Oh Wow I just heard that Naomi Judd just passed away. How sad!!!!!!! "(

I read she passed due to mental illness, so sad, not sure what that meant.  I grew up listening to The Judds,  loved thier music.

Mama hes crazy crazy over me, thats the one song thats been playing in my head since I heard about her passing.

So sad. I loved  her.

Most are thinking suicide. In her book she talks about thoughts of suicide ....depression and how she battled it....so sad.

Her daughter's statement said her death was related to mental illness -- leads me to believe it was suicide. I saw a news report today that her family is going on with the  Country Music Hall of Fame induction happening tonight -- Wynonna will attend. The family stated they wished to go forward with the ceremony. 

Naomi Judd will be honored with a special programming tonight on CMT.. 

I've actually been semi trying to avoid this subject.  My late teens were filled with The Judd's music, it was the first concert my mom ever attended, The Heartland Tour (still have the sweatshirt!) , the girls I coached in gymnastics grew up on The Judds whether they liked it or not, LOL!!!! One of them in particular did, she became a Juddhead ;-) and then we both became big Wynonna fans when Naomi retired, Their music is an album of my life from 18's years of age to still at 57.  I will never hear Grandpa without thinking ofanother one of my one gymnast that used to sing the one line "did daddy's really never go away" as "did daddy's really never send thier kids away" (whole other story and we've stayed in contact for over 34 years And I send her a snippet of that song everytime I see Wy in concert and think of her) .Why Not Me wAs one of my mom's favorites, along with Have Mercy and watch out in the car if Rocking with the Rythym of the Rain came on cause the old girl was going to rock out, LOL!!!  How I miss those car rides with my mom <3 I worry excessively about the young lady that became a bigger Judd's fan and Wy fan than even myself, she has spent quite a bit of time on Zoom cAlls with Wynonna thru the pandemic, they spoke at length about mental health. Wynonna has never been shy about her's and she and my former gymnast shared a lot of introspective moments thru those zoom calls as my former gymnast has dealt with some issues also.  I pray for that entire family, WynonnA, Ashley, Larry, you know they are asking themselves today what signs they missed but I think in reality when you have dealt with these issues your whole life you get pretty good at hiding them by the time you are 76 years old.

So sad.  There were plenty of interviews out there with her talking about her mental illness and even her book River of Time but it was still such a shock.
