I’m amazed at her strength. She fought SO HARD for so long to stay alive. For others. People see suicide as weak or the cowards way out. But they fail to see the years long fight to stay alive.
So true, people who haven't been dragged to the depths of hell by this disease, have no idea what a selfless, heroic fight it is to live each day in inexpressible pain, often only for the sake of loved ones. That poor poor lady. I hope she is finally at peace.
As someone who also suffers from severe treatment-resistant depression, I feel that it's selfish of everyone else around us to expect us to go on living and suffering just to spare them the pain of loss. I've lost close loved ones and know that grief is fleeting and eventually tolerable; depression is relentless and cruel. It's like a monster that wants you dead, all day every day. It's not selfish to leave; it's a final act of courage for people who bravely battle this merciless disease.
@@ruinsane100 thank you for your honest comment. I know it will basically take a miracle but, i just prayed to God to heal you so you can live a happy and victorious life. I know you are doing everything you can.
People can be born Celiac and whole family tree maybe Celiac. She may be helped fast by no gluten/GMO/soy/drugs and taking supplements/sunlight/fish oil/Mg/Zn/Amour thyroid and more. People don't realize antidepression drugs may cause worse depression/suicidal thoughts and are not the answer. The answer is natural help and gluten free/Vit D3/sunlight/Vit B12 etc and detoxing etc.
No it isn't. Poor people in the Third World experience childhood trauma, but don't flounce around wailing about 'muh depression'. This is a symptom of excess, and way too much safety.
@@DP-jy2ge That may be true, however, OBVIOUSLY, that's mainly because most desperately poor 3rd world people living in unstable, volatile, impoverished, countries are, often, merely just trying to SURVIVE for another day. But, make no mistake, the majority, undoubtedly, is probably majorly depressed, but because they're constantly, desperately trying to find food to survive, or fleeing persecutors, etc, and, when nobody seems to care about their desperate struggles, or be able to truly help them remedy it, long-term, if at all, they certainly aren't going to be complaining about, or publicly analyzing their chronic depression or PTSD when food, water, shelter & safety is, foremost, understandably, in their often traumatized minds. It is true that modern day Western societies have such a, in comparison, educated & competitive, yet leisurely, and yes, spoiled & narcissistic culture, with unattainably, high expectations & goals for individual, personal success & happiness, that it has become a virtual hothouse for mental & emotional, personal, as well as social, malaise & maladies. Americans, too, once were long stoic, tough, & realistic, way back in the rough, unforgiving, "olden days"...
@@Shasha8674 Please don't judge people who have depression. If you are not afflicted then you don't know how horrible it is. And if you haven't been raped by a family member, you really don't have a right.
@@evelynflindsey7557 Celiac may cause depression. You are judging me. I did not judge anyone. Celiac help may help depression fast. I know about depression and how drugs can make it worse and natural help can help. Whole family trees maybe Celiac which may cause addictions/suicidal thoughts/depression/abuse etc..
As a child that was molested, I thank God that my mother put me into therapy for 4yrs and it saved my soul as a child. My 💔 for Naomi and I hope she’s at peace now 🕊
I’d say sorry this happened to you, but I don’t like to make it seem like I have pity to a survivor. So, I shall say “You are a survivor. You are a child who mattered & who didn’t do anything wrong. You, & the child within you, are loved.” ❤️
@@erinmurphyart4590 Thank You for your kind words. I lost my childhood.. I had to learn and deal with adult sexual issues that no child should know about. Family gad critisized my mother stating she was allowing me to grow up too fast. One day she snapped and said my daughter wasnt given a choice and you keep your mouth off my daughter and how I deal with her. Rest Easy Mommy 🌹 You are my hero..
Looking at her say she is still here, and now she’s not… as someone also with treatment resistant depression, I promise I’ll never give up. I wish she could know, she helped my resolve. Rest In Peace queen.
@@salookie8000 That might not be good for some ppl though. There are times certain strains of cannabis can actually make my anxiety worse. Especially social anxiety. There are also times certain strains help. Problem is I never know when I'm hitting a low cycle in my anxiety disorder & I also never know what kind of cannabis I'm getting since I have to buy it black market. I have trained myself to meditate through it now mostly, but sometimes I can't control the negative thought patterns that some strains of cannabis can awaken. I just have to ride it out. I have good results using delta 8. I don't get the paranoia. If cannabis was legal everywhere, I might not even have this issue. As I can simply ask for something that helps with anxiety/depression. With black market you get what you get.
@@ladyscarfaceangel4616 - The low temp vapor methods didn't cause me anxiety ever. At 350 degrees it is released as a noncombustible gas. It has something to do with temperature. At high temps it always caused me a disorienting anxiety. No one should burn cannabis in my opinion due to anxiety attacks. Good to know delta 8 is safer. CBD flower is good alternative too. If people are manic depressants, my recommendation #1 is try vaping it at 350 degrees F as grounded flower (Delta 8, CBD, or Delta 9) sativas. The effect is totally different than burning. I don't know what else to say. It's almost night and day difference.
Child molestors should get the death penalty. So many molested kids suffer with depression and suicide. So sad that she struggled all her life over this. Made me cry hearing her voice tremble.
Yes, I was molested as a boy and when I tried to ask for help, I was called a liar and made fun of - by my own family. It is something that is unrecoverable and destroys.
Seeing this today after hearing the news yesterday just breaks my heart. The pain you can hear in her voice is something incredibly real for anyone who has depression. May she rest peacefully. :(
Personally, I can tell you that depression is like having a Tyrannosaurus Rex in your backyard. When you are winning you have him chained up. Then you forget you have a Tyrannosaurus Rex in your backyard. When the beast reminds you that he is a Tyrannosaurus Rex…
@@conniediaz6456 I don't sweetness... My son is autistic an I can't trust anyone... He can't tell me if someone hurt him... So I leave no door open . Hyper vigilant an I am getting help, an so is my beautiful wee man... Therapy is everything...sending you much love✌🏼💗😊❣️
What a beautiful interview. I noticed everyone is talking about Wynonna and Ashley and not realizing the pain Naomi's husband is going through. He was everyday walking this journey with her. He stood by her for years in her depression. I hear that spouses go through it worse then the children, Condolences to her husband.
Maybe so, but being a child of someone with untreated major depression disorder, it felt like a rejection, every day. So now I seek that out in my intimate partners. no one has it worse than anyone else. everyone’s struggle is real, and real bad ❤️ I don’t want you to think I’m coming down on you, just saying depression is bad for everyone involved. It takes a strong soul to walk this path, that’s for sure!
Yes it's true, the spouse is torn apart, they sleep together & do everything 2gether, walking thru life 2gether on a LIFELONG JOURNEY....Children & family hurt tremendously, but true, loving, bonded as ONE Spouses are TORN APART & I'M PRAYING FOR HER HUSBAND perhaps a little more than Ash & Wy, smh. So so sorry & heartbroken for this entire family😔😥😞!!!!!
How sad her reading the last words of her book...I'm still here. Such a difficult life for such a beautiful soul. Gone too soon. Rest well, Naomi. There's no more pain now.
Wow. You never know what people are going through. To the average person, being a star, rich and on stage.. from the outside you would think that she was living on top of the world. May she Rest In Peace.

I was molested by my own father, when I told my mom when I was 7 she didn’t believe me. We never spoke about it since, I’m 39 now and I’ve been feeling like a coward my whole life. Everyone tells him he’s a great dad, but I never had the courage to say he’s not. When I told my sister about it when I was 25 she also didn’t believe me, he never molested her, she couldn’t wrap her head around it. My anxiety and depression have been so out of control this past year, I have contemplated suicide. I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, I’m in pain constantly, now I deal with emotional and physical pain
Have you talked to a trauma informed counselor? There are some things like emdr, and somatic experiencing that can help to work more with your body and the subconscious aspects of the memories. There’s also something called rapid transformational therapy that may help get to the deeper roots of this. Also, I’m so sorry for your pain ❤❤❤
We believe you beautiful. Do whatever it is to set yourself free. I write and paint and grow things out of my pain. I firmly believe creation or the act of creating things heals.
The physical pain must represent the pain you have held in all these years, it is time to find a way to heal and let that pain go, it does not have to define you, you can turn a new page in your journey. 🍄
I’m sorry you had to go through this. I went through the same thing (but with my step dad) no one believed me. I never felt so alone. I immediately built a wall up to protect myself since no one else would protect me. I’ve never let that wall down.
Im so happy she talked about her struggle with demons before she left this earth. Many dont. Shes brave and hopefully people will seek help thru her. RIP. Sing with angels, gorgeous women.
I’m struggling and have been for 3 decades, only reason I’m here is because I’m catholic and believe I’ll go to hell if if I kill my self It’s like cancer of the brain with no cure
Thank you Naomi Judd for the RAW TRUTH of Severe Depression. As a retired New York Detective who has been fighting Severe Depression for decades along with caring for my Mother-in-law who suffered a devasting stroke. I could not and would not "put her away". Because I remember when she asked me to come into her home and have dinner with my girlfriend her daughter. When the stroke happen, I thought to myself now is the time to say Thank you for allowing me to come into your home. At the time I was about 15yrs old and my girlfriend was about 12 1/2years old.We have been together for about 55 years Your words are the most powerful I have ever heard. I also want Thank your Husband, because he is just like my wife who has stood with me for decades. 2 wonderfully people to be marry to. So Thankful for the TRUTH. Ken
This is so beautiful to read, i battle with debilitating depression and just hope I can keep holding on. Hopefully before I die, I meet a good man. I met a man before but our break up really devastates me… my heart’s open but the pain can be a lot
Molestation causes mental illness as does many other abuses on an innocent child and person. So the assaults that create life-long mental illness should be discussed, and how to better prevent it from these vile, shameless predators. . My heart is so heavy. Such a lovely woman. It is so horrible that happened to her at three years old. It is so sick. She was so beautiful.
And that's how the perpetrator continues to abuse the person long after the abuse has stopped. Mental illness robs a person of their credibility, not to mention their ability to function. There is no justice for the children. These disgusting men go on to continue to terrorize babies. Leaving them so broken.
Exactly why they deserve the death penalty. When they are caught and ordered to go to "classes", they are taught exactly how they destroy lives and they STILL KEEP DOING IT. Really obvious , they couldn't care less. My state considered the death penalty, the only reason it didn't pass was a fear it would cause more children to be murdered by their abuser. edit That is a extremely serious concern but i was hoping it passed. Imo it's not execution, it's euthanizing an animal that needs to be removed.
“I’m still here”.💔 I met her many years ago and she was so kind. Beautiful smile. So sad for her daughters. Mental illness is real. Fly high, lovely lady.💫
@@JoBunny87 that's probably what they were referring to in the interview then, when she said some unknown stuff rocked them to the core and that when she knew better she did better.
To any paedophiles out there, acting out on your urges can ruin a persons life irreparably. Get therapy, never abuse. Get castrated. A child can never consent. A child deserves a happy childhood. You will give life long issues for a moments pleasure. Please listen to my comment.
Unless you have ever struggled with clinical depression, you will never know who black that bottomless pit is. I hope Naomi Judd found the peace she deserved. Just shows you that fame, money and even family can't always save a person from themselves.
Seek help.... she did. (And I have) but they say it was "treatment- resistant depression" so they tried EVERYTHING they could, and there was no escape for her.
@@SillySongs4Everyone2001 I'm sorry, but I can't tell from your comment if you're referring to something specific that I said, if you agree or disagree? What are you trying to tell me?
You can't get help if you don't have ins or SSDI. I sought help and they destroyed nme financially, mentally and physically. They sent me into bankruptcy with nearly $30,000 in medical bills. I finally had to quit taking the medication cause I couldn't afford it.
@@Absolute-Elsewhere you have to be seeing a doctor to get a prescription. No doctors would see me cause I didn't have insurance. I had to go cold turkey off everything. It was rough. Shakes, sweating, agitation.
Battling depression for nearly 40 years, I know how hard it is. I know the struggle, I feel the pain every day. However, I am here to tell anyone who may read this...don't give up, don't ever give up. You have to dig deep inside, you almost have to block out the pain and train your mind to think differently. Its hard, believe me, I know what Mamma Judd went through. But you can make it. Do not ever underestimate your value to someone else. Yes you feel alone but that other person needs you now more than ever. You cannot quit, stay for you Mom, Your Daddy your brother and sister. Stay for your pets and friends. Stay because they will live in pain for the rest of their lives if you don't. Don't put them through the same pain you have felt all your life. Don't you quit!!
Very true, I'm trying really hard to get ppl outta my life that has put me down 60 yrs now,a jealous sister!

Again, I reread this ND busted out in tears...I feel this emptiness in my heart ND soul..my spirit burns my chest w pain. Idk if u understand how I feel, but I don't like it 😕 I'm a loner ND wish I weren't sometimes..Everyone needs a friend to talk to ND vent..nd.well u know.Have a beautiful Sunday today⚘️
@@kandi209 and after all you have went through for 60 years, you are still here. That should tell you how powerful you are!!! Keep moving forward. Everyday is a new day. You have to reinvent yourself. You have to get the losers out of your life, if you want to be succesful. As long as you have a breath in your body, you can make your life better at any second.
I’ve battled depression since I was 11. I’m now 51. I can’t imagine having “drug resistant” depression. I’m not sure what I would do without my meds. I tried everything before getting on a medication regimen that worked. Bless Naomi! I cannot imagine the pain.
@@sl4983 I see a therapist about once a month. I see a psychiatrist every 2-3 months. I’m on an antidepressant and a mood stabilizer. It’s work, but I’m sane and alive.

@@nanabarker8140 none your wrong. I most promote God everywhere and to everyone one. He alone is the source of life. Only He can deliver you from depression and your pains.
In the midst of my depression i would set a goal to get out of bed by 4pm to shower. I only achieved it half of the days and it felt like climbing Mt Everest.
This is so sad to see after knowing she took her life. She fought so hard and tried to inspire others and still lost her battle. Prayers to her family and god bless her beautiful soul. Rip Naomi
@@karenmazur3019 why would you not buy thier music? She lost her fight with a disease so ugly of you to write something like that when her daughters could see this post.
Childhood trauma is real and it’s a lifelong process. She was abused as a young adult too. This is what we as citizens of the United States should be shutting the country down for. 10 football stadiums can be filled with children who are abused every year. And it is lifelong process that causes mental illness. This is so unbelievably sad. This woman was a beautiful soul 💕
I have no childhood trauma. Life has been about as good as it can be for me yet I struggle horribly with clinical depression, anxiety and panic attacks. It's not always about a hard life. It's as much an illness as heart disease.
@@janetcrowe7572 childhood trauma can *definitely* cause depression. Some people like you have chemical imbalance which is manageable with proper medication. Seek help and good medicine. To not sound competitive but you have no idea what childhood trauma can do... It's literally life sentence 💔 be well
@iva green this is so true! It’s a life sentence that just never ends! I’m so sorry that you’re suffering from trauma, I am too and I stand with you!💕💕
@@didilovesong193 thank you dear 🙏 I really appreciate. Let's keep it strong. I wish you great health, good friends to be around as support, and much love 💕
@@ivagreen11 no, I didn't mean childhood trauma doesn't cause the same mental issues that I have. I simply meant its a disease like any other and can sometimes be completely physical. Ive been in the mental ward twice and been under psychiatric care for 11 years now. My depression has responded well to meds but my anxiety and panic attacks have not.
So sad.. my mother suffered from deep depression starting when I was around the age 8. It was all she could do to work and come home and go to bed, I pretty much raised myself. Not only do they suffer with depression, they also suffer with immense guilt. My condolences, love and prayers to the family.
I absolutely love The Judd’s ❤️❤️ I’ve suffered from depression and it’s the most miserable a person can be, it’s a hopeless lonely place to be in. My heart goes out to anyone suffering from depression and anxiety.
I've been on that road for many years, as recent as 3 years ago, planning my suicide, my son realized it and snapped me into reality. Its a very hard battle, even harder if you think, you have noone..Jesus is there for all of us. God Bless!!!
So many of us! What the actual HELL!? God, bless all of us suffering the effects of abuse, which forms a lifelong deep depression, culminating in the desire to stop the pain the only way WE can think of....
I have been diagnosed with Severe Depression. I completely understand everything she went through. Depression is so horrible Your brain does Physically hurt like she said. At one point I attempted suicide. My attempt was with pills not a firearm. I had a handful of pills to take which would've killed me. As I raised those pills to my mouth all of a sudden it was like someone smacked my hand and the pills went every direction. I know that was God without a doubt. My heart and condolences go out to the Judd family. My prayers are with you. Love you guys
You are special. Don't take that for granted. Keep your faith and cherish each day like a gift given to you. If you ever feel down, try doing something that gives you a purpose - volunteer at a homeless shelter, teach special needs kids, participate at an animal rescue, or do literally anything with a cause, that draws your mind away and makes you feel like you have duties to be fulfilled. Just my 2 cents :)
Been there only I’ve taken all those pills and ended up in the E.R. over and over again. I’ve had my stomach pumped and have drank more iced charcoal than I can remember. Tried many other ways too. I was a walking pin cushion I’ve had so many needles in my arms for resuscitations. Therapy in America is crap! I don’t know where you are but I found an answer to my problems and it was learning about narcissistic personality disorder and staying away from all those who have it!
@@jaigalaxys2 I did all of that and I took courses, went to churches and more. They were just distractions for me and didn’t help hardly at all. What helped was learning about people who are narcissistic and avoiding them especially if you’re an empath like I am. Also if you have to be around them there are tactics to use to deal with them. Such people wreak havoc on normal people and it’s awful when you’ve had them for “parents “ all your life. You don’t know any better and you usually believe that their behavior is normal when it’s not. Avoid the Narcissist!!

I was blessed to have met her in 1999 at an event for Children's Hospital in San Diego. She spoke for an hour about her Life, and signed Autographs. I felt like I was looking into an Angels Eye's. So saddened that She was taken from us. She truly was a Gifted Lady.
@@kristenlee6501 it is a sad sisterhood/ brotherhood to be a part of. Childhood sexual abuse becomes shame, becomes depression and self loathing, then the overwhelming emo pain that you just can't tolerate any longer.
That's the thing. We "think" were alone especially if we were brought up not to talk about it, or if you were "depressed" you were "crazy or mental." This stigma of people being so afraid to tell anyone how they are truly feeling, has to stop, or the suicide rate is going to be higher than what it is. Mental Illness is A disease like Cancer that I'd here to kill, steal and destroy. It is genetic in a lot of cases. We live in the 21st Century! People need to talk about it openly and honestly, seek help, get well and help others. That we've lost another "Great" like others, ie Robin Williams makes me sick and my heart breaks for them and their families. Loving and liking someone for who they are, being there for them is the start. We must tell our politicians, no matter which party it is, that we DEMAND aide for Mental Health. This needs to be treated like it is, a killer. Otherwise we're going to keep hearing about senseless deaths like Naomi Judd.😢😭
@Alison Alibongo, I am truly sorry for the loss of your precious, beautiful twin brother. Sending my love, compassion and empathy to you. May your brother rest in peace. I lost my 33 yr old sister to murder and our lives in my family, we have never been the same. I miss deeply, to the depths pf my soul. Losing a sibling is a particular kind of loss and I am sorry. 🙏
You can tell she was struggling to keep it together. The quivering in her voice, her hands shaking, her sad eyes. I hope she is at peace now. If there is a god, he would understand that sometimes we are not strong enough to carry the pain of depression. It's a horrible thing being sad 24/7 without a clear reason. Rest in peace dear lady.
It was just 6 year ago she did this interview, and in it she admits she thought about using a gun to end her life. We learned recently, she did use a gun. I am so very sorry for her, and to her family, her daughters, her husband! Depression, mental illness, unresolved childhood traumas, they haunt the mind so. Mental health is insidious. Everything begins with the MIND, yet its one of the last things we try to heal. I commend her for sharing her truth. I'm at a loss, and I didn't even know her. I'm not a country music fan by any means, but Naomi was so big in the genre, even I had heard of her. Bless her soul, and may it rest in peace. Bless her for fighting as hard as she could! I sincerely hope and pray her beautiful family, esp her daughters partake in therapy in order to start the healing process. God bless.
This is heartbreaking. You can see and hear her pain. I am glad she talked about it and brought more awareness on the subject of depression. RIP Naomi Judd. You will forever be loved.
This really hit me hard. I have a round,puffy face from medication. I am truly embarrassed for anyone to see me. I now have depression and anxiety. I can’t imagine how much worse it was for her in the spotlight. My heart breaks for what she went through.
Getting older and/or gaining weight from meds like Naomi did had to have been so much harder for a beautiful woman like Naomi than it would for a plainer woman. Perhaps she thought that she might be ridiculed at the Awards show tonight by cruel people when they saw how she looks now. Perhaps that might have been the straw that broke the camel's back. What a tragedy. I just hope that her family knows that there was nothing they could have done to have saved her. Some damage cannot be repaired.
Important to mention the childhood trauma that is often behind these labels of mental illness. I’m glad she discussed the events she had survived. So much love to Naomi Judd and her surviving family. Lots of survivors out here, standing with you. I hope she knew that. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm smiling knowing she is finally at peace. If someone was suffering from cancer for years (a disease) you would say the same thing. Don't focus on how just why.
It’s a coward way out. I don’t care what anyone says, suicide is selfish. Now people that are left behind, have to deal with that. We all go though horrible and hard times. That’s when people need God more than ever. Otherwise, Satan wins.
@@LezgoBrandon Naomi Judd had a lot more strength and courage than many others. She endured over 70 years with a harassing childhood. No matter the cause of death, loved ones are always left behind.
In my heart, I feel like she’s free and no longer being tormented in her mind. Mental illness is no respector of person! We just never know whose going through it mentally. We just never know. She was brave sharing her story with the world 🙏🏿

The effects of child abuse are so long lasting, devastating, and destructive to generations down the line. Young mother with few parenting/coping skills passes on trauma to daughter by not telling her who her father was. And then you wonder why daughter is angry? Not to blame, but this secrecy goes on in too many households, then we wonder why so many addictions comes from dysfunctional homes. Time to get to core issues, no more cover ups. And heal.
My father's was alcoholic dyftiocnla life I had some traumatic times in my times,chilhood at 11and at twentey one I had massive dreams I wanted tp achieved I did I was in a foster care system at a time where my own father did not cope ,neary got cancer myself in the esrly age ,caught it early.I competed the princess trust course to face and their is allso a other family secrets to my family lomg lost sister we had social service breathing down our necks so I can related to her issues.
Donna Woodford Have you gone through child abuse yourself? If NOT- you shouldn’t judge nor speak on things you know nothing about. (First Hand life Experience) Not reading books on it.
spike zezel Sounds like she knows what she’s talking about and it’s hardly judging, merely observing about how deep trauma can affect all family members. It’s none of your business whether she’s experienced it personally or not.
That’s not always true my mom had childhood traumas I did not have childhood trauma I had a good childhood I do have depression but I had depression after my mom passed away now for the most part yeah what you’re saying yeah could be true but all parents raise her kids where they seem fit that doesn’t make them a bad parent or less stuff in a child unless I need to be angry if they’re paired I’ll tell them their fathers name my mom nursery tell me much about my birth father either and I’ve never got angry with her for it because I did the day she was sharp text me because he’s abusive and I had a father my stepdad so that’s why I didn’t care I’m not judging somebody to be angry and she has a right to be but she has her also realize life is too short to be angry at the one pair that took care of you because of her father wanna be part of her life he would’ve been
Depression is so awful, I’ve dealt with it many times, it’s isolating, traumatic. To have it as a long-term treatment resistant Illness must be a challenge each and every day just to garner the will to live. Absolutely heartbreaking. Godspeed to her -the pain is over ♥️♥️♥️
I’ve had it all my life with some periods of relief, but treatment resistant for the last 13 years. It’s hell on earth. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that people get thorough it and it’s possible. It could be today that a shift happens. And I can’t put my kids through that.

I was diagnosed with depression last year. It explained a lot and has helped me understand my behavior isn't healthy for me. I grew up in a very dysfunctional home as the oldest of three. It was hard but somehow I've always wanted to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Her book may help me. Sadly she lost her battle with depression. I believe I will struggle with it for the rest of my life but I'm okay with that.
This just breaks my heart. My goodness. I hope you are at peace now Naomi. That is so much pain for so many years. Praying for the entire family to get through this
It's so rough when you're abused by an uncle at such an early age. It's so traumatic that you immediately become a night and day of your former naive and innocent self. It's one of the most horrific traumas to spend a lifetime recovering from. 💗 I'm keeping Naomi in my daily prayers now knowing this. She's not alone.
We as women are taught to “be pretty” “smile an everything’s alright smile” “take care of others” and to look amazing while doing it! So much pain underneath all the glitter & glam we flaunt!
Mental health care is still in the Dark Ages. I have two friends whose boys each had Bi-Polar. They both committed suicide. My friends tore themselves apart trying to understand why. I am Bi-Polar. They asked me why? The answer was simple to.me. I just said, " they couldn't do it anymore! " That is it. My deepest condolences to a very brave woman who cared so much about others. He beauty and talent will always live on.
I’m bipolar as well and there are days where the thought of suicide feels like air. It’s uncontrollable, but focusing on helping others grounds me greatly.
This is so heartbreaking. My mother went through this for many years. It was difficult for us all but my dad stuck with her and took care as best be could. She, like Naomi, went through all these medications and shock therapy but mostly to no avail. She passed 34 years ago but I cannot forget it.
Mental illness is heartbreaking....some of my family members going through ups an downs of it ....deep heartfelt prayers To Wynonna and Ashley and other extended family members.
How old were you when your mom passed? Btw, it doesn't matter if it's 34 or 50 years...., your ache for your mom and the pain from the memories are very real. I hope you find peace and are able to find solutions to the issues that might have plagued your mom....
What a sad ending to her life 😢 depression, severe depression, and anxiety are diseases that are real. It's not a lack of faith, or strength of character that causes it. For anyone reading my words please know you are not alone we're all here with you. I have struggled with depression, ptsd and anxiety for decades. There have been many many times of admitting myself to the psychiatric hospital because I just didn't want to live anymore. I didn't want to hurt mentally anymore; it's exhausting 😪 please reach out to those who love you for support and get professional help. If those people judge you or don't validate you get new people. I was once told that when we are in a crisis and we seek love and support from our family and friends they may just not there for when we need their help and support the most. It doesn't mean they don't love you. If they're not in touch with their feelings they're not going to be in touch with yours. And sadly these same people and society place a lot of shame, guilt, judgment, fear and ignorance on those of us who struggle for mental wellness.
I , too, struggle with crippling depression. I mean it can be asphyxiating. I have been at the precipice more than once and even written my letters. Naomi’s death has me breaking down over and over because I know how searing the pain is that she was in. How she put on that bright, beautiful smile for the world but inwardly was bleeding. One thing gives me enduring hope. Jesus Christ. Understanding and appreciating that He suffered in my place. Times when I’ve resorted to self h*rm , it is brought to my remembrance that His body was broken so mine doesn’t have to be. I was letting this broken world , in turn, break me. I let the pain of my own traumas drive me away from God when I should’ve let it drive me TO Him. I would neglect His life-giving Word & neglect the blessing of praying and knowing I was being met with His inclined ear and immeasurable love for me. Relying on my own nonexistent strength brought me to devastation. I thought I could overcome my trials and it’s never happened because it cannot happen. We were never meant to do this on our own. We certainly have not been left to our own devices. It is written in John 16:33 “In this world you will have troubles; take heart for I have overcome the world.” When I accepted this and believed it, it has changed my perspective radically. There’ll be days of sorrow and difficulty. But I no longer have to double over and feel the same hopelessness I used to. I’ve tried medication and it made me feel like a zombie (I am not going to knock the medication route for anyone who’s had success with it. To each their own) I actually felt insulted the more I took the medication given me because I realized that pharmaceutical companies believe it’s ok to have people droopy and drowsy and drooling (as I was in my chair) and masking pain rather than to get to the heart of the problem. I threw the bottle away. It wasn’t until much later that I surrendered to God and felt freedom. Do I still have moments of pain? Yes. I am an imperfect human in an imperfect world. But I now know to go to the Rock that is higher than I. I know that I don’t have to check myself out of this world in order to have peace. My time will come and it is in His hands. There is a peace that only Jesus can produce and it is within us regardless of external circumstances or existing inner turmoil. I hurt deeply with Naomi’s death & the deaths of all who’ve been in such agony that the only way they saw out was the route they took. I will never shame them for it. Naomi did know the Lord and I have faith she is with Him. But I know that it’s not His will for us to leave under such circumstances. I look to the cross and see that His love is real and His grace is sufficient. His power is made perfect in our weakness. If anyone here is dealing with depression and/or anxiety or perhaps feels triggered by this huge loss, drop a comment and I’ll leave you a prayer you’ll always have ❤️ you are NOT alone. You have a savior who stepped down from Heaven to live the human experience and has known the same sorrows you’re currently carrying. Life can hurt sometimes but there is not a wound on this earth that He cannot heal. My love to all. Weeping endures for a night, joy comes in the morning. I hope you’ll stay and witness the next sunrise. You’ll be so grateful you did. “ O, what needless pain we bear. All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer…”
@@user-yt9zs6tg4h thank you, Lord, for this dear one 🙏🏼💗 May Your peace and presence fill their entire atmosphere and your perfect will be done for their life.
I had a bout w depression about 12yrs ago. It was the absolute worse feeling in the world, each day was dark and numb, no appetite, sleep seemed to be the only solution, wanting to be alone, afraid to tell someone thinking they would think something is wrong w you. It was the worse experience of my life and i never got out of the house or wanted to go anywhere. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. It truly is .....darkness.
Yep it's dark all right! Glad you are better! I've had severe depression in varying degrees most of my adult life. Some years have been better. I've tried talk therapy, anti-depressants, excercise, religion but I continue to struggle. I'm 65 now and this past year has been the worst. Time to get with a doctor again. It's not easy and I really hate it.
@@andytaylor5476 Spirituality helped me, finding out who i really was and my purpose in life. i started doin the things that depression didnt want me to do, like eat, wake up n shower and go out n about. then thats when i finally overcame it. i wish u the best, i really do. i challenge you to wake each day and find a moment or reason why its good to be alive....i challenge you.
@Designgirl2009 im fine. been my old self for years. not a sign of depression in over a decade, no meds, no nothing. i overcame it w my mind n finding my self worth. And spirituality n religion are different things.
Find yourself an Orthomolecular Dr. (google them wherever you live) or Orthomolecular Psychiatrists.. all is done through nutrition..they check for Candida in blood/bowel (fungus infestation which crosses the blood/brain barrier and causes depression - also checking your thyroid - that's a biggie - if too slow you will get severely depressed - also same with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.. they check for parasites - food allergies which also cross the blood/brain barrier and cause inflammation of the brain - nutritional deficiencies - heavy metal detox..must take Essential Fatty Acids cuz that's what they are for the brain, heart, hormonal system - ESSENTIAL.. hemp oil is a good one to incorporate in diet instead of gel caps..but oils must be cold-pressed/expeller-pressed.. and if you do need meds - try cannabis instead of Big Pharma anti-depressants.. cannabis is safe - a natural anti-depressant (Sativa or Hybrid but sativa dominant probably better)..Dr. Abram Hoffer pioneered Orthomolecular medicine along with Dr. Linus Pauling.. they got catatonic schizophrenics out of comas using intravenous Vit. C. and yes.. we do need Vit. C each day as humans don't manufacture it as animals do..Schizophrenics lack niacin - they also must go off dairy and gluten and food allergies.. FYI..
In addition to loving Naomi's Music, I will ALWAYS respect her for giving us so much happiness even while she was dealing with so much. I pray she is At Peace.
Some of us are haunted by depression. MANY do not understand. Some days when the brain is in pain, Suicide is the only thought. As you get older, and family die off and you realize there is REALLY no one there for you !! It's a lonely dark endless pit of negative thinking. I go through this often. I'm a COWARD when it comes to thinking of self-harm. I hope eventually this MENTAL ILLNESS stigma will turn into a real factor of acceptance and definite help / therapy.
If it weren’t for drugs, I would not be here. I’ve had depression most of my life. Thank God when there was medication to hide the beast. I can’t think if anything worse than that feeling of despair. How beautifully Naomi and her daughter sang together. The pain is gone now. Be at peace.
Same here. Depression and anxiety is horrible. I am fortunate to have found a medication that works. Took several years. Therapy has helped too. I am so sorry that Naomi could not find the help she so needed. May she rest in peace 🙏
I was honored to have met Naomi and her husband and interact with them for short period of time about 3 years back. She was so nice and we had some nice conversation and her husband Larry liked to joke around a little. They are a neat memory and I will never forget how comfortable they made me feel around them. I have and will always love the gift of music Naomi blessed us with over the years. May she rest in piece.
I’ll never forget seeing you in concert when The Judd’s were at the peak of their success. So beautiful, such talent, and you will never be forgotten. I’m sorry these last years were so full of pain. You didn’t deserve that. RIP, Mama Judd
The struggle never ceases. Her love of knowing she was accepted by so many was probably not fully reached but the way the embracing of her talent by many outweighs the pain. This is so terrible to accept.
It happened to me. It was nothing like i could even explain. I drank antifreeze on 2 occasions 6 months apart, and somehow, after crashing a few times, lots of treatment in an enduced coma in ICU. I somehow survived with zero deficits. 10 years on i graduatenext week with a BSc honors in Paramedic Science ❤. I got here by all the new tools psychological therapies gave me. Its a life long self discipline keeping those strategies going but IM ALIVE ❤
"If I knew better, I'd have done better" - words of wisdom. Better than to tear oneself to pieces over mistakes I made, which were inevitable in any case, because I didn't know any better.
So incredibly sad that she lost her battle with her depression.... 💔 Rest In Peace Naomi.. No longer in mental torment. My Condolences and Prayers for her family, friends and Fans. 🕯
@@Jamie.42 Saturday morning is when she passed away. their is an interview she did just a few ago speaking on what she was dealing with . It’s here on RU-vid. it can help you understand a lot more .it did for me . im actually very glad I did watch it . it opened my eyes to much more about her life .she was very strong for so long .
What a beautiful woman, talented singer , great mother RIP Naomi you fought the fight, you did everything you could….. you rest now sweetheart , your in the arms of the Lord, sleep peacefully darlin’ you will be missed and will always be loved , love you darlin’ my sympathies to the entire Judd family sending love and prayers.🙏🏻🦋🌷💐🌺🌹❤️🌸🕯🌷🙏🏻🌺
Oh my gosh. Its not demons, ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT GET IT, its a REAL illness she was fighting for a long time and in so proud of her for speaking up to help others.
and it sucks since Mother's Day is this weekend. My heart goes out to the Judd family. Depression can happen to anyone. Suicide is not evil or selfish.. it is an imbalance between pain and the coping resources to deal with the pain. If the pain outweighs the coping resources, then suicide happens. The pain is overwhelming. 😢 I've struggled with depression for over 30 years.
i don't know why people assume people got to heaven after killing themself. Ask a catholic priest. Dying in mortal sin, like suicide, is a one-way ticket to hell. After you know Jesus and no what sin is, if you commit sin and did not repent, you are likely to go to hell. Bible condemns any voluntary sin after knowledge of it. Research mortal sin in catholic church for more information. Quit spreading lies that suicide is a one-way ticket to heaven. That is satanic doctrine. Such persons are suggesting that commiting sin and dying in it leads to heaven which is a lie. Jesus said no drunkards and no murders inherit the kingdom of God. It's in the gospels. So when persons are murdering themself in suicide are not heaven. That's what makes suicide and murder in general more depressing; that people are torment forever for it. Don't assume people are in heaven because it mays you feel better. Research dying in mortal sin without penance/repentance/forgiveness or grace. Christians must die in grace not in mortal sin.
My husband suffered from depression for years.It wasn't easy.It effected the whole family. We.had 2 girls and 2 boys,several grandchildren and great grandchildren. Sadly he passed away 1 year ago from dementia.So I know how hard it can be.My prayers go out to the Judd family.

I’m from Tennessee and grew up in middle Tennessee in the 80s. The judds are titans in the country music world and a nostalgic part of my childhood. So tragic.
Sorry to hear that. I went through the same thing and suffered for a long time from depression, bulimia, anorexia and suicide, until one day Christ reached me 30 years ago. It's not easy for me to put myself out there and testify of my experience but if my testimony can help someone, that would be so great for me!. I watch FIRE and GLORY from Thursday to Sunday at 7PM. Pacific Standard Time. This is a Ministry used by God to help people with different issues. May God bless you always 🙏
My mother who is now 70 still suffers and has manifested through her health l. I also have a niece that has not dealt with this same dark past and she suffers daily. The common denominator I din in my niece and mother is that they do not and will not deal With it and get therapy.
I met her at my job she was so sweet and gave me a $500.00 tip the biggest tip I ever got I never forgot what she ordered quesadillas and hot sauce and coffee and orange juice for breakfast.You will be missed so sorry you where going through so much
I appreciate how sensitive and caring Robyn was doing this interview. Robin, you are the walk the walk epitome of Christian love and spirit. Thank you for your empathetic appraoch to this hurting person. 4:56
OMG, she's me, I'm her!! I'm here in bed where I've been most of the last few weeks. On meds, off meds, not feeling connected to anyone, not awake, not alert, confused, not in charge, afraid to leave my apt., but still hope refuses to go away. Thank you for sharing. So grateful that you didn't give up. God bless you and your family.
God is the answer. I am a 45 yr. treatment resistant sufferer. I've been through it ALL. Drugs, shock, talk, everything! I quit it all and leaned on my faith. The past 3 years have been happier than the 42 before them!
This was my mother for years. I didn't under it until I became an adult. feeling neglected by her I finally understood it was her depression. I'm glad to hear that you still have hope. sending you virtual hugs, and warm thoughts that the sun shines your way soon!🤗🤗
I’m still fighting my fight against severe depression it’s tough and it hurts but I’m here I understand on so many levels what Naomi was going through. Rest In Peace sweet angel rest easy. ❤️
Imagine your a small child and your in a large crowd. Suddenly you've lost your mom or dad, the feeling of being scared is so overwhelming and there's never an end to it. You go to sleep that way and wakeup that way for decades. That's chronic anxiety. Rest peacefully Naomi
@@gothboschincarnate3931 Goth, if you've never suffered from extreme anxiety and I hope you haven't because it is a form of daily torture to which is not easily escapable..She was a true warrior in her fight. She fought long and hard with a brain disease. Suicide wasn't the answer but the chemicals in her brain were distorted. She is in God's memory until the resurrection Jesus promised at John 5:28/29 would take place here on the earth. I know that thought is not always acceptable and I mean no offense to you by it..
RIP Naomi Judd , heartbroken . I’m so happy & blessed my two daughters surprised me with concert tickets to a Judds concert for Mother’s Day. I felt like I’d won the lottery ! The Judds got me thru so much pain in the mid 90’s with divorce & surviving domestic violence. I would sing along to all the Judds songs to my Babies. Years later I still love the Judds! Sending love & 🙏🏼to the Girls Winona & Ashley , and their families .
I never knew about her struggles with depression till after she passed away. I realize that everyone has something they are going through that others don’t know about and we should be kind to everyone. Rest In Peace Naomi.
@@alfredolopez4092 no one has it all. At the end of the day we are still human. So there is always going to be struggles. Some may have bigger struggles than others. But we all have struggles.
What a brave & courageous woman...I so admire her husband for sticking by herside, when so many others spouses, or significant others would probably have walked away.
oh naomi im so sorry you are gone. you are missed. i too suffer from depression and anxiety and have since my husband died in 2012. i decided at that time that i would continue living but its been very very hard. loneliness and sadness are real. its hard to explain. impossible really. god bless you. we love you.
Mental illness/depression difficult to diagnose and treat. I so wish things could have been different. Judd music gave so much to the world. God bless the entire family.
Her home is beautiful inside. I admit that my first impression of Naomi was not good, but it's obvious to me now that I was very wrong about her. After watching different interviews of Naomi, she appears to be much nicer than I had always thought her to be. I am sorry that she experienced the sexual abuse as a little girl. I wish that there was no pedophilia in the world. It's so destructive to a child's psyche, and it makes me so angry to think about it. God protect the innocents. RIP, Miss Naomi.
We need to jail pedophiles PERMANENTLY. No parole, no nothing. They ruin people's psyches forever, affecting victims for the entire rest of their lives. It's such an awful thing to do to anyone.
