
Y’all have always been such a beautiful family. We all have secrets. We’re just human and we are all flawed we should always be kind to one another, even total strangers because we don’t know what somebody else is going through. We shouldn’t be so hard.

I really miss them! I couldnt wait for them to get back together. Soooo sad.....RIP Noami
She was a great singer so sad she didn’t get help.
She was very talented!!!
if you can't pronounce Wynonna properly, I cant watch anymore.
Oh my God it is driving me crazy!,
😂😂😂😂😂
That’s hysterical
Agreed!! Where are you in the planet that you don’t know it’s pronounced “ why known ah” Jeez!!
I'm not sure who wrote this but there are inaccuracies...if you are going to put the video out there, make sure the information is correct...example, Naomi was not 54 when she died and the narrator mixes up the use of he/she and repeatedly uses the name of Michael Cimonella while showing pictures of Larry Strickland.

Prayers for you. I cannot.fathom that level of suffering.
I wonder whether you have ever read Kay Redfield Jameson's Memoir titled

It details her journey with BP.

Naomi and Larry were married for 33 years. Michael Cimenella is Ashley's dad. Wynonna's biological dad was Charles Jordan.

When will you leave this woman alone?
Prayers to the family. ❤RIP Naomi❤ such a kind soul.
She was 76, not 54.
RIP my dear friend, you were a very beautiful woman inside and out, may you sing with the angels.
My thoughts and prayers are always with the family . Such a beautiful person inside and out. Knowing she's with our heavenly all the pain she once had no longer exists.
I would really like if Ashley Judd would go back to acting, she's GREAT AT IT.
agreed! loved double jeopardy, it holds up!
I have NEVER heard anything about Larry being in their lives when they were small children.
Awe! They knew Jesus I know they did. And he said the truth will set you free and indeed it will! in more ways than one! we are so loved by him! To Ashley, and Naomi God will make all things right! Live in peace! Your mother is with him now living in peace!
And she was a wounderful singer and a beauty women
I heard WYNONA put this women down over and over. It reminds me of my mom and sister. Wy broke her mother’s heart with her constant criticism of her mother. Naomi had too big of a heart to be treated that way.
They were scrapping with each other while practicing for the tour. Wy was very tough on her but toward the end saw Naomi's frailty & fear.
I feel most sad for Wynona after seeing that note and cutting her out of the will. Wynona is fine financially, but the lifetime of hurt caused by essentially being disowned by your Mom must cut like a knife. Tragic. So sad for evceryone. 😢
WY & Naomi fought like cats & dogs but did love each other. The two were about to go on a tour together after Naomi not performing for years. I think the practice for it gave her huge apprehension.
Wynonna who cares who fathered you. The man who raised you is your daddy. Remember all the times your dad gave you what you needed, maybe not what you wanted, fill you with true love!❤

Read and read and read up on these mental illnesses so you know somewhat (you cannot know fully unless you've had it yourself) on what your loved one is going through. You do a disservice to not educate yourself about these types of illnesses.
Suicide goes up hugely with these mental illnesses.
Whoever it was that encouraged Naomi to go on tour is way beyond my understanding..
Naomi probably felt overwhelmed at the least.
All her family should of known you cannot have a gun in the house where a depressed person lives, and...Naomi WAS feeling overwhelm and an array of feelings, and not in her right mind.
How did Naomi get s gun that should of either been locked up tightly or never in the house to begin with..snd WHY was she going on tour of all things.. The upcoming tour put fuel to the fire, in my opinion.
The tour thing probably pushed her over the edge.. Too much for Naomi to deal with I'm sure.
People who have deep depression would never go on tour or entertain that it's a good idea to do that...because that level of work would not be even possible from a person that depressed.
People who have what Naomi had can attest to that.
Take away the gun being an option for her and take away the then upcoming Tour, maybe she'd still be here.
As a fan, I'd rather she were here and never tour again to what actually took place.
People if you have a loved one with mental illness, please have a good understanding about the person's illness (and know there are many aspects to each person's illness) and how it effects them) then treat that person accordingly, meaning support them in their illness and don't put unreasonable expectations on an ill person.
Their brain is in a wheelchair just as much as a physical illness puts a person in a wheelchair.
Having these major mental illnesses are very painful for the patient and they often times are resistant to varying degrees of the medication used to help the condition, so it's a complicated illness.
RIP Naomi.
Excellent comments. I agree with everything you said.
It’s Sad & Tragic to SEE what the “enemy of your soul”..can do to you!! I pray she is in peace now..& That her daughters “Know they were & Always Will be Loved!”.. My Deepest Condolences to Naomi’s Family..May God continue to Comfort them!!..
Now.. Go on with the Life God has Planned for You!! Sending Peace & Love & the Love of God…& Strength for each Day..😭💔🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️👑
PS. My mom committed suicide too.. She was in a lot of “Emotional Pain!”.. 😭💔
But I Do Believe she is in Heaven!! 🙌🙌💓🙏🙏🌈🌈🌟🌟🌟⭐️👑🕊️🕊️🕊️
YES. I believe God understands their unbearable anguish. They do not do it out of selfishness.
I can’t believe that she was raising two girls alone!? Without anyone helping her!??
When my father passed, my mom had 7 of us to raise; she did it. She had alot of help. She also went to college full time and worked full time. That's how people can do that. They pull themselves up by their bootstraps and do what they have to do.
They’re are millions of women doing it right now! When you have child, it’s not about you anymore. It’s about doing whatever is necessary to get it done!
i mean, she had a lot of money and help.
Ashley has many of her own problems. Better focus on that.
she looks terrible
I hope the girls can find peace I am super she loved them very much.
Rip prayers for family and friends
Mental illness is no joke. Let's not judge.
Why don’t you get facts right? Jeez, Naomi wasn’t 54!!
Most of this article was inaccurate . Shame on you!
@ well I didn’t write it or post it!! So shame on whoever did!!
Ashley is starting to take on the same look that her mom had. Not good.
Mental illness affects so many people, just like secrets that always come out and cause more hurt and pain. When you combine the two it just makes everything harder. No one is perfect, especially not parents! Some go to extremes for their children and some put their own dreams ahead of their children. Either way, it is hard to understand what fuels people to do the things they do because we never know how their minds and emotions work or what experiences may have influenced their decisions. Ashley not Winona can fully understand and although it will always affect their life, the one thing they can control is the forgiveness they gave their mother and the understanding that she was only human. No one should be judged by their worse decisions, especially when a mental illness is involved. I have prayed for you all and it is my hope that your hearts can find healing through your faith and love for one another.
Who never apologized or appreciated her enough!? When she was alive!?
I’m confused….why would she leave her out of her will
I believe she left both of them out. They are wealthy in their own right. Her husband truly deserved it bc of how faithful he had been in taking care of her all through her illness. She'd had lengthy hospital stays in out-of-state places that lasted weeks. He always had to stay in a nearby hotel for the duration. He also had to endure her years spent on the sofa, not practicing self-care & being so bloated bc of the medication. Then all the tour time spent on a bus. I'm glad Ashley still shows him love.
They should have appreciated their mother more!!? Also!? Hepatitis c never goes away!?
Why was she so hateful against Wynonna?
So sad what the suicide note said 17:08 . Speaks volumes of their relationship.
They have very good voices and communication!!!
So sad...to feel so useless that life has lost all value. She suffered terribly before ending her pain.
Ruth here, l thought Naomi was sexually abused, are we not hearing the full truth
No matter what you are going through, there is aways a light at the end of the tunnel.. and it is NOT your brains scattered everywhere!! It sucks what you are doing to your family, they obviously only think about themselves, and not the family they are leaving behind!! I went through this when my old mans ex-wife tried to kill herself in front of me when I was only 3 1/2 yrs. old. She didn't care about me, she was only thinking of herself.. and wanted me to suffer as she was. NO she is not my mother, no matter what some lousy paper says. I am adopted. She made my life a living he**.. VERY emotionally, verbally, and physically abusive. She also put me harms way of sexual abuse too. She is NOT a well person. Never was, never will be. She's only fooling herself, and the rest of her family.. but not me.
You didn't explain any of this very well.
I can’t even imagine raising two girls alone and working all the time!?
RIP Naomi always loved and missed,
(To the announcer,please learn how to pronounce names before you speak ) ,,,,THANK YOU !
It’s AI vocals, not a human
Its horrible that they have no privacy because they are preformers. She wouldn't have left her daughter's out of will if she had been in her right mind so sad
Oh goodness, I'm so sorry for all of ya dealing with a Mental illness, Hurtful things are said and done that we later regret and cannot change, were humans we're not perfect ,we fall short. I guess to me the most important thing here is Forgiveness as God asks of us no matter what. Love and forgiveness are so very important. Much love to you and God bless he'll help ya find your way. 🎉❤ God love Naomi 💞
She was only 5 years older than my Mom.
I never knew that she did that, I thought she had passed from an illness. That’s so sad.
OLD NEWS from 2 years ago
Ashley did not look healthy 😢😢😢
Depression is a very deep and depregating disease of the brain. I'm so sorry Naomi never found a mechanism that could bring her out of the depths of her despair. I listened to the interview and I saw the heartbreak on Diane Sawyer's face just hearing the details of the death. Having said all of the above, I am still angry with Naomi for taking her life the night before a major honor and award was planned by the COUNTRY MUSIC COMMUNITY that was about to be bestowed on both Naomi and Wynonna. I feel it was selfish, I felt she wanted the spotlight turned totally on her and she knew she would be mourned for weeks/months on end.....thereby taking the spotlight completely away from Wynonna. From all I heard: the firearm, the note saying Wyonna is NOT to attend my funeral, and if Wynonna was truly left out of the Will, then this woman had a real, unprecented hate for her daughter which breaks my heart.
I was never particularly fond of the Judds, but I respect their talents completely. They were revered. They were famous. They were sought out their entire career and could have gone on for decades. But Naomi was a very selfish woman and I will stick by that comment forever. Yes, she was mentally ill, but in this case she was mentally cruel, leaving BOTH of her daughters behind with many unanswered questions. I know many of you who bother to read this will have controversial thoughts and I accept that. But just know - I spent the bulk of my life singing gospel/country music and I know how the inner workings of the Country Music community works. It's a cut throat world at times, and that's a heavy burden for anyone trying to make it. They had made it. I will say RIP for Naomi, but I don't think it was Peace she sought. I believe it was the complete and total limelight she wanted and would never attain it as long as she stood beside Wyonna. Shame on you Naomi for leaving Wyonna to have to live with the truth about how her mother felt about it. Unloved daughter and in an very bitter relationship for Wynonna to carry for the rest of her life.
Naomi was older than 54 when she passed.
For her daughter's sake she should have waited until after that award ceremony to selfishly take her own life instead it forced her grief stricken daughter's to explain to her fans what and why she did and it was especially hurtful to Winona to be disowned by her . What a selfish and no doubt jealous narcassist. Without her daughter's superior talent she wouldn't have realized HER dream of being famous. RIP
Maybe Ashley shouldn't have written that biography that devastated Naomi so much, hurt her and humiliated her. Maybe Ashley shouldn't have her face chopped up. Maybe Ashley should just ask God to forgive her for all the grief she added to her mother's life, and her jealousy of Wynonna's talent. Her guilt is disguised by 'grief' and I'm not buying it. RIP Naomi.
Now at peace ❤
I thought suicides were NOT forgiven in religious circles since God decides when how we leave this Earth.
