Wow Ashley Judd is almost unrecognizable. I really hope these ladies don’t carry the weight of their moms death onto their own struggles with mental illness.

She had so much to live for.
She was close to her oldest Grandchild, a Grandson and she was to be inducted into the Hall of Fame later today.
She had a reunion tour lined up w/Wynona in the fall too.

But mental illness never discriminates. Sadly.🕊🕊🕊

People don’t die by suicide because they have nothing to live for. They die by suicide because they have lethal symptoms of a little understood disease with mostly ineffective treatments.

The fact that she has so much to live for surely was a strength that she could draw up son as she fought for her life all of these years. She fought SO hard. The fact that she lived to her late 70’s with a. Disease that might have killed her many times over is a testament to her outsized courage, fortitude, and will to live.

Is Ashley’s face just ravaged by plastic surgery?

Yes, she’s had a lot of the same work her mom had, what a shame. It’s well known she has similar mental health struggles, very sad. Looks like Wynonna’s left her face alone. Must have been unbelievably painful to receive the hall of fame induction honors alone.

I don't even really know the The Judds' music but, wow, the comment "blessed and broken" and the emotion behind it was powerful.

Listen to “Love Can Build a Bridge”

Heartbreaking. What an amazing accomplishment for Wynonna (and Naomi) with such a horribly sad cloud over it. So gracious and poised. I don't know that I could have even made it up on stage.

Yes, exactly.

This. I so feel for her daughters, and don't know how they managed to get up on that stage last night. I wouldn't be able to crawl out of bed for at least a year.

Well both are entertainers, so get a lot out of audience feedback and love. And it was a wonderful occasion to pay tribute to their mother's achievement.

Yes, the timing is really odd.

Not odd at all. One of the hallmarks of serious depression is that it often overwhelms you at happy times. You know that you SHOULD be feeling happy, proud, excited but instead you feel. . . . nothing. It feels like a chore to even move, much less get dressed up, write a speech, face an audience of friends, fans, and family etc. I would imagine that may be how she felt.

Suicide rates also spike in the Spring. No one really knows why, but it's speculated that it's due in part to emergence from the emotional and social "hibernation" of winter. The world is bright and warm and you don't feel any rise in your happiness or sense of optimism. But you can gather up just enough energy to carry out the plan that you've been contemplating.

It seems so selfish to do at all, let alone right before one of the biggest thrills her daughter probably ever had/will have. I can't begin to understand that level of depression, though, so I'm lucky, I know.

If you haven’t lived through it, you don’t get it.

I'm not sure it's ALL that.

I knew very little about this family, other than mom/daughter sing and one daughter (who for some reason I seem to recall is very smart) acts. After reading about her suicide, I wondered if they had more family and found Wynonna has 2 children of her own. Sounds like troubles run in the family. https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/5246373/naomi-judd-granddaughter-grace-prison-funeral/

Wow, I really encourage you to educate yourself on mental health awareness. Calling suicide a selfish act is incredibly insensitive. You would never call someone with cancer or heart disease selfish.

Seriously so sad, tears. I lost my mom a year ago so it is extra heartbreaking. Absolutely an accomplishment for the daughters to go onstage and for Wynonna to accept in person, one day after the loss.
