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 agree with you. I know that money can definitely help things in people‘s lives, but it doesn’t always buy everybody pure happiness like a lot of people think it does.
I am 78 and have suffered depression since I was a tiny child. I remember sitting on the porch with my adult neighbor who would listen a child trying to explain I felt sad. . I would watch other people having fun and wonder what it felt like…I tried antidepressants at one point and had s severe drug allergy and ended up in hospital😮. I decided that there probably isn’t anything I can do.i pray a lot and marvel at nature and God has blessed me. I have my rescue Rivy who loves me unconditionally and a husband who has loved me for 59 years. Without detail I was sexually abused by my dad so perhaps that had something to do with my sadness. I always felt so unworthy. The way I handled it was going into education and asking for the students I felt were often overlooked..the ones in trouble, the ones made fun of, the ones unloved…..I made sure they knew everyday I thought they were special and loved. I sure hope I made a difference! I did get a letter from a former student who as an adult looked up my address and wrote a letter saying how much I had helped her by caring. That letter is worth everyday of suffering depression! Thanks for letting me share…..it helped!
@ I sure wish it was that simple ….my depression started as a child of 8…now 78 I still suffer but learned to deal with it. Never leaves…if I could have retrained my brain it would be done by now! I had lots of therapy….when you have it starting as a child there is a chemical imbalance and I choose not to use drugs! You must not have serious depression since childhood or you would understand that though you have good intentions that if happiness were a choice I would be the happiest girl alive! I read…walk…get sleep….happily married. No reason other than I was born with it. I appreciate you trying but please don’t discourage people who have tried all your suggestions! 😔 I have used all the positive thoughts I can….my daughter has it too. Genetic …my dad had it!
@Suzi64grad i would never discourage anyone. I have been fighting severe depression all my life since childhood as well! We all have lessons to learn in this life and i trust Jesus to get me through to the other side!Seriously, Happiness is a Choice is the best book for understanding depression. Written by Dr.'s Minrith and Meier! It's so helpful!!!! Also, praising God ...out Loud even...releases power to combat and "attack". God bless you.
I have Bipolar/Depression not Gonna lie I have contemplated suicide a few times it's a Dark place But the Lord and my Grandchildren is why I am still here ❤
That's exactly what I was going to say, almost word-for-word! Yeah, how could she only be 54 when her daughters were older than that when she died? Maybe he meant to say, when Naomi died, Ashley was 54. 🤔 I think that would have been about right
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.
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…😮😮😮
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.
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!❤
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.
@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’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!
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
As a nearly 60 year old lady I suffered a metal illness of Bipolar. Taking medication every day AM & PM keeps my mind clear. No jumbled racing thoughts with sadness and anxiety. Physiatrist, Therapist and medication 💊 changed my life so much. Cool, Calm, and Even toned mentally. Diagnosed at 18 years old. Nearly 60 now. Mental health awards and treatment saved my life.
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 !!
There are people who need medications. I am one. I feel great, and have had no bouts of depression since I have been on medication. But one should never mix alcohol with medications.
So she decided to give birth to Winona and not have an abortion yet is still criticized for having a relationship with a man as a teenager ! Please ! She did the right thing to have her baby -- enough criticism RIP lovely chanteuse
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.
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 lost my father to suicide. You come to realize that nothing you could have done would have changed the outcome. Something you have to live with. It's very sad, she was beautiful and talented.
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 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 heard Naomi used to like to leave 20.00 bills all around her town for the workers in stores and restaurants she frequented. I thought that was so sweet. RIP ❤
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 😢
To many people don't realize what these people with mental illnesses are going through. DO NOT LOOK DOWN ON THESE PEOPLE & don't make their families feel ashamed, this is a sickness just like Cancer or any other disease. I was married to a man who was very talented with his music, but before he died with Cancer & many other diseases, we were married over 47 years. Many nights we sat up all night talking, he went many times to Psychiatrists over the years for help. At least I feel all the torment he went through here on earth, but never losing his Christian faith, has earned him a place in heaven. These people deserve it, God knows the torment these people are going through. I feel he forgives them & takes them to heaven, he does not send them to Hell, like I was brought up to believe. They just feel they can't fight anymore. God Bless them all.
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 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!
I was heartbroken when I heard of Naomi's death. I met her and Wynona once. They were genuine women. Fun to talk to. A sad time in the girls lives. I hope the public will love and pray for them and not gossip and hurt them. God bless the girls. 💓❤️💖🙏🙏🙏😊
Depression is a silent taker. All the living only see a person who isn’t perfect and mean but only learns how great they were after the death. I’m scared for Ashley too.
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 wish she hadn't left the girls that terrible note. How can Wynona ever get over reading that? It had to crush her soul to the core. I hope they are getting help to overcome any guilt that they feel. God bless them.
Naomi did not leave either daughter anything in her will. It went to Larry. A lot of this is not true and it saddens me to hear that this is not all truthful. You also left out that Naomi battled Hep C, which she contracted in her years as a nurse. That also takes a toll on a person. Wynonna (which is pronounced WHY-no-nuh) might've had a different dad but it didn't matter to her, do not know where you got some of this info. Jordan ABANDONED Naomi (Diana at the time) You make it sound like she cheated on Michael but she did NOT. He knew of her pregnancy and Jordan leaving her. It's half truths and someone NOT doing PROPER research before saying such things.
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 ❤
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
It bothered me deeply, that she intentionally invited Ashley to her home when she knew she would kill herself . And she killed herself 1 day before she and daughter were supposed to receive a high honor award. She ruined that for daughter. Cruel
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 have chronic pain anddebilitating depression as well and i’ve been on every pill/ drug there is. Some made things better temporarily, some only made things worse. I’ve sought every form of therapy there is. It’s situational but when it hits? it hits HARD. Like can’t get out of bed, can’t eat. But at the same time can’t sleep. One minute i’m on fire the next i’m freezing. It’s like when I turned 25 my body turned on me and it’s never been the same since. The ONLY thing that makes it better is love and sometimes that doesn’t even help. I’ve tried 4 times and failed. Probably because i’m too afraid of what comes next or i’m too afraid of botching it and making my situation even worse. I have legal problems on top of it and an elderly Mom. She and my cats are all i have. I just can’t believe i’m still alive and im still grateful in a way but im so close to the edge it feels like one little push will push me over. So i very much understand why Naomi did what she did. I just hope I can find peace in my life before my Mom dies so she can leave this world knowing i’m going to be ok. I’d give anything to give her that. But it doesn’t seem likely at this point. Please pray for me
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have struggled with chronic pain after a “failed”spinal surgery in 2014. I have limited mobility that has seemed to worsen over time. The loss of my dad to leukemia in 2012 and then my only sister to years of alcoholism in 2016. I miss them everyday. Grief hasn’t been easy. It has consumed me. I can also relate. Some days are really hard to keep pushing. Please be with me and keep pushing forward. There is so much in this life that is beautiful. Life is very difficult at times, of course, but it’s worth pushing forward. I have had to seek help a number of times over the years to cope with the loss of those I love so much and loss of so many parts of myself that come with the physical issues I have. I try to enjoy the small things in this life. I have so much to be thankful for. I try to remind myself of this often. I wish you the very best. Keep swimming!
@@blondieb6946 Thank you. I’ve just been through the hardest, two weeks of my life. I was in a very bad place that my bad decisions and addiction ended up putting me in. Im tired of the stigma i’m tired of all of it. But i very much appreciate your kind words and i’m so sorry what you’ve been through. I hope I never have to get operated on because I don’t really trust Dr’s 100%
My heart hurts for this family. Having mental illness in my own family, we see smiles behind the hidden pain. We all need to beware of each others feelings. Touch base with one another! To the judds give it time.
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!! 🙌🙌💓🙏🙏🌈🌈🌟🌟🌟⭐️👑🕊️🕊️🕊️
This is all such a lie. Who they picture when talking about Naomi’s first husband Michael is actually Larry Strickland. That is Naomi’s 2nd husband. (They don't even show a real photo of her first husband!) Geeze get it right if your going to take the time to make a post like this. The post it note is also a lie. Why make this kind of BS post? Shame on you!
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."
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 admire Naomi Judd for her talent and strength. Mental illness is truly devastating, but she overcame it to leave behind an incredible musical legacy.
So very sad. Depression does horrible things to a life. I believe she loved her girls like crazy but it was a very codendent love. It was complicated due to lies for decades about paternity. Young people, realize your mistakes do matter for a lifetime. While it may be temporary fun it can ultimately lead to part of the reason you commit suicide. As the Sir Walter Scott poem goes, “oh the tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive.”
Depression is a terrible disease. RIP beautiful lady.
And it is RAMPANT, fellow Earthlings. We need to come together to help each other without judgment. We only have each other.
Yes it is!!😢
IT'S A HORRIBLE DISEASE!! MENTAL DISEASE 😢
She gave life to two extraordinary daughter's, she herself was amazing.
😂😂😂😂
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.

I agree with you. I know that money can definitely help things in people‘s lives, but it doesn’t always buy everybody pure happiness like a lot of people think it does.
I agree. And I think mental illness runs in her family
Indeed very sad ❤
Naomi was so mentally ill.
So many families suffer from secrets. It’s never worth it to keep secrets, honesty is an expression of love.
My heart breaks for Ashley. I pray she finds peace after discovering her mother.
Ashley is an insufferable, self absorbed, entitled person. She needs to find kindness, humanity and Jesus her self.
Wynonna too
How do you know?? If you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything! Who r u too JUDGE...@pamelapoulos5019

She was an all around beautiful soul. RIP Naomi
she was 76 when she passed NOT 54.... get it right if you are going to speak on it.
Thank you
Also, he mispronounced Wynonna's name. Which makes me question the accuracy of this.

'ABSOLUTELY'!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Depression and mental health issues affect alot of people and should not be taken lightly.
So sorry about Naomi's battle on mental health I loved to hear them sing and Ashley act
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. 😢

She didn't have a father figure. Bread their book.
@MCS7000 ok good to know.

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!

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 hope you found peace Naomi. We the fans will love and miss you forever. God bless Wynonna and Ashley
Naomi was a wonderful and beautiful lady inside and out. Rest in peace dear Lady❤
Let's leave them alone.
A beautiful soul that loved everyone
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.
Beautiful Family and so Heartbreaking...... God Bless❤
😢 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.
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,
She’s gone , and out of pain ,may God bless Naomi , it’s very sad that she suffered so much in life , , hopefully she happy and healthy in heaven
She was in despair. Heartbreaking.
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’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.

I lost my father to suicide. You come to realize that nothing you could have done would have changed the outcome. Something you have to live with. It's very sad, she was beautiful and talented.
Suicide devastates a family. We have had two in our family.
Depression really has no cure and sometimes it can be fatal.
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 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 heard Naomi used to like to leave 20.00 bills all around her town for the workers in stores and restaurants she frequented. I thought that was so sweet. RIP ❤
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
Naomi and Larry were married for 33 years. Michael Cimenella is Ashley's dad. Wynonna's biological dad was Charles Jordan.
😊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 😢
As you just shared many details about them yourself....lol
RIP my dear friend, you were a very beautiful woman inside and out, may you sing with the angels.
I saw them in concert with Ronnie Milsap in Greenwood,SC back in the mid 1980’s. They were phenomenal ! 😊
To many people don't realize what these people with mental illnesses are going through. DO NOT LOOK DOWN ON THESE PEOPLE & don't make their families feel ashamed, this is a sickness just like Cancer or any other disease. I was married to a man who was very talented with his music, but before he died with Cancer & many other diseases, we were married over 47 years. Many nights we sat up all night talking, he went many times to Psychiatrists over the years for help. At least I feel all the torment he went through here on earth, but never losing his Christian faith, has earned him a place in heaven. These people deserve it, God knows the torment these people are going through. I feel he forgives them & takes them to heaven, he does not send them to Hell, like I was brought up to believe. They just feel they can't fight anymore. God Bless them all.
It breaks my heart to see Ashley having face surgery. She was so pretty. She has taken on the same look as her mother. Deep sadness!
Naoimi was a beautiful woman. Her passing was heart breaking🎉
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.
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 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!
❤ 💔
I was heartbroken when I heard of Naomi's death. I met her and Wynona once. They were genuine women. Fun to talk to. A sad time in the girls lives. I hope the public will love and pray for them and not gossip and hurt them. God bless the girls. 💓❤️💖🙏🙏🙏😊
Depression is a silent taker. All the living only see a person who isn’t perfect and mean but only learns how great they were after the death. I’m scared for Ashley too.
Prayers to the family. ❤RIP Naomi❤ such a kind soul.
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 wish she hadn't left the girls that terrible note. How can Wynona ever get over reading that? It had to crush her soul to the core. I hope they are getting help to overcome any guilt that they feel. God bless them.
Ashley is starting to take on the same look that her mom had. Not good.
Naomi did not leave either daughter anything in her will. It went to Larry. A lot of this is not true and it saddens me to hear that this is not all truthful. You also left out that Naomi battled Hep C, which she contracted in her years as a nurse. That also takes a toll on a person. Wynonna (which is pronounced WHY-no-nuh) might've had a different dad but it didn't matter to her, do not know where you got some of this info. Jordan ABANDONED Naomi (Diana at the time) You make it sound like she cheated on Michael but she did NOT. He knew of her pregnancy and Jordan leaving her. It's half truths and someone NOT doing PROPER research before saying such things.
Thank You for speaking out about the "Other Diagnosis" she acquired while being a nurse.
So sad may she rest in peace. Blessings from Ireland 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️
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 ❤
She was a great singer so sad she didn’t get help.
She was so beautiful but that doesn't mean they don't have their struggles
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.
This video has me crying 😭 for my mommy. Literally.
I really miss them! I couldnt wait for them to get back together. Soooo sad.....RIP Noami
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.
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.
I have the second to worst case of bipolar in the world as one the worlds people
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.
@@TelishaMils-e1eprayers and healing for you. I have bipolar also, but Jesus has made me stable.
When will you leave this woman alone?
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.
I still wonder how the 2 daughters are doing. Ashley was the one who found her Mom, so heartbreaking. Prayers for them both.🙏🙏🙏
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.
It bothered me deeply, that she intentionally invited Ashley to her home when she knew she would kill herself . And she killed herself 1 day before she and daughter were supposed to receive a high honor award. She ruined that for daughter. Cruel
She was 76, not 54.
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!!
She was 76 mother 54.
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.
Love you, sweet lady may you rest in peace alongside my mama😢💔🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️👍✌️🎉😮
Ashley looks puffy.....not from crying.......maybe meds....three talents in one family, they were very lucky
She was on prednisone at the time for , I think a respiratory infection. Good eye.
I have chronic pain anddebilitating depression as well and i’ve been on every pill/ drug there is. Some made things better temporarily, some only made things worse. I’ve sought every form of therapy there is. It’s situational but when it hits? it hits HARD. Like can’t get out of bed, can’t eat. But at the same time can’t sleep. One minute i’m on fire the next i’m freezing. It’s like when I turned 25 my body turned on me and it’s never been the same since. The ONLY thing that makes it better is love and sometimes that doesn’t even help. I’ve tried 4 times and failed. Probably because i’m too afraid of what comes next or i’m too afraid of botching it and making my situation even worse. I have legal problems on top of it and an elderly Mom. She and my cats are all i have. I just can’t believe i’m still alive and im still grateful in a way but im so close to the edge it feels like one little push will push me over. So i very much understand why Naomi did what she did. I just hope I can find peace in my life before my Mom dies so she can leave this world knowing i’m going to be ok. I’d give anything to give her that. But it doesn’t seem likely at this point. Please pray for me
I'm praying for you.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I have struggled with chronic pain after a “failed”spinal surgery in 2014. I have limited mobility that has seemed to worsen over time. The loss of my dad to leukemia in 2012 and then my only sister to years of alcoholism in 2016. I miss them everyday. Grief hasn’t been easy. It has consumed me.
I can also relate. Some days are really hard to keep pushing.
Please be with me and keep pushing forward. There is so much in this life that is beautiful. Life is very difficult at times, of course, but it’s worth pushing forward. I have had to seek help a number of times over the years to cope with the loss of those I love so much and loss of so many parts of myself that come with the physical issues I have. I try to enjoy the small things in this life. I have so much to be thankful for. I try to remind myself of this often. I wish you the very best. Keep swimming!
@@marlenafarshee9850 Thank you 🙏🏼
@@blondieb6946 Thank you. I’ve just been through the hardest, two weeks of my life. I was in a very bad place that my bad decisions and addiction ended up putting me in. Im tired of the stigma i’m tired of all of it. But i very much appreciate your kind words and i’m so sorry what you’ve been through. I hope I never have to get operated on because I don’t really trust Dr’s 100%
@ thank you
WTH has Ashley Judd done to her once beautiful face?????
She was on medication. Prednisone
She was in a terrible accident in the jungle and has been a hard fought for healing. She's lucky to be alive and walking
My heart hurts for this family. Having mental illness in my own family, we see smiles behind the hidden pain.
We all need to beware of each others feelings. Touch base with one another! To the judds give it time.
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.
Ashley should’ve let her face age naturally though😰
Ashley has many of her own problems. Better focus on that.
she looks terrible
This is all such a lie. Who they picture when talking about Naomi’s first husband Michael is actually Larry Strickland. That is Naomi’s 2nd husband. (They don't even show a real photo of her first husband!) Geeze get it right if your going to take the time to make a post like this. The post it note is also a lie. Why make this kind of BS post? Shame on you!
It's so sad so sorry for both of your losses. Hold onto the good memories. May God comfort you both and bring you peace & healing.
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.
I am just so sorry for the girls. I hope they can cope. You never forget. And are never alone❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
I admire Naomi Judd for her talent and strength. Mental illness is truly devastating, but she overcame it to leave behind an incredible musical legacy.
Depression is the worst. Total darkness, no hope, all alone, nobody understands, nothing good to believe in.
This portion Bio did not mention she suffered hepatitis/ liver disease since 1990
Wow I miss her singing so much and her as a person 💙💕
Terrible plastic surgery Ashley, you don't need it!!
So very sad. Depression does horrible things to a life. I believe she loved her girls like crazy but it was a very codendent love. It was complicated due to lies for decades about paternity. Young people, realize your mistakes do matter for a lifetime. While it may be temporary fun it can ultimately lead to part of the reason you commit suicide. As the Sir Walter Scott poem goes, “oh the tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive.”
I would be heartbroken!? Just to have two daughters like that!?
I have NEVER heard anything about Larry being in their lives when they were small children.
