The poise and compassion that Ashley Judd speaks is remarkable outside of the trauma and devastation she is experiencing. Wow.
She is extraordinarily intelligent and self aware. She always has been. She’s very smart. She’s went to Harvard after all 😌🙏🏻🌸
I’m so sorry for your loss. Just know that you are helping a lot of people who suffer from this disease. Your mom would be so proud
Matthew 11:28-30
When she says: "and really love the ones who are with you.. love the ones who are with you" and tears streamed down her face, I felt her pain to the core of my being. I'm not even related and I'm extremely proud of her. This young lady and her sister have gone through so much horrible pain in their lives. May God bless and comfort their family!
@@ritasantillan1932 sorry dont read fairytale since i grew up!
Jeh God will help them to endure this horrible situation, it will makes them stronger, I love that, DNT quit before your miracle... beautiful...perfect for those of us in constant pains....
It’s not a disease.
Ashley spoke with such grace, love, and peace in her voice. Her words and softness felt like balm on an open wound. I can only pray that someone will be able to do the same for her and her family.
Jesus can. And they are allowing Him to carry them through this tremendous flood of grief.
He will w/great love & comfort. For as long as they need. 🕊
@Derrick Scott Pathetic Troll.
Let Jesus save you from yourself.
No One else is going to.
@@sonneversets3530 Amen.
"There is miracle but there is footwork". What a great line.
The strength Ashley showed my heart breaks for what she and the family is going through.
Hello Wendy how are you doing today.
Wish she didn’t have to address this publicly but her words are helpful for many of us. All of my love to Ashley and the entire family on this journey 🕊
I admire Ashley for stepping up publically because the lips will flap, and it proves no matter how famous, no matter how much money you have, mental illiness can strike any family, and there are people out there to help. My cousin went golfing the day before this past mother's day, & all was well. Cousin's buddy shot himself the on mother's day. Their circle of pal's are in shock especially my cousin who said they had a great golf game & everything was good (he thought). His pal was aged 31.
❤❤😢😢
She wanted to beat the press and social media comments to it. She was wise to speak out.
Girl she never even spoke to her mom lol her mom said they hardly speak to her but now omg we were so close
@@averyshenan958 what does your lol mean? Not easy to turn this into a laughing matter.
I can see why they wanted Ashley to be the spokesperson for the family. She is so eloquent and mindful when she talks.
Ashley is also a very intelligent woman.
I know. She has such a beautiful spirit about her.
@@nofirstorlast8405 She found her mom.
I can’t even imagine.
Prayers for Jesus strength.🙏
@@sonneversets3530 she found her mom dead? She didn’t lose her marbles and have a breakdown?!? She called her “pop”’and not 911? There ain’t that much “high functioning shock” in the world!
@@reginasmith9014 Um, she was visiting her mom as she always did when in the area.
Her mom asked her if she would stay.
Naomi used her own gun to kill herself in her room & Ashley found her.
Not unlike other similar scenes many others not famous have dealt with.
Ashley told her story before someone else did for them. Understandable.
She didn’t want to, but knew tabloids would have a field day, otherwise.
What’s so hard for you to grasp?
Pops was out of town. Of course 911/Police were called first, you poor fool.
I think you need to take a deep breath, a big glass of water w/your own meds & relax.
"Don't quit before your miracle..."
Father, Your Word says, "bless those that mourn, for they shall be comforted"
Please help this woman, her family and all those whom are cast down and depressed, no matter the circumstance.
Bless this woman, who in her own grief, still gave back by doing this interview and trying to help others. Dear God, we need you now.
Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Amen and God I need you everyday every moment..
Now and forever. Amen! ❤🙏🏻
Amen
AMEN AND THANK YOU FOR THIS PRAYER❤
I have an AMAZING amount of respect for Ashley
It is hard to lose anyone, but to lose them like this puts a sting in your heart that never goes away, my brother did the same in 2019…..many prayers to your family, may you all come together in love and heal as best you can. 🙏
❤️❤️❤️
My half-brother did too. I am so sorry for your loss.
No matter how you lose a loved one, it hurts and you never get over it. It's almost a year since my dad died suddenly after a heart attack and there's been an empty space in my family ever since. It doesn't get easier, but we have to learn to live with the loss.
@@sharonjensen3016 _There’s a difference._
Hopefully you will never find that difference out.
And hard as it can be, you do move on from one, better than the other...that leaves you in limbo...to put it in a nice nutshell.
I’m sorry for your loss.
As I am for all here, who have lost loved ones to death.
Unexpected, or otherwise.
Jesus can be of help & comfort, if we let Him.🕊
So so true. I got choked up reading your comment. Such powerful words Thk you
“We’re in the footsteps dept, God is in the results dept.” Powerful statement.
Yes!! I agree 100%. That statement immediately brought me to tears, as I felt it in my soul!
Footwork department is what she said
Indeed
As long as your footwork is in line with God's word. We get God results when we do it God's way.
@@sbeasley7585 I was quoting someone on the video on the video and I agree with you 100%
As someone who has dealt with depression off & on my whole life, including obsessive suicidal thoughts, I know how the disease can whittle away your sense of self and make you believe that you’re alone & unloved. Sending you wishes for comfort, peace and understanding as you grieve!
Wow! Those words describe it perfectly! "...the disease can whittle away your sense of self and make you believe that you're alone and unloved." Yep! 100%.
Hello Christina how are you doing today.
@@jarrypason9884 REPORTED For Incessant TROLLING!
Same here. I am so sorry to know others out there also feel so much pain. In my own darkest moments, I literally will start to believe that "this is how I can help my loved ones, if I go, then they can stop worrying about me etc.". I Know how this sounds logically. But in the dark moments when the disease tells you the worst things about yourself, you really believe everyone would be better off if you were gone. Not because of lack of love but because you feel like you cause people pain and anguish. Not to mention your own mental hell. It is such a terrible disease and I hope that Naomi's family and that anyone out there who has survived a loved one ending their suffering so suddenly, I just hope they know in their heart that this was in no way anyone's "fault" and the inner pain gets so bad that they believe it is best for their loved ones. Even though it is NOT and causes the worst pain and trauma for them. But the disease tricks us into truly thinking this way. My heart breaks for Ashley and Wynona and Larry. Just breaks for them.
@@JohnSmith-ij4yu Amen.
Satan has a field days w/us here...But he’s particularly successful w/his depression influences over who knows how many millions of tortured minds.
Thankfully his time here is growing very short...⌛
Jesus is everyone’s Only Hope.✝🙌
For you, Christina & others here, Please hang on to Him...♥
Such a raw thing to talk about so soon, but she articulated herself very well. I appreciate her being willing to talk about her mother's death. That she has gone through depression herself gives her a perspective many family members do not. I have been suicidal and always appreciate when someone is willing and able to speak about it. The more we can make resources and support available for each other, my hope is the fewer of us will be lost.
I have been suicidal to. And I didn't have anyone to lean on, didn't know how to get help,was also imbarresed I guess to admit it. I'm still sortof there. But I have decided to get help I going to go into 72hour clinic soon.
@Pam Abbott - Courage and love to you, sorry you didn't have anyone to lean on, I hope you can find good people your way that will change that as you ask for help, your so brave 💕
Amen
Ashley is such a brave soul and inspiration; all the Judd women are amazing and inspiring, thank you for speaking about something so personal and difficult.
Amen!
You mean like when she tried to get an airport worker fired because he called her sweetheart as a term of endearment? A job by the way that he needed while she swims around in her millions, and now her mothers! She's doing quite an acting job here, the little entitled, elitist snob but not as good as the one she did with the vagina on her head for the Me Too Movement! She's as mental as her mother!!!
Gosh how Ashley looks just like her momma 😍 thank you so much for sharing this. As an East Tennessee family also and a mother with depression I want you both to know you girls are so amazing!!!! Your momma is forever in our hearts here in TN!
This hit hard. My heart is breaking for Ashley and her family. I have suffered with depression my whole life. Everything she is saying is so true. Sending love, peace and prayers for her family and friends. I admire Ashley even more now because of her bravery to speak. God Bless her.
I admire her too.. amazing lovely woman and good heart..
Grief is love with nowhere to go…♥️
What a sweet, kind lady! 💖 I'm praying for you Ashley, through your intense grief! I went through it also with my Dad's passing in late 2020. I have anxiety and the 12 step group I used to go to is on zoom and has been since the pandemic started. I'm not really technically savvy but I pray a lot. God bless you, I know a lot of people around the world are praying for you, Ashley, Wynonna and Pop.🌷🌷🌷
Hello Patricia how are you doing today.

Hello Tracy how are you doing today?
Sooo beautiful Ashley speaks so eloquently as her mom did , such talented strong women , I so get it I lost my mom as well, love and prayers dear Ashley and Wy❤️❤️❤️
Hello Kristina how are you doing today.
I wish I could reach thru the screen and give Ashley a hug - my heart is just breaking for the Judd family. And especially for Ashley who was the one who found her mother. Heartbreaking on so many levels. And still, in her profound grief and shock, is wanting to bring voice to the larger issue of mental illness.
Hello Tracy how are you doing today.
My heart breaks.The whole situation is so overwhelming and sad.The mental illness is so profound I my family,and I love the Judds,and Naomi was such a bright light to many,and I can say without doubt,her death will bring a new meaning of life for so many.God works and uses our lives in some amazing ways.I respect and love the whole Judd trio.I pray daily they can get some peace.
Beautifully said❤️
Hello Robbie how are you doing today.
So glad Diane Sawyer was involved in this interview. She reflects compassion and understanding.
She really does. Not for one second did this conversation feel forced, or staged, as I should say.
She is so bright, so human. I myself learned a great deal in grief recovery group, I knew I needed help in dealing with my mom’s death 30 yrs ago and the leader of the group was so good to put this grieving process in perspective at the time. I recommend it for anyone who needs help with learning to cope with it.
I recommend giving your life to Jesus Christ and living for God through a good church through the Bible through prayers.
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules that doesn't work all the time
@@elizabethdillon4945 it does if you seek hard enough if you're desperate enough just read the Bible
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules she was religious and had access to everything she could want or need. In the very end, she felt no other way out
@@elizabethdillon4945 being religious doesn't do it being close to Jesus does do it and using every avenue Jesus provides. She never did Deliverance to my knowledge her church doesn't believe in Deliverance the Baptist Church she grew up in does not believe in Deliverance or the gifts of the Spirit. If she had gotten Deliverance she would have been free of depression because this was a demonic depression. I've done exorcisms myself and there is a depression that is demonic from demons and the only way to get rid of them is an exorcism of Deliverance unfortunately her church did not believe in that so she tried to do it through man's way through medicines way
It's so sad that this happened. I figured it out when they said she died from "mental illness". When they said if she "would have held on one more day" the wording confirmed it. She was a legend 🙌🏾😰 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 for her whole family
It's hard watching a parents last days especially when u know they're coming but just don't know when, watching my daddy pass from cancer was a beautiful experience but still very much heartbreaking but the blessing was we all were there, he was in his own home with his wife an children an grandchildren an it just so happened we all were there at that moment 🕊️💐🤍💐🕊️
I can’t imagine the pain of having to deal with what she is going through (especially the way in which her mom took her life) and to be in the public eye.
My heart goes out to all involved and for all who go through something like it.
especially knowing what she went through recently with her fractures and having to be carried out of the Jungle on a stretcher. My God, this woman has been pushed to the edge herself. May she and her loved ones heal in beauty.
As a little girl in the south, I grew up listening to & admiring the Judds. Seeing & hearing such talented, faithful, God fearing, intelligent, beautiful, honest, & most importantly genuine ladies was a huge inspiration. I especially appreciated the honesty & unashamed openness with which they were both willing, & kind enough to share their struggles to help others. Their music is often like the soundtrack for my memories & I treasure that as I would a gift. As someone who’s lived through traumatic formative years that resulted in a continuing battle & struggle with my mental health & well-being, it really helped to know I wasn’t alone. To know no matter how great or how small our status or stature in life, it is a complicated kind of dance of endurance of ups & downs the valleys & mountains for us all was helpful. There is a deep pain that comes with exposing vulnerabilities by opening up about your difficulties. Those who have such empathy that they’re willing to endure it because they care so deeply about helping others, to me is an example of selfless love. That kind of quality in a person raises them from simply being endearing to an admirable, powerful, motivational, & incredibly inspirational.
My heart goes out to the Judd family. For me, they were such a staple in my life that it almost feels like we all share in their loss of a beloved family member. Naomi leaves behind an incredibly legacy & a powerful message. More often than not we can see the beauty & best in others they can’t see in themselves. Remind those you cherish & adore not only that you do, but why you do. Encourage them, labor with them, & never take a single breath for granted. I pray the grace, peace, & comfort only God can give be with them & strengthen them in their loss.
Amen sister stay close to Jesus in prayer. If you're still dealing with mental health problems just find a good Pentecostal Church where they do Deliverance. This is what Diana her real name should have done. The Baptists don't do it the Methodist don't do it the Roman Catholic Church doesn't do it right. Getting Deliverance or an exorcism can set you free from all the trauma from all the pain of the past. Even if it's not your fault as a child trauma can cause demons to come into your life it's not fair I know. But this is what is needed in society besides society getting back into the church instead of throwing God away throwing the Bible away throwing Jesus away
I suffer from mental illness. My heart is so broken for you ,Wynonna and your Pop. I saw the pain on your mom's face as she shared her disease.....She was tired.....I know she is in God's Glory now.
I agree sister Deborah but what is your opinion on a Christian committing suicide? Also I wonder what the conversation was like between Ashley and her mother before Ashley went to answer the door? Something had to have been said that pushed her mother over the edge at that moment
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules You are truly a horrific faux Xhristian. Your multiple comments are so incredibly insensitive, callous, uneducated, remarkably ignorant & obtuse, cruel, victim shaming & downright speculatively presumptuous to the point of gossip & rumor spreading. Shame on you! You need Jesus more than anyone. #NotTodaySatan #BackToThePit
Such an articulate, loving, knowing soul. Ashley has clearly walked the walk. The depth and honestly of what she shared is such a gift to those who listened. God Bless you, your dear mother and your family. You will all be together again.
Amen 🙏
I could not be more proud of this incredible woman for walking this very difficult path, so beautifully and honorably. You are your mother's legacy, Ashley! You are her voice in this pivotal and painful hour. How great the wisdom and the love that Naomi instilled in you! So many prayers I have offered for you and Wy, and especially your Mama that you'll all get through this and come out the other side, like warriors, strong and vigilant. She was not her disease. She was a true life hero to so many people of all faiths, colors, ages... And SO ARE YOU! Love you, Ashley! 💝🙏💝
two beautiful women... Diane was so compassionate and Ashley so eloquent in her hour of pain and loss. God bless.
I never understood why she changed her name I think Diana is a beautiful name
Warm, sensitive interview. Brought tears to my eyes and I'm a medical professional.
Well I know her mother is in heaven but I'm wondering how come she didn't hear a gunshot? What was that conversation like before she answered the door? And why did her mother pick that moment?
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules Some things are not meant for us to know.
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules Guess you’ll have to ask Jesus to help you not lose sleep over things that are none of your business.
@@sonneversets3530 it is our concern, we care for this family. I asked myself the same, why she killed herself when her daugther was there? When she just stepped away to open the door, must people do it when they are by themselves.
@@rebecasanchez6025 Excuse me, but the gory details are not your business!
Your ‘concern’ is bogus. You’re morbidly ‘curious’ & want to know for your own sad satisfaction.
They owe you nothing!
If you’re so ‘concerned’, & ‘care’, pray for their continued strength.
Leave the speculations for the gossip columns. Which I’m sure you’ll be very interested in what they have to say.
The ONLY reason Ashley came fwd w/ANY info, was to try to cut those sick ppl off, before they could run wild w/their ‘theories’.
This is a nightmare for them! As it has been for too many others, who haven’t had to air their personal laundry out for the world, to stop them from ‘talking.’
You don’t know that it was done “when she stepped away to open the door!”
She only went to her moms room b/c someone came to visit her. It could have been done well before that! When Ashley may have been outside the home. *You don’t know! So please **_stop_** fueling gossip!* IF you ‘care’ about them.🙄
Of course most do it when alone. Duh. She may not have been totally alone, but she was alone in her room.
And many have done it when home w/others present & did it in their room, or basement. Especially younger ppl & teens.
You can’t ‘teach’ me anything dear. I worked w/big city crime for years. Seen it all.
You will never know the _actual details & truth._ Only Ashley & Wynonna will.
So go spin your sad need in a more positive direction & help someone you know needs it. You’ll feel better, & they’ll be better for it.
She is so blessed to look so much like her mother. 💗
My heart breaks for Wynonna and Ashley. It's hard to loose a loved one but loosing someone to suicide is just devastating. I pray for the both of you. I hope you have a strong sister bond to get you through the hard times. Love one another always
Hello Margaret how are you doing today.
God Bless Miss Ashley! Sending her prayer, love, respect & privacy!
A really beautiful and poignant exchange; Ashley's loving presence while simultaneously holding her grief is profoundly touching.
Hello Reverend,
So do you think Naomi is in heaven? I personally do but I wonder if she ever Sought Deliverance? Another words an exorcism or 2 for all the things she went through in life? I don't think she ever did because she was raised in the Baptist Church I heard that she was involved with a Methodist Church the last couple of years. The only church that does exorcisms are Pentecostals and charismatics. But I'm not sure if she ever went to a Pentecostal Church if she had I think she would still be with us.
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules , oh Lord not a " holy roller " church
@@sherryhartin2055 YEP & THE BEST ONE OF ALL DENOMINATIONS

My mother died at 56 from alcohol. I never knew any other kind of Mother. I was abused in every single way from the age of 3. I am now 61, and can still literally taste the cigarette put in my mouth, and the alcohol poured down my throat….as a toddler. I have memories that no human should ever have.
I grew up on a California beach, in Santa Cruz….and witnessed my Mother walk into the ocean several times…. attempting suicide. The ocean was literally across a narrow road and down some boulders. It took 60 seconds to get from our front door to the water’s edge. She could not swim. I was 8 when I retrieved her from the ocean the first time……and let’s just say I became a world class swimmer by the time I was 8 1/2.
As a child I came to the conclusion that while the world itself, meaning Earth, is staggeringly beautiful, life itself can be so cruel. LIFE IS EASY FOR NO ONE. Not one single person.
And it’s still true today, I still feel this way despite what SOCIAL MEDIA tries to cram down our throats. There is a price to pay for residency here- and that price is experiencing AND overcoming life, and finding a path to survive on. If you’re doing really well, you find a path that allows you to thrive…. eventually. It won’t be easy. But when you DO experience that first feeling of coming through a lifetime of bad experiences, to the OTHER side? It can be wonderful. Refreshing, rejuvenating, blissful…..but we must stay vigilant, for that OTHER side remains… in the distance…
Ive lived with an abusive alcoholic so I sort of get it. I was an adult and it was traumatizing enough as an adult. I can't only imagine what growing up with a drunk as a parent must be. I have some idea. Never knowing what was going to happen next. Never being able to bring anyone home since you never know what might be going on or what other drunk they might have brought home. Sleepless night due to being kept up by said drunk. Hopefully you have put it behind you and gone on with your life the best you can.
You need an Oscar ! For presenting the story of your dysfunctional family………
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
May you find peace and contentment

Grief can be infinite & finding ways through it so important. Ashley how true to make sure you love those you have while you have them & let them know. Thank you Diane Sawyer for your tact & empathy in your interviewing.
My heart has been breaking for both you girls .. I lost my husband 5 yrs ago to suicide ..I still struggle with all the unanswered questions that I will nvr get .I'm so very sorry your are on this so very difficult road as well..Being upfront and open as you've been I believe is the 1st step in grieving process of this kind of loss..I know the world is grieving with you Ashley and Wynonna and Pop. Your Mom was a Beautiful soul and she will forever be remembered🤗😘❤❤
I’m so sorry.

@Derrick Scott Stop Trolling.
I love her, see is one AMAZING woman. A leader, boots on the ground human. Prayers to all the family.
Beautiful woman inside and out. Prayers sent.
My very beautiful mother died a week before Naomi… at the age of 80… after a battle with dementia, that robbed her of her dignity and humanity… in the end, she chose to quit eating and drinking… it was evident that she was still able to swallow, but, she refused to eat or drink… she knew who we were until her last breath.
The death of Naomi Judd came so soon after my mothers passing, that it sparked an interest in me, about how her life ended in this tragedy. I reflected alot on our mother/daughter relationship… even though she was my dearest friend, we had rocky times too.
Interviews Naomi gave, indicated that her dark depression began soon after her last tour… for which a documentary recorded the events… most revealing were the last two episodes. There was also a Christmas special Wynonna did in 2020, for KRplus from her home. I suspect the timing and circumstances, surrounding the day she chose to leave this world were not coincidence, or taken lightly.
I suspect that Naomi experienced many hurts, from those she loved, devoted.and trusted most, based on her interviews and the documentary.
Hopefully, there will be meaningful reflection. I believe her family are strong believers in the advice given to us in the Bible, and they will use that to help them heal and move forward in love and care. Matthew 18: 15-17.
I have no idea how the pressure for fame impacts a family… but, based on their choice to remain in close proximity to each other, I’m sure they had a great love for each other, and my heart goes out to them in these days of grief.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss BUT some conditions are worse than death. Dementia is one of them. There is a huge difference between natural death & suicide that leaves loved ones feeling guilty. A lot of depression involves extreme self-centeredness. I speak from experience.
Sorry for the loss of your mom
@@forreal245 “A lot of depression involves extreme self-centeredness “ …very interesting statement. What does it mean?
@@blazee3895 sure sounds to me like it means when you commit suicide you don't care what you're doing to the people you leave behind

I love them so much.praying for them. 🙏
You are a brave woman Ashley. Thank you for your selfless example even as you suffer such a great loss.
Bless them my heart aches for them
ashley i am with you, after loosing my sister to vascular dementia last year, ( its a horrible sickness) i going the same grief as u are, many time i have come to the edge of taking my own life, god bless you
Please don't take your life. I lost only sister a year half ago. I was paralyzed with grief for the first few months, I had to force myself to get off the couch to go to bathroom, eat or do any basic human functions. I was not suicidal, but I had this strong desire to go and be with her. It hasn't been a day that I haven't cried since. She too, suffered for a few months before she died. My two brothers and I, all have PTSD from seeing her suffer.
My point is that, you are not alone, we all will feel tremendous loss at one point or another in our lives. Your life is as precious as your sister's, so don't inflict the same kind of heartbreak to your living loved ones. Just remember as sad as you feel now, the pain that the loved ones will feel after a suicide is 100X worse. Just hang in there, please. Grief is universal, and you're still alive.
Try to doing random act of kindness towards others. I donated to charities after she passed, and on her first year anniversary. But you can do many things that costs very little, or no money. Like go visit, or call a lonely elderly neighbour. It's a scientific fact, that pleasure parts of the brain light up, not only on the person who is doing the good deed, and the person who is receiving it, but it also on people who witness the act of kindness!
Thoughts are with the family at such a difficult time. Heard about this story in the UK, and my heartfelt condolences to anyone who has lost a loved one or those who are currently suffering from mental illness. There is hope. The brain lies to you and makes you feel like there’s not. But, you *can* feel better again and you will. It will pass, this storm.
Naomi’s went on for _years_ ...
As have others in deep depression.
They don’t see an end. Understandably.

Oh Ashley, you are in everyone’s prayers. I understand your grief. Currently going through it also. My daughter. 🥲
I am amazed that Ashley was able to do a sit down interview so soon after her mother's passing! I lost my mom unexpectedly a few months ago. I cannot imagine getting dressed and putting makeup on and speaking coherently a week after her passing- I was a mess.
Hello Vivian how are you doing today/
@@jarrypason9884 Not great. Thanks for asking,
@@LittleMissHoop Am from Arizona Tucson, And you?
The memorial for Naomi Judd was heart breaking but beautiful. I was thinking how her daughters are dealing with this incredible loss but had to stay in control on stage. I must say both did a wonderful job. I come from a family that has a mental illness so I know how it feels!!!! Sometimes I believe having a mental illness is worse than having a pysical Illness .
Breaks my heart feeling her raw pain. Prayers for your family.
So sorry for your loss, PRAYING for strength for all the family! Love & Hugs!
Thinking of the Judd family. Sending my prayers. ❤️✝️
Praying for the family. I have two generations of family members suffering with mental health issues. I am a mother of four adult children, three that have been diagnosed with PTSD, and depression. I also have a grandson that has been diagnosed with PTSD. As a mother/grandmother, the struggle is real. My heart goes out to all the family. I loved the 3C's Ashley referred to. I learned that in a 12 step program I'm a member of.💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏
Hope you and your family give your lives to Jesus Christ our God and creator of all things. He's the only one that can help us when medication can't
Wow, my family and I are all christians, and we love and trust the Lord.
@@y.t.grandma6419 well you must be born again you must repent of your sins, pray everyday read the Bible everyday find a good Pentecostal Church to go to make good Christian friends and all of these things with God's holy spirit will help you and your family with any kind of mental illnesses. Plus whatever medications you take
@@y.t.grandma6419 Don't mind that ignorant troll. Just rebuke their ignorant spirit. They're all over this thread leaving insensitive, salacious, thoughtless comments & speculative gossip & starting rumors.
oh my gosh i'm so sorry for your loss i just loved your music
Praying for the family!💜🙏😢
Ashley is a strong person. She managed to articulately impart helpful information to others who are suffering, even at the height of her own devastating grief and trauma. Holding you and your family in my heart, Ashley. 💜🇦🇺🇨🇦
GMA, the typo in the title needs to be corrected.
Bless your entire family💓
Loved her and her family for forever. My oma would be so sad right now. I hope they are in reaches of each other. Sending love and healing vibes every night.
So sorry for your loss, Ashley. 💔
I struggled with depression and thoughts of suicide for many years. It comes and goes. Recently, I've been able to manage it. I pray a lot. I focus on doing more for others, being a kinder person, and being kind to myself.
Depression is not easy, and those who don't deal with it can't understand it. We feel alone almost as if we're slowly disappearing or fading.
I have learned that if I talk about my depression, it helps me to snap out of it.
If you're dealing with depression, find someone to talk too. People do care. Don't stay silent! 🙏
"I pray alot" keeps you helps you. Prayer is the answer.
My heart, tears and prayers are with this remarkable family. May God watch over them, comfort them and guide them through this difficult time.
She is helping so many people by sharing her grief . May God bless and comfort her and her family through her lost
So sad and poor Ashley having to find her. Blessing to all of you.
As a woman in recovery , 12 step programs are for all of us.
it is sad that being a public figure, you feel obligated to the public to share information that for most of us is held privately/ this family is going through trauma/ God continue to give these sisters the strength they need as the openly share what they are going through - send healing angels to minister to their broken hearts
“I was in high-functioning shock.” That resonated with me. I was like that the first few weeks after my mom died. You can’t really process it all at first.
Prayers for the family losing your mother is the hardest no matter how they die lost mine in 2017 from natural causes.
I can’t imagine what Ashley is going through after finding her mom. The only question I have is why would she want her daughter to find her like that?
It's a disease, but she also made a choice. I'm a mother, I will never understand her putting her daughter's through that. Asking Ashley to stay then directly doing that. No guns should have been in that home.
That is my question too it must have been her ilness she was totally not in touch with reality.
@@selenaphillips5785 I agree with you and I remember hearing yrs ago that she threatened to shoot herself so I don't understand why they would have guns in the home .
I knew one lady from our village, her husband drank a lot and would often go drive around town looking for liquor and she decided to put a stop on it, so she hid his keys. In one of the episodes, where he needed his drink and she wasn’t giving in, he claimed he would kill himself (as always). She said fine, so he went and found a shotgun in the house that was hidden for 60 years, came back with it and shot himself in the face. She was in such shock, that she stood on the same spot for 3 days until another neighbor walked in for something. I assume, when you live with someone with mental illness, you get conditioned to certain aspects of their behavior and don’t take half the things to your heart, because you get emotionally exhausted dealing with it on top of your own life problems or tired over giving all the help and aid the other one is not valuing. I guess that’s why she feels she wished she would’ve done something differently or it was preventable. It’s important to promote support groups for people dealing with mentally ill family members etc, just to stay alert, sane and not feel lonely in all of it.
She wasn’t thinking clearly. The disease had won. Probably when Ashley left the room, the thought came to her that this was her only opportunity… even though she had just before that asked Ashley to stay with her.
She would have known that the family friend was there to comfort Ashley and that Wynonna was also in town. So she knew Ashley wouldn’t be alone.
But most likely, as to why, an impulsive thought hit her that this might have been her only opportunity to be alone. So she took it.
The U.S. needs to follow Switzerland’s lead and open assisted end-of-life facilities. No one should have to find the body of a loved one like Ashley did, it’s too traumatizing. Sometimes people just come to the end of their rope, struggling for years to get better but never finding peace. Everyone deserves to die with dignity.
One thing it's not biblical another thing is there is hope in God Jesus Christ if more people would seek him out this would not happen as much
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules Your comment is so insensitive. Mental illness is not a flaw of character or lack of Christ, no more than being a Christian & suffering diabetes is! Would you say the same to someone who died of diabetes?? Make it seem like it was a lack of faith they weren't healed from their diabetes?? See the ignorance in your comment yet, bc we all do, inc Jesus Himself. Depression is genetic, hereditary, chemical & a mood regulation disorder, along with often times childhood trauma. Naomi loved the Lord, had a fantastic relationship with Christ but like cancer, diabetes, congestive heart failure, ALS, Covid, etc. Christians still die despite being devout believers with great faith. It's a disease, an insidious one that is a brain disorder, mood disorder, personality disorder, chemical disorder, genetic disorder. Has absolutely nothing to do with having a relationship with Christ. Christians still have illnesses & die from them! Brain disorders are no different! Christians like you do Jesus a great disservice pretending ignorantly that a brain disorder is different than any other organ disorder or disease! Stop it! You're ignorant & uneducated & make Christians who are mentally ill through no fault of their own feel worse & want to die more when they're not miraculously healed by their faith alone.
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules But Naomi was deeply religious. Spirituality is a wonderful thing, but mental health is a disease. Would you tell a Stage 4 cancer patient that they will get better if they believe in God more?
This is very true; we won't let our pets suffer but watch as our loved ones do? How can we allow this?
@@pam0626 the Lord expects us to do everything we can and yes pray to him in desperation for him to heal you. Always do that but always seek the best treatments chemotherapy and radiation ARE NOT that treatment
Such a tough lady.bless her such a beautiful lady her and her momma and sister
You and your family are deeply loved. We all grieve for your loss. Thank you for sharing your family story. Made to help others.
I feel so bad for this family. Never been an Ashley Judd fan but ALWAYS thought her mother was a precious soul.
I was until she left her faith for Hollywood doing all kinds of Wicked acting. Then those comments about Donald Trump! I know that had to have pained her mother a lot. So my question is:
What was the conversation like between Ashley and her mother before the guests arrived? How come she didn't hear a gunshot ? I'm betting they had a heated argument that pushed her mother over the edge. Still not sure how she could not have heard a gunshot
It's bizarre & quite telling of your own character you thought you needed to preference your comment by stating your dislike of someone in their worst moment first, then say how much you loved their mother instead. Mental illness is indeed something you can relate to Naomi by.

Sometimes our mental health is affected by how loved ones treat you. This ghosting of parents stuff kills. The world needs love, what we live and put up with is shameful.
Aaah… hurt people hurt people. If we choose to or try and ignore the pain it does not go away and only imputes it’s damage, not only on ourselves but to those around us who we say and so want to love.
Grief will find you even if you do not recognize it as grief. Totally agree with Ashley that we try and do the footwork God is in charge of the results. We choose to do the work and in that find the freedom of Gods grace and redemption.
MINE WILL NOT BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO HURT ME ANYMORE. GOD CAN HAVE THEM.
@@jcp5890 good to hear you have removed yourself, if others are not willing to do the work leaving IS taking care of yourself. I do believe all are redeemable but has to start with each individuals choice to learn a new loving way. Take care and best to you!
JCP, I'm sure of what you say about our mental health being affected by how our loved ones treat us. I know it firsthand. It has destroyed me. Thank you for your words of validation. I'm sorry you live this pain as well.
@@ravenraven966 the Bible says if mother and Father forsake me God will take me Up so give your life to Jesus Christ become a born again Christian and watch what he does for you especially with his love
So sorry for your loss. God bless you and keep you. I have suffered from depression on and off for years. I always knew something was wrong but could not openly talk about it back then.
My condolences to the family, RIP Naomi, going to be truly miss, from a fan. 😭❤.
My baby girl of 12 days died in my arms...I have grieved forever...O have No One by my side...Zero support from my heartless immediate family member. I have God and my new church family that were there.
My Faith in God carried me! Grieving process...life hardship is not mental illness. We get down. We get up!
It's really not a competition.
2:05 “And I go back to those Three C’s I mentioned: I didn’t Cause it, I can’t Control it and I didn’t can’t Cure it!”
So touching!!
Ashley Judd is very articulate, well spoken. She speaks eloquently.
I have one very stupid question. Why was there a gun available to her and where she was?
Everyone in the south has a gun, haven’t ya heard?
Anyone can get a gun
My question is how come Ashley didn't hear the gunshot? Since they were the only two in the house what was that conversation like in her mother's bedroom before she went downstairs to answer the door? Why would her mother pick that moment after that conversation? Because I know they didn't get along very well because of Ashley's political views liberal left-wing agenda hatred of Donald Trump. So I really would like to know what that conversation was about hopefully the truth comes out!
Doubt the real truth will ever come out.
I wonder if she tried hallucinogens like magic mushrooms. They are finding these to be more effective than anti-depressant drugs and sometimes people are "cured" after a single dose.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I’m so sorry that you found her. I’m sorry for the pain and suffering that you and Wynonna went through with your mom.
One of my siblings took their life years ago. Your words are so helpful, the three C’s.
You’ve all been in my prayers. 🙏
My heart hurts so very much for Pop, Winona, Ashley. Y’all are strong, amazing women. Take the time YOU need to take care of yourself and begin to heal. Love Susan from Louisiana. Y’all will ALWAYS be in my heart and prayers. Love from Louisiana
My thoughts and prayers go out to Ashley, Wynona and Larry during these difficult times.So sorry for y'all loss Can't stop wondering why knowing Naomi's suicide ideations along w depression,why pray tell was there a gun in the house in the first place... 🙏🥀
I hope that doctors will listen and heed when clients suffers from depression and channel them to right treatments not to easily label them as lazy, malingerers drug seekers worse if on work related in jury depression as seeking monetary gain. I am glad that despite the stigma attached to mental illness, I think she did a great service to heed and let medical experts take a deeper scientific studies and understanding of this illness. May she rest in peace.
I'm also afraid one might get locked up if they ask for help.
The Judds were always beautiful kind and loving women. They still are and I pray that their grief will be comforted each day will become better. I lost my mom to cancer two years ago and I’m still grieving I can’t imagine what it’s like to lose a parent to suicide but that is between Naomi and her God no one should judge her. My prayers love and comfort go to Wynonna and Ashley and Naomi‘s husband and family.
Ashley’s grace is amazing.
Naomi s husband was in Europe the day before Naomi was supposed to be inducted into the CMA for a lifetime award ? Really ? Does that make sense to anyone be cause that definitely does not make any sense to me. Why would Naomis be traveling instead of being with the love of his life on one of the most important days of her life ?
You're right that doesn't make any sense why would he be in Europe he doesn't have to work! My question is,
How come Ashley didn't hear a gunshot? Since they were the only two in the house what was that conversation like in her mother's bedroom before she went downstairs to answer the door? Why would her mother pick that moment after that conversation? I sure hope we get answers that the real truth comes out because I know they didn't get along because of Ashley's political views Hollywood elite friends being a supporter of the left wing liberal agenda which her mother was totally against
We do not need to know that.
@@surlespasdondine The police want to understand that. They aren't convinced this was suicide. If they were convinced this was suicide , they wouldn't be holding the body for twelve weeks. If they believed this was suicide , they would have already handed the body over to the Judds to be buried.
I describe it as trying to climb out of a long dark whole.
Sending you love Ashley. Stay strong and focused. ❤️
I am truly sorry for your loss. Like she said The Loss is as large is the Love you have for them. My Uncle was secretly suffering and he was wonderful kind so loving .We have a huge family but not one of us could see the pain and agony thru his beautiful smile. He went out one day not even 3 blocks from his home and was so distraught because he got lost an feared he had dementia. He finally got home an took his life. He was 79 yrs old.
