Wynonna Judd Opens Up About Her Mother's Death
Wynonna Judd and her mother Naomi Judd made quite the singing duo. Naomi's death shoot the country music world last month. Wynonna opened herself up to her fans on Instagram and spoke a little about her mother's suicide and a lout about what she knows. One thing that tugged at my heart was how Wynonna explained the struggle she's faced since her mother's death.
The 58-year-old country singer wrote about how there is “so much happening in the world right now” without really specifying all of what she was referencing. She then said that before she decided to sit down and write that she really didn’t “know what to say” she recalled advice she got from her life coach who said “what do you know” and that’s what she wrote about.
“I DO know, that the pain of losing Mom on 4/30 to suicide is so great, that I often feel like I’m not ever going to be able to fully accept and surrender to the truth that she left the way she did,” Judd shared. “This cannot be how The Judds story ends. I DO know, that in order to be a healthier grandparent to my firstborn grandchild Kaliyah, {born 4/13, 2 weeks & 2 days before Mom left}, to break the cycle of addiction & family dysfunction, that I must continue to show up for myself {first} and do the personal healing work.”
“I know that it is a simple steps program, and those steps are not easy to take at times,” she added. “Therefore, I’ve made a commitment to keep doing the ‘next right thing,’ and schedule weekly appointments so that I continue with the ongoing work, even when I have good days. I DO know, that I feel so helpless—right now especially.”
“I DO know, that as corny as it sounds, ‘Love Can Build A Bridge,'” the county singer continued. “I find myself humming the song that Mom wrote for the fans, to myself here on the farm at night. I really DO know, that I’m not able to do this grieving thing all by myself, and that it’s okay to reach out for help. I will continue to fight for my faith, for my SELF, for my family, and I WILL continue to show up & sing.”
The singer thanked her fans for their support and signed off with love.
