she has so much more to offer than music - her music is such a blessing, I love it! - but her personal openness is powerful beyond words. She is a healer. I wonder if she's beginning to realize the impact she has on other women? Love her! Thank u Wy ;)
Wynonna is correct. As your parents get older their world does become smaller, which means that their children are a bigger part in their life. Call your parents while you can.
@S B She, didn’t love me, she hated me, because my father, her ex husband left her, because she had me, as he didn’t want any more children. He was an avid boxer, and left her, to go Argentina, so, she hated me, for the rest of my life,and I tried to love her, and tried so hard for her to love me in return,...... Until she dyed.😢 And when my little boy seven dyed, she wasn’t there for me, time when I needed her the most.💔😢
So why does she work for one of the biggest corrupt networks? Truth is coming how media is all fake and scripted and they are actors reading scripts. Why you think every reporter on every channel says the same thing. Reports the same way.
I love Wnonna! she is very real and down to earth. I think sometimes people forget that celebrities have the same feelings and emotions we all have. They have thier ups and downs, good days, and bad days!
I love hearing Wynonna because you get the real deal & honesty & understanding! I love her sense of humor too. God bless her to keep going like she is doing. Her love for her fans is so admirable! Always respected her acceptance , her love she gives , & she is who she is with no apologies! She is a country cool rockstar like her beautiful mother! Rip in Naomi you were one heck of a gal!
❤️🖤❤️ Wy, if only you knew how much strength you’ve inspired in the beleaguered. You never give yourself credit for all of your inspiration to grow, heal and persevere. I hope one day you’ll believe in all of the love that’s out there for you. Please know so many hold your grief close to their heart. Side note: Hoda was so gentle and caring. Lovely ladies… So admired ❤️🖤❤️
Wynonna you are exactly where you are supposed to be getting through the steps. My family has lost several members by suicide as well as other tragic ways. Give your self grace as much as you need. You and your family are so LOved and cared about. Thank-you for the music.
The lost of Naomi hit me so hard, I grew up with them. I cannot imagine the loss for her children. They are handling it with incredible grace and respect for her and each other. So much love for this family, they each filled my life with their gifts. ❤❤❤
When my mom died I had a few months to prepare. The second year was harder because I was numb. Wynona is doing life one day at a time. God bless her. She is amazing.
The knowledge you acquire as a suicide survivor can help you save lives. I know this to be true after 2 years of grief therapy, reading hundreds of books, establishing a free lending library with over 200 books, five years of efforts that went nowhere, then help from Maize Hirono to establish Kauai's own suicide prevention programs, got newspaper to abolish rule of not printing the word suicide, out of the darkness walks on the cover of newspaper, Assist & Safe Talk training & so much more. My boyfriend died by suicide 20 years ago. Thank you Wynona for spreading awareness and shining a light on darkness. I have experienced people telling me I saved their life. You Wynona are saving lives. Keep talking publicly about suicide. Nothing you say will be wrong. It is all 100% right. Trust your heart. God bless you.🙏❤️
My son estranged from me- didn’t say why. My little granddaughter was ripped away from me. I love her so. My heart hurts so much. Thank you Wynona for sharing your grief. My grief is ambivalent. And I don’t know how to get out of limbo.
I’m sorry you’re going through this. Perhaps in time, this will turn around. I can only imagine the pain you feel over this loss. I hope it’s temporary. Take care of yourself.
Karen dear one - please seek out counseling and spiritual guidance immediately. Have hope that you can get through your losses. Maybe you can work taking care of girls your granddaughter’s age as a volunteer after you get emotionally settled. You have a great deal of love to share!! So many people can benefit from your big heart!
I'm going through the same thing. I know how you feel, it's a hole that's just there. With no explanation why. It's the background noise that never stops....
The Judds are legendary, I feel so bad for Wy, I was shocked when I heard Naomi took her life, especially since just did the CMT awards. Their mother daughter relationship reminds me of my mother and I. We both have suffered nervous breakdowns, but have been able to get each other through the worst days, God Bless!
Thank you ladies. I’m 60. My mom has been gone 16 years. And I have a lot of unresolved issues with my mother. Your words Winona, helped me think differently about our history and life together. Thank you Leslie
@@againstthepods4316 Why do you even care it's nobody's business but Wynonna's and her family! Let her and her family heal in peace!! Have some respect!
@@againstthepods4316 For one thing was there a note? No one really knows because of the fake news. So like I said it needs to be left alone it's done and over with. Wy and her family I'm sure is sick of people talking and getting into their business.
Great interview! I love Wynonna but I worry about her mental health also. I used to always wonder about Naomi and her mental health.. It makes sense that Wynonna is talking about it. God bless her. I love you Wynonna Keep strong ♥️
@23:41 So true, very nice people, both Naomi and Wynonna! I met them @ Billy Bob's Texas after their concert May 17, 1985. I walked up to get an autograph from Wy, then found my friends and we met up with them at the horse racing game. Naomi invited us to sit down and play the game, Wy was kind of reserved but we probably looked like nuts standing there with our mouths open in shock! The show was great, but meeting them afterwards and them talking to us like we were friends was so special and something I'll never forget! I've been a life long fan, ever since, and wish Wynonna nothing but the best! 🕊️🙏❤️🕯️
Hoda…you are a gift from God to a hurting world. I truly believe you are right where you should be and are helping to soften our cold, hard world…one interview at a time!
Naomi will keep on living, not physically but spiritually! Her kindness gave her the eternal blessing. Like Wy said before … she was crazy. But who isn’t. She never looked down on people. She always looked up to people ❤ Wy is becoming like her, more with aging… so it’s a blessing to hear her talk about her mom in the present. Although we can not see her anymore, she’s still here
Balled like a baby. 😢 You just don't realize how blessed you are when your mother is still living. I just got into it with my mom the other day and you realize how silly those things are when you see stories like hers. God help us to forgive and let things go. Be lighter. ❤ God Bless the Judds.
God bless ❤ wynonia Judd an Ashley an there kids an grand baby’s I will remember there mom always as sweet , soft , gentle lovely lady only God knows why she did what she did I will never judge her , an for he / she who is without sun cast the first stone , let this lady rest an by the way she was beautiful inside an out , the way she treated those less fortunate is from God grace threw her ❤
I actually came across Naomi's book about overcoming depression about a month before she died. And it was a wonderful book about how she overcame it all with family support and different therapist and treatments some worked and others not so much, but then how she died was so like she described in the book it was shock to me so how could I get so much relief from a book when she ended up finding the gun that she tried before to use and end it - really hurt because all her knowledge and research of how to overcome it was uplifting and then a month later the news that she ended it before her hall of fame celebration is was so hard. I needed the hope from her words in the book but then a month later she took her life - and so then I was like what do I do with that - it is really hard to understand, but then I watched the CMT Love Can Build a Bridge and some interviews and the Judds concerts and cried a lot and I felt the loss of the people she left behind to make you understand that if you feel bad you have to keep on for them - even when it is hard for yourself. I hope I can continue to feel that way - but I am sure Naomi kept trying to keep going for everyone else too. Sometimes it is so hard to keep suffering but you have to try for your kids. I haven't gotten past the I can't leave my kid behind not matter how hopeless or bad I feel about going on because of what it would do to him - although for myself I have the what is it all for or why do I have to keep hurting - but maybe there will be a grandchild or two in mu future - maybe something will come along to change and be uplifting. So I don't regret reading the book, and loved the music in the 90s and like most of us I will take what I can from her words and try to move on. It was an emotional read - and felt so hopeful for both her and myself after finishing it but then so close to finishing it she died and that was pretty raw. I don't normally read autobiographical books but I was drawn to it based on how I was feeling at the time. The only other famous person I read was one of Carrie Fisher and she died shortly after that too. So is it me? Although I grew up during Star Wars and didn't get the whole family dynamic until I was older. Thank you Wyonna for giving us this concert and being apart of your healing. I couldn't go in person but saw a lot of videos and cried and cheered you on. I don't know how you did it but it was amazing. I hope your family fills you with the love and support you need after this tour is ended. You are still a star. You are loved. And we are all amazed by you. Even if you never see this message - I am thankful.
I emphatically relate to her my mom had 3 girls an then a step daughter an i was the baby i was the one who took care of everyone an my whole life she never loved me like she did all my sisters an b 4 she passed shd said she was sry that she seen me as the strongest of her kids n she didnt think i needed her like they did n she didnt realize that i still needed her even tho she seen me as a super strong person i learned to just take care of myself my dad was amazing to all his kids n he was my heart now that they're both gone its been 2 an 3 yrs n i haven't grieved really when they passed i couldn't break down an fall apart my sisters needed me my nephews n niece's needed me i raised all my sisters kids so i still haven't really allowed myself im afraid to im afraid how dark it will get
This is such an amazing interview. Thank you Wynonna for your vulnerability!!! You have no idea how much influence and affect you have on people and how much power you will give people through your words of this interview!!! I can't tell you enough how powerful this is!!!!
Hoda, I noticed the present tense speaking of her mom as well. My mother ‘is’ a kind person. I suppose it’s similar to phantom pain when a person looses a limb. They often say my hand hurts even if hand has been removed. Those nerve endings still register the wholeness of what was once so familiar. Wynonna is a remarkable speaker who always searched for appropriate words in order to project the best account of her situation and feelings. This makes he an enjoyable interview in my opinion. Thank you both for this video.
If anyone needs a review of the fun loving days of a younger Wynonna please look for videos uploaded by Rosie O’ Donnell from her talk show in late 90’s. They are just the greatest interviews full of fun and exceptional friendships. You will greatly enjoy.
Wynonna, please keep shining your light, so brightly! You are amazing & this a huge gift that you share with the world, as well as your music. Your mom, is still& will forever be an amazing & beautiful soul, as are you & your sister. You have all brought great love & wisdom, to share with others. Thank you! My heart goes out to all of you. My aunt ended her life, the day after, I brought my first child (my daughter), home from the hospital & 2 days before her mom's birthday. My mom's brother's was in the Navy, during the Korean War & gave his life, to his country. He just turned 21a few days earlier, on Friday, Oct. 13, 1950& on Oct. 22, 1950. I was born . I believe that my daughter & I each came to comfort them, in their time of grief. They were her my mom's only siblings. Sending you love - hugs.❤❤❤
I love my granddaughter's songs. She'll sing about anything and everything. I love every second. She sounds great, too!! I just love that she's willing to share her heart with me like that!
The saying that I cut out of a magazine and I keep on my vision board is, "Stay the course, TRUST the process!" As a single mom raising 2 daughters, it reassured me daily to do what mattered so they could achieve their dreams to graduate college and become Nurses.
“As our parents get older their world gets smaller and smaller.” That hits home. Two years ago I lost my husband to suicide. My world keeps getting smaller. But I’m still fighting on.
I'm so grateful for this interview! I discovered so much about forgiveness. Hoda's way was perfect for allowing Wynonna's honest disclosure of such a personal place.
I have read all of Naomi books and thought through them she was so real, so knowledgeable about all kind of subjects, so intellectual; I am sure she did everything she thought of doing for her situation and was just caught in a vicious circle which she saw no ending; I think she was not perfect but did alot with what she was given and made a success of it for her children. They are lucky to have her example of love, tenacity and determination.
Naomi looked so gorgeous on that last day of their performance. It is hard to imagine that would be her last day so the quandry left for her loved ones seems like it will linger. The only thing that crosses my mind is that secrets that people choose to keep secrets can be blinding for the ones that are left behind. All viewers really know for sure about Naomi is that she was mesmerrizing on stage and a great story teller of life. What a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. Her image of feminity is still imprinted in the minds of so many of us.
Wy, Your mom helped me realize that it’s ok to not be ok through her book. I would love to talk with you, I see similar feeling with me & my son as you and your mom. It’s a struggle everyday
Years ago was visiting friends in TN and they took me to Summer Lights. Somehow we got right up front and Wynonna came out. I was not sure who she was, but I left a fan. What a dynamic performer. Was lucky enough to see her again in my hometown.
Oh I absolutely love her I grew up singing my heart out to their songs with my favorite gurl cousin❤️💜💙♥️🤞I absolutely love her sweet soul she is my twin spirit and I found that hurt by loosing my best friend my momma in 2003 when I was 23 had my daughter who was 2 and a half...I was totally lost. And only running to God saved me from myself....God filled me up my cup runnenth over♥️💙💜❤️
Reba, I've lost my mother & father, I know how hard it is, my mom was my best friend. We did everything together. We traveled to Tennessee for Fan fair 5 years in a row. That was one of my favorite memories. You are my absolute favorite country singer. I didn't care for Country music, growing up, my father was from West Virginia & adored Country music. When I started listening to it, I told my mom, don't tell dad, lol! The reason being was because, I had complained to him about not caring for Country music for so long. I just knew that he would gloat. But now that is all that I will listen to & you are my absolute favorite!! I hope that you keep singing for asong as I'm on this earth!
I love this interview, very warm, keeps it feeling like home. My mom passed very suddenly over 10 years ago, and I still miss her and our time together. I often wish there were things I had done. You were blessed to have her that one last time
GOD THE JUDDS ARE SOOO REAL. FEEL SO CLOSE TO THEM CAUSE SO MANY THINGS IN MY LIFE ARE SIMILIAR. WISH SOMEDAY I CAN TALK TO WY LET HER KNOW HOW MUCH HER BEING REAL GIVES ME HOPE. ALWAYS THINK OF NAOMI ALWAYS AS WELL AS ASHLEY AND POP! THEY ARE SUCH A BLESSINGS!
Love you Wynonna I know you miss your mom it’s so great how you all sung together and sounded great together my heart goes out to you beautiful lady🙏🏻❤️🌹✝️☮️🎈💞😊
Love the Judds. They are so open about their dysfunction and their love! I know Wynonna will continue to be a huge success as a solo artist! She’s absolutely done this for years and she can continue on. My heart hurts for her with the loss of her mother. I wish she could see the difference she makes when she shares her heart through words and song.
Wynonna and Naomi are two of my favorite singers. The entire country music community is grieving with y’all. We love y’all. Thanks Hoda for helping us through with letting us hear Wy speak. It is not easy is the truth. The first outfit I bought myself with money I won raising money selling wrapping paper for the school’s concert band was a gold lame skirt with a black and gold sweater from Parisian. I wear black a lot. It’s my job uniform for years under whatever jacket they had. I love how honest her and her family are and listening to her say we all matter is the truth. I work with women everyday and relate to her story of seeing and feeling people.
I just absolutely love you, Wynonna. I always have. I hate the crap you're having to muddle through right now. You're such a bright light. I'm so sorry about your mom. ❤️
Wy is one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever known inside and out people don’t see her as just a person with big heart and I see that in her and she is my hero ❤
She’s such a beautiful woman and she was loved. She was loved so much, that the love her mom gave her, is what’s getting her through this terrible time. Her mom did what she did because her brain was sick, but not her heart. I hope her family will remember this. Love her mom and her family. Naomi did a wonderful job and made a life that was rememberable and great with the cards she was dealt.
Hoda, you did a magnificent job! You are perfect for this kind of interview. I have always noticed you for your empathetic and caring nature. Your family and friends are very lucky people. If I were several decades younger I'd ask you to be my mom. ❤ You are one classy lady❣
Purpose to be a source of comfort to others. This interview brought tears to my eyes. Identify totally with the dynamics of family. Seeing Wy say that she was seen as lazy versus the dreamer artist made me validated. ❤️❤️❤️✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼💋💋💋
When a daughter loses her mom. Especially if they have a good loving relationship. It is hard, and you never really get over it. My mom died from brain cancer 4 years ago. But it seems like yesterday. But you learn to move forward. Because we know our mom would want us to. My thoughts are with her family. It is not a club we ever want to be in. But we all will join. God bless
From someone who suffers from depression. This interview really touched me. And I felt the sadness wynonna is going through. And Honda you’re so sweet and kind and your so special for how you presented this interview
I LOVE Wynonna! She is so sweet and sharing and frank and FIERCE! A word I don't use, but she is it! She is adorable and I just love her communication and singing. Thank you!!! I miss Naomi. But thankful for the beautiful daughters.
She described exactly how I feel when I sing to my granddaughter. When she looks at me I see her love for me. It’s beautiful. WY, you will always have that love with you!
At age 22 I had the pleasure of meeting Naomi and Wynonna. I was a redheaded flag girl, on hwy. Construction job.I stopped all the busses. Lol They hung out the windows chatting away with me. Lovely women.. thank you for you're hearts.
Ya know, I feel for this talented woman. I always have. I know she hasn't had it easy, but I appreciate that she keeps forging forward anyway. Wynonna is made of very stern stuff. Very soon I know she will be able to pull herself up and reinvent herself as the strongest version of herself. Watch out everyone when she does this. It's going to be grand. Love and prayers to this phenomenal woman. ❤
Wow this was a great interview! Honda you are so gentle and thoughtful with your words. Wynonna Judd you are the queen. Your music has always been a part of my heart
I saw her on her tour,I'm glad she did it,it was hard ,you could sense the moments when she would miss her mom and I think the crowd helped her through it.stay strong
Just an Extraordinary soul - Wy - you inspire all of us !!!!!! Thank-you !!!!! Grateful for your insights , your heart , your transparency + authenticity. " Be Still and Know You are a Rock * Star * --- in my eyes !!!!!
I love you so much Wy.... In my the head she is my best friend and she talks just like me and to me such a hero and inspiration and every birthday I love and feel her music and spirit around me... That's why I'm here and yes you helped me and I lived in Ashland,KY for a brief time gosh you just don't know how important you are to me and this world ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wynona you helped me today where I was feeling really low & ‘crazy’ for the feelings I have, and I felt part of an army banding together to get through this with your words. Thank you.
LOVE Wy as a human and as an artist. Been listening and connecting with her since I was 12 years old. This is a REALLY good interview. I can always tell when Wy is comfy in an interview and the part about her singing barefoot is so true! ❤️
I love her... could listen to her talk all day! So real... someone we "real, everyday" women can relate to in So many ways! Don't stop sharing your healing... we ALL learn so much from your words!
Wynonna has most beautiful soul. I wish I could tell her story of my life and all the insane horrible things that have happened to me over past 7 yrs, including sudden loss of my soulmate best friend dad. Being a woman is never-ending painful journey; we suffer more than men can comprehend.
I hope Wy continues her interviews. She spreads her “heart wealth” wherever she goes.
she has so much more to offer than music - her music is such a blessing, I love it! - but her personal openness is powerful beyond words. She is a healer. I wonder if she's beginning to realize the impact she has on other women? Love her! Thank u Wy ;)
I like that phrase. Excellente!
True :) But I think rest is important too. Not everybody needs to share everything all the time.
So true! She's very wise. She needs a talk show.
Wonderful family who helped people less fortunate than they
Wynonna is correct. As your parents get older their world does become smaller, which means that their children are a bigger part in their life. Call your parents while you can.
Yea wish I could’ve too.
She suffered enough, only family, understands, the pain of each other.
Amen! ❤ call 📞 them

I completely agree! I’ve never really seen her interview anyone before. I just remember her with Kathy Lee. But I’m I couldn’t agree with you more!
Maybe just a little bit phony, but it doesn't work with Wynonna
I just love her. She’s always been so real and down to earth.

I needed the hope from her words in the book but then a month later she took her life - and so then I was like what do I do with that - it is really hard to understand, but then I watched the CMT Love Can Build a Bridge and some interviews and the Judds concerts and cried a lot and I felt the loss of the people she left behind to make you understand that if you feel bad you have to keep on for them - even when it is hard for yourself. I hope I can continue to feel that way - but I am sure Naomi kept trying to keep going for everyone else too. Sometimes it is so hard to keep suffering but you have to try for your kids. I haven't gotten past the I can't leave my kid behind not matter how hopeless or bad I feel about going on because of what it would do to him - although for myself I have the what is it all for or why do I have to keep hurting - but maybe there will be a grandchild or two in mu future - maybe something will come along to change and be uplifting. So I don't regret reading the book, and loved the music in the 90s and like most of us I will take what I can from her words and try to move on. It was an emotional read - and felt so hopeful for both her and myself after finishing it but then so close to finishing it she died and that was pretty raw. I don't normally read autobiographical books but I was drawn to it based on how I was feeling at the time. The only other famous person I read was one of Carrie Fisher and she died shortly after that too. So is it me? Although I grew up during Star Wars and didn't get the whole family dynamic until I was older. Thank you Wyonna for giving us this concert and being apart of your healing. I couldn't go in person but saw a lot of videos and cried and cheered you on. I don't know how you did it but it was amazing. I hope your family fills you with the love and support you need after this tour is ended. You are still a star. You are loved. And we are all amazed by you. Even if you never see this message - I am thankful.
I emphatically relate to her my mom had 3 girls an then a step daughter an i was the baby i was the one who took care of everyone an my whole life she never loved me like she did all my sisters an b 4 she passed shd said she was sry that she seen me as the strongest of her kids n she didnt think i needed her like they did n she didnt realize that i still needed her even tho she seen me as a super strong person i learned to just take care of myself my dad was amazing to all his kids n he was my heart now that they're both gone its been 2 an 3 yrs n i haven't grieved really when they passed i couldn't break down an fall apart my sisters needed me my nephews n niece's needed me i raised all my sisters kids so i still haven't really allowed myself im afraid to im afraid how dark it will get
Wynonna is the most beautiful woman...with an amazing voice. so sorry for her pain..prayers sent to her for her
This is such an amazing interview. Thank you Wynonna for your vulnerability!!! You have no idea how much influence and affect you have on people and how much power you will give people through your words of this interview!!! I can't tell you enough how powerful this is!!!!
Hoda, I noticed the present tense speaking of her mom as well. My mother ‘is’ a kind person. I suppose it’s similar to phantom pain when a person looses a limb. They often say my hand hurts even if hand has been removed. Those nerve endings still register the wholeness of what was once so familiar.
Wynonna is a remarkable speaker who always searched for appropriate words in order to project the best account of her situation and feelings. This makes he an enjoyable interview in my opinion.
Thank you both for this video.
If anyone needs a review of the fun loving days of a younger Wynonna please look for videos uploaded by Rosie O’ Donnell from her talk show in late 90’s. They are just the greatest interviews full of fun and exceptional friendships. You will greatly enjoy.
God bless you Wynonna. Great interview. Great job Hoda Kotb. 👍🏼 So compassionate. 🥰
Love blessings for this beautiful family. I've been a fan of Wy's since the 80s such a beautiful soul.
Wynonna, please keep shining your light, so brightly! You are amazing & this a huge gift that you share with the world, as well as your music. Your mom, is still& will forever be an amazing & beautiful soul, as are you & your sister. You have all brought great love & wisdom, to share with others. Thank you! My heart goes out to all of you. My aunt ended her life, the day after, I brought my first child (my daughter), home from the hospital & 2 days before her mom's birthday. My mom's brother's was in the Navy, during the Korean War & gave his life, to his country. He just turned 21a few days earlier, on Friday, Oct. 13, 1950& on Oct. 22, 1950. I was born . I believe that my daughter & I each came to comfort them, in their time of grief. They were her my mom's only siblings. Sending you love - hugs.❤❤❤
What an amazing person Wynona is!
Love Wy so much❤ Thank you for you being You💖🙏✝️🇺🇸
I love my granddaughter's songs. She'll sing about anything and everything. I love every second. She sounds great, too!! I just love that she's willing to share her heart with me like that!
Hoda, you are so genuine and caring. This is such a beautiful conversation. thank you.
What a great show. Nice to see others who feel like you do. I truly like Hoda. She is a kind understanding person.
Love the Judds…praying for Wy and Ashley💞
Beautiful - My parents get sweeter as the days go by. God bless you!
The saying that I cut out of a magazine and I keep on my vision board is, "Stay the course, TRUST the process!" As a single mom raising 2 daughters, it reassured me daily to do what mattered so they could achieve their dreams to graduate college and become Nurses.
Love this
“As our parents get older their world gets smaller and smaller.”
That hits home. Two years ago I lost my husband to suicide. My world keeps getting smaller. But I’m still fighting on.
❤❤❤
Leslie, I'm so very sorry you lost your husband that way. Your suffering must have been great. Hope things are going OK with you.
😢 So sorry for your loss 🙏
Sending you healing hugs 🤗 and prayers 🙏 you are strong 💪 one day at a time...
💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m so sorry for your loss.Keep fighting on.❤
I'm so grateful for this interview! I discovered so much about forgiveness. Hoda's way was perfect for allowing Wynonna's honest disclosure of such a personal place.
Wynonna is such a real person. Honest to goodness person! Love her!❤️
I have read all of Naomi books and thought through them she was so real, so knowledgeable about all kind of subjects, so intellectual; I am sure she did everything she thought of doing for her situation and was just caught in a vicious circle which she saw no ending; I think she was not perfect but did alot with what she was given and made a success of it for her children. They are lucky to have her example of love, tenacity and determination.
Such a strong soul on earth
Naomi looked so gorgeous on that last day of their performance. It is hard to imagine that would be her last day so the quandry left for her loved ones seems like it will linger. The only thing that crosses my mind is that secrets that people choose to keep secrets can be blinding for the ones that are left behind. All viewers really know for sure about Naomi is that she was mesmerrizing on stage and a great story teller of life. What a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. Her image of feminity is still imprinted in the minds of so many of us.
My heartbreaks for Naomi. Nobody believed her.
Love you Hoda. Wow phenomenal interview. Thank you Wyn. Be strong!
I have nothing NOTHING but LOVE & RESELECT for Wy ❤❤❤
Wy, Your mom helped me realize that it’s ok to not be ok through her book. I would love to talk with you, I see similar feeling with me & my son as you and your mom. It’s a struggle everyday
Years ago was visiting friends in TN and they took me to Summer Lights. Somehow we got right up front and Wynonna came out. I was not sure who she was, but I left a fan. What a dynamic performer. Was lucky enough to see her again in my hometown.
Loved this interview, what a great human being❤
What a great interview. Hoda you did an awesome job. Wynonna I could listen to you forever.
Oh I absolutely love her I grew up singing my heart out to their songs with my favorite gurl cousin❤️💜💙♥️🤞I absolutely love her sweet soul she is my twin spirit and I found that hurt by loosing my best friend my momma in 2003 when I was 23 had my daughter who was 2 and a half...I was totally lost. And only running to God saved me from myself....God filled me up my cup runnenth over♥️💙💜❤️
Reba, I've lost my mother & father, I know how hard it is, my mom was my best friend. We did everything together. We traveled to Tennessee for Fan fair 5 years in a row. That was one of my favorite memories. You are my absolute favorite country singer. I didn't care for Country music, growing up, my father was from West Virginia & adored Country music. When I started listening to it, I told my mom, don't tell dad, lol! The reason being was because, I had complained to him about not caring for Country music for so long. I just knew that he would gloat. But now that is all that I will listen to & you are my absolute favorite!! I hope that you keep singing for asong as I'm on this earth!
Love Naomi. She was a treasure.🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰
I love this interview, very warm, keeps it feeling like home. My mom passed very suddenly over 10 years ago, and I still miss her and our time together. I often wish there were things I had done. You were blessed to have her that one last time
GOD THE JUDDS ARE SOOO REAL. FEEL SO CLOSE TO THEM CAUSE SO MANY THINGS IN MY LIFE ARE SIMILIAR. WISH SOMEDAY I CAN TALK TO WY LET HER KNOW HOW MUCH HER BEING REAL GIVES ME HOPE. ALWAYS THINK OF NAOMI ALWAYS AS WELL AS ASHLEY AND POP! THEY ARE SUCH A BLESSINGS!
Love you Wynonna I know you miss your mom it’s so great how you all sung together and sounded great together my heart goes out to you beautiful lady🙏🏻❤️🌹✝️☮️🎈💞😊
Love the Judds. They are so
open about their dysfunction and their love! I know Wynonna will continue to be a huge success as a solo artist! She’s absolutely done this for years and she can continue on. My heart hurts for her with the loss of her mother. I wish she could see the difference she makes when she shares her heart through words and song.
Wynonna and Naomi are two of my favorite singers. The entire country music community is grieving with y’all. We love y’all. Thanks Hoda for helping us through with letting us hear Wy speak. It is not easy is the truth. The first outfit I bought myself with money I won raising money selling wrapping paper for the school’s concert band was a gold lame skirt with a black and gold sweater from Parisian. I wear black a lot. It’s my job uniform for years under whatever jacket they had. I love how honest her and her family are and listening to her say we all matter is the truth. I work with women everyday and relate to her story of seeing and feeling people.
I just absolutely love you, Wynonna. I always have. I hate the crap you're having to muddle through right now. You're such a bright light. I'm so sorry about your mom. ❤️
This is great therapy for me..thank you Wy and Hoda..
I love Wyonna one of the most down to earth people. I loved to listen to her and her Moms music together. ❤️
I really lived this.!!! So glad I found you Hoda !!!
Wy you are such an inspiration to others and I love your honesty and your humor 💕 Love you to the moon and back Wy!🥰
Wy is one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever known inside and out people don’t see her as just a person with big heart and I see that in her and she is my hero ❤
She’s such a beautiful woman and she was loved. She was loved so much, that the love her mom gave her, is what’s getting her through this terrible time. Her mom did what she did because her brain was sick, but not her heart. I hope her family will remember this. Love her mom and her family. Naomi did a wonderful job and made a life that was rememberable and great with the cards she was dealt.
Hoda, you did a magnificent job! You are perfect for this kind of interview. I have always noticed you for your empathetic and caring nature. Your family and friends are very lucky people. If I were several decades younger I'd ask you to be my mom. ❤ You are one classy lady❣
Absolutely priceless, she's a beautiful hearted woman❣️It's hard to live that life. You are loved so much ❣️
Purpose to be a source of comfort to others. This interview brought tears to my eyes. Identify totally with the dynamics of family. Seeing Wy say that she was seen as lazy versus the dreamer artist made me validated. ❤️❤️❤️✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼💋💋💋
When a daughter loses her mom. Especially if they have a good loving relationship. It is hard, and you never really get over it. My mom died from brain cancer 4 years ago. But it seems like yesterday. But you learn to move forward. Because we know our mom would want us to. My thoughts are with her family. It is not a club we ever want to be in. But we all will join. God bless
I have always adored Wy her raw natural honesty, what I would give to sit and talk to her about dysfunctional family. Wy is just awesome.
From someone who suffers from depression. This interview really touched me. And I felt the sadness wynonna is going through. And Honda you’re so sweet and kind and your so special for how you presented this interview
Love you Wynonna ! I’d rather be right,then be loved. Love that ❤️
I LOVE Wynonna! She is so sweet and sharing and frank and FIERCE! A word I don't use, but she is it! She is adorable and I just love her communication and singing. Thank you!!! I miss Naomi. But thankful for the beautiful daughters.
Winona inspires me…she touches my heart.
I’ll Always remember Naomi for being bigger than life!!! She will live on & on!!! Kindness is THE BEST REASON FOR ANYONE TO BE REMEMBERED!!!
She described exactly how I feel when I sing to my granddaughter. When she looks at me I see her love for me. It’s beautiful. WY, you will always have that love with you!
Amazing human Ms Wynona. The greatest gift you can give you kids is to listen. So profound. God bless you❤
I so relate to Wynona in her grief & some of her experiences!
At age 22 I had the pleasure of meeting Naomi and Wynonna. I was a redheaded flag girl, on hwy. Construction job.I stopped all the busses. Lol They hung out the windows chatting away with me. Lovely women.. thank you for you're hearts.
Ya know, I feel for this talented woman. I always have. I know she hasn't had it easy, but I appreciate that she keeps forging forward anyway. Wynonna is made of very stern stuff. Very soon I know she will be able to pull herself up and reinvent herself as the strongest version of herself. Watch out everyone when she does this. It's going to be grand. Love and prayers to this phenomenal woman. ❤
After losing my mom unexpectedly to pancreatic cancer.I just couldn’t imagine my mom taking her own life.God bless you Wy❤🙏
I love this lady.☘Wynonna you have saved 100s.of people. You just don't know.
Wow this was a great interview! Honda you are so gentle and thoughtful with your words. Wynonna Judd you are the queen. Your music has always been a part of my heart
I saw her on her tour,I'm glad she did it,it was hard ,you could sense the moments when she would miss her mom and I think the crowd helped her through it.stay strong
Just an Extraordinary soul - Wy - you inspire all of us !!!!!! Thank-you !!!!! Grateful for your insights , your heart , your transparency + authenticity. " Be Still and Know You are a Rock * Star * --- in my eyes !!!!!
I love you so much Wy.... In my the head she is my best friend and she talks just like me and to me such a hero and inspiration and every birthday I love and feel her music and spirit around me... That's why I'm here and yes you helped me and I lived in Ashland,KY for a brief time gosh you just don't know how important you are to me and this world ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wynona you helped me today where I was feeling really low & ‘crazy’ for the feelings I have, and I felt part of an army banding together to get through this with your words. Thank you.
LOVE Wy as a human and as an artist. Been listening and connecting with her since I was 12 years old. This is a REALLY good interview. I can always tell when Wy is comfy in an interview and the part about her singing barefoot is so true! ❤️
Thank you Wy for keepin' on and for your great big heart-I see your evolution. Please know that you don't stand alone.
I love her... could listen to her talk all day! So real... someone we "real, everyday" women can relate to in So many ways! Don't stop sharing your healing... we ALL learn so much from your words!
Wynonna has most beautiful soul. I wish I could tell her story of my life and all the insane horrible things that have happened to me over past 7 yrs, including sudden loss of my soulmate best friend dad. Being a woman is never-ending painful journey; we suffer more than men can comprehend.
💗🙏 Wy. Trust the process. Thank you. One person helped.
