Wynonna Judd discussed living life following her mother Naomi Judd’s passing.
On Sunday, just less than a month after Naomi died by suicide at the age of 76, Wynonna, 57, wrote a heartfelt post on Instagram that detailed how she is doing after the loss of her mom.
“Checking in. There is so much happening in the world right now,” the singer wrote in the caption of her post, alongside an image of herself performing.
Adding that she had trouble coming up with the words to share, Wynonna continued, “Before I sat down to write this, I thought, ‘No…I just don’t know what to say.’ Then, I heard the words from my life coach asked me, ‘What do you know?’ And I began to cry.”
“WHAT DO I KNOW??” she continued. “I DO know, that the pain of losing Mom on 4/30 to suicide is so great, that I often feel like I’m not ever going to be able to fully accept and surrender to the truth that she left the way she did. This cannot be how The Judds story ends.💔.”
Wynonna also wrote that “in order to be a healthier grandparent to my firstborn grandchild Kaliyah,” she would have to “continue to show up for myself {first} and do the personal healing work.” She also plans to “break the cycle of addiction & family dysfunction.”
“I know that it is a simple steps program, and those steps are not easy to take at times,” she explained.
The country star also revealed she “made a commitment to keep doing the ‘next right thing,’ and schedule weekly appointments so that I continue with the ongoing work, even when I have good days.”
“I DO know, that I feel so helpless—right now especially,” Wynonna shared. “I DO know, that as corny as it sounds, ‘Love Can Build A Bridge.’ I find myself humming the song that Mom wrote for the fans, to myself here on the farm at night.”
Wynonna said that she understands she can’t “do this grieving thing all by myself,” noting, “it’s okay to reach out for help.”
“I will continue to fight for my faith, for my SELF, for my family, and I WILL continue to show up & sing,” she added.
Wynonna thanked her followers for “all for your love and support” and concluded her message by writing, “Let’s check-in more often. 🎶💜🎶.”
