She felt things deeply. You can tell things like seeing someone suffer bothered her. And deeply affected her. May she Rest In Peace with the lord and Jesus Christ. She will be very missed.

Her right hand is shaking as she talks. She said in another interview 5 years ago that the meds she takes for depression make her shake and look heavy. I think she was tired. RIP Naomi - life well lived.

Naomi was such an empathetic soul and a wonderfully talented vocalist. May she rest easy in eternal peace. 🙏🏼♥️✝️

We really do need to be kinder to one another we never really know what the other person is going through. She had a very soft heart and such an empath RIP Naomi

It's heartbreaking and unbelievable that less than 3 weeks later, she would make such a drastic decision. Sadly, depression is just as real as cancer, and it is often fatal as well. It doesn't matter who you are, how rich and famous, how beautiful - it doesn't discriminate. Naomi fought hard for many years. And she was full of love and empathy for others suffering as well, so much so that despite her hands shaking, and her not feeling good, she had the courage to put herself out there and share her journey in order to help others. I pray that she finally found the peace that eluded her while she was here. May god comfort all those who loved her.

She is a perfect example of an EMPATH who struggled with her tremendous abilities and gifts but her great mind exhausted her.

I felt this! As someone who feels pain for others were asked why we cry so much, the same reason we smile so much WE FEEL EVERYTHING!!!😭

RIP Naomi. You will be missed but your music will live on forever!

This interview breaks my heart. Her affect seems flat. I've always seem her with a spark. It just wasn't there. I'm so sorry for her pain. What a wonderful Compassionate woman. RIP. Rest in Jesus's arms.

Its very sad that you can't even tell when someone has mental health issues (depression) and that is why it is so overlooked, ignored and dismissed. She was so beautiful in every way and she was 76 years old! RIP beautiful lady... peace to you always. 😢🙏

I am heart broken and stunned. Like Naomi I have had HepC and after 30 years, cured. As Naomi struggled with mental health issues, so do I. I cannot let her passing sink in. It has affected me beyond any other music artist in country.so beautiful, caring, intelligent. I pray for her daughters. You were blessed to have such a wonderful mother and she's singing in the Heavenly choir now. 💋🌹rosita

Can't believe she's gone. She hid it so well. Hope she's at peace now. Til we meet again! God bless you always.

This interview breaks my heart right now 😥 but I am so glad Naomi's thought provoking words about the conditions of life are memorialized in this.

She was an amazing woman. Such a caring, sweet, beautiful spirit. Rest In Peace, Naomi. As your song says: you’re now a Guardian Angel.

So sad to hear of Naomi's passing. I hope she has found peace. God bless her daughters and grandchildren and husband. I grew up listening to the Judd's n hold a special place in my heart for them. Rest easy darlin Naomi. ❤💕

We never know the deep struggle to survive one battles daily…. May she now be at peace ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful woman inside and out. May she rest in peace.

sitting here in tears. Can't believe she's passed! My heart goes out to her loved ones! RIP

My childhood was riding around with my mom and sisters blaring the Judds and singing along on our way to the store! I am absolutely devastated but hope she is at peace now!

Such a huge loss in so many ways. You can feel her mind deeply thinking in this interview. She pulls from her heart to speak and with empathy and compassion speaks as if the hardships in life and around her totally consume her every thought. Love can build a bridge but the road to the bridge is paved in tears and full of obstacles. She lived life working on the bridge and treading on the tears.

I have been a fan since the 80’s. So sorry to hear of her passing. I’m not sure of the circumstances but a true legend and pillar in the CM industry, RIP beautiful lady. Totally “shook”.

May you RIP Mama Judd… I grew up listening to you and Wynonna. ❤️ you were and still are a inspiration to many of us. I suffer from mental illness and it’s not an easy thing to manage. We try our best. I pray you found the peace you always needed since being that little girl. Much love ❤️

From a Latin American born in Jersey may her soul be at peace, she did her best with what she had to deal with. And if her daughter's reads this just know she build you girls up with little to no help and so far you girl's turned out just fine. Naomi dahling life was never easy nor fair but you girl's kicked @ with your performance every time.

Beautiful, kind soul, with a voice of an Angel. She wrote the most beautiful songs, you couldn’t help but get all the feels when The Judd’s sang. I grew listening to my single mother singing their songs, now I sit along side my little girl and sing those same songs with her. Thank you for creating and sharing your music with the world. Sending love and prayers to the girls and the family.❤️🙏🏻

Some of us feel too much and some feel nothing at all. God bless everyone who struggles with mental illness. I have been judged and made fun of my wholeife because I struggle in my journey on earth. RIP Momma Judd

As she says some of the most compassionate, heartfelt things , her hands are trembling so badly. She is an empath and her lovely soul lasted in this world much longer than some other lovely souls could bear. RIP Naomi

She looked so beautiful in what I believe is her last interview...may she RIP...I can definitely relate to having severe depression and surprised I held on this long at age 38.

So heartbreaking to hear of her passing. Rest now Naomi.

Naomi had been troubled for quite some time with depression. She was very public about it. I think things just became too much to bear. We've all been there. Hope you have found peace sweetheart. Sympathy to the family ..also many prayers.

I was very blessed to have met her. What a sweet, beautiful soul. She will be so very missed. ❤️

I'm absolutely STUNNED. Its so difficult to believe that she is gone !

Beautiful woman! I truly hope she’s at peace now. RIP Naomi 🕊 We love you

The Judds are rare people in entertainment - superstars who never forgot who they were or where they came from, they are real people who have transparently shared their lives - good and bad - with the entire world. I hope Miss Naomi is basking in Heaven's glow, free of the pain that had wracked her for so long. RIP legendary lady.

She was a brilliant woman-talented and smart and was dealt such a poor hand in life but brought so much joy to many around the world! She impacted many lives. I love her.

Many times when she wouldn't go on tour it was because she had to go into a Psychiatric Hospital on her own of course to get her life back on track. She also became a hermit and wouldn't leave her home and with all of us that suffers from mental illness, her hygiene got bad. You just don't care when you get to that point. This is exactly why her and Wynonna had a rough relationship for a long time back when Wynonna was putting out #1 hits one after the other. She also suffered massive panic attacks. People say you grow out of them, well I am here to say that NO you don't. Not everyone. Mine began at 21 and I'm 54 now and I actually think they are worse. In this interview you can see how she is hiding nervousness by watching her hands. She isn't comfortable at all. I suffer from bipolar, PTSD and debilitating panic attacks each and everyday and the meds doesn't help always. The Doctors have to switch and play around with your medicine and it's very easy to say, "No more Medicine! It isn't working or helping me!" I think possibly she thought that and did what the the medicine is "supposed" to prevent you from doing. RIP Naomi and God Bless all of you that are suffering from a mental illness. ASK FOR HELP OVER AND OVER!!

I had the wonderful opportunity to have met Naomi and Wynonna on more then a few occasions, the type of work I was involved with allowed it in addition to many other public figures. The Judds were very pleasant, accepting, warm, easy to speak with, after all people in public eye are human just like us, difference is their job entails performing, more well known due to the nature of the job. The performance permits to take us away but if just for a moment in time to another world of forgetting our troubles, it does the same for the performer as well. Music is an exchange of energy of emotions between artist and audience, a slice of heaven where everything in the outside world is forgotten, a moment of blissful opportunity for us to be in touch with our feelings, sometimes the song touches a spot where we release tears. Music is emotions applied to lyrics, tones and melody, it's birthed out of emotions. Everything we do and create is birthed out of emotions. My greatest hopes is we never forget, we don't ever have amnesia from what she struggled immensely with like millions of people do. The stigma of mental health has to be stopped. The brain can become unwell just like any other organ in our body. When a person is born with a heart defect, their lifestyle has to be different then a person born with a healthy heart, if not their life expectancy is shorter. If a persons family has chronic mental health in their gene pool, if they're exposed to traumatic events or succumb to trauma, likelihood of triggering setting off imbalance of chemicals in the brain and effecting central nervous system is high, sometimes it can never rebalance, even through extensive treatments, they're resistant to treatment. Just as with a family with inheritance of diabetes, a family member can carry the gene however if they live a healthy lifestyle, odds are greater in their favor for gene not triggering. If we knew a person had diabetes, we're not going to oblige in asking them if they want a piece of cake, we'd know it's harmful. If we evolve to a place where we can speak openly about mental health, we can arrive to a place a person can freely mention they have temporary or chronic struggles therefore it will change the approach in how we speak to them. If the cake would effect the diabetic, the nature of words we use and our tone would be accommodating to the person struggling with mental health. The word mental is a variation of the mind, it does not mean crazy, health is to do with condition. There's physical and mental health. What would happen if a person felt shameful sharing with anyone they had a broken bone, they felt so utterly shameful they kept it a secret, because of the shame they didn't want to visit a doctor? It goes untreated, means no healing. In able to freely share, they'll get advice from a family member, friend or even a stranger. They'll be concerned about how it happened, how much pain they're in, and advise to go to the ER or doctors. By not having "shame", they're freely able to share, therefore able to have support and treatment from a doctor. Family and friends will offer support to help with necessities if they're immobilized. As long as there's "shame"/a stigma around mental health, it means a person doesn't share the thoughts they struggle with, don't express their feelings, they either hide as much as they can, either behind a smile or behind closed doors, which follows not seeing a mental health doctor, equals no treatment, which could manifest into decline. Addictions which is self medicating to numb and escape feeling certain emotions, is from burying trauma, in addition trying to cope with life stressors, "not in all cases", sometimes it's rooted in people that have a very sensitive disposition, they're sensitive to energy, they feel extremely deeply, it's the nature of whom they are. There's some coping tools they can adopt to help navigate in the unfortunate reality that our species can be harsh, but their personality won't alter, it's part of their gene pool. We wouldn't want to try and strip someone of who they are, it's like breaking into a persons house and stealing. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being sensitive, as far as feeling deeply goes, there is a problem if our sensitivity is projected in a way it inflicts harm upon another person. Feeling deep in this world, having sensitivity is perceived as a weakness for most part, because our species is still operating from the survivalist mode, the mentality of the strong survive, survivalist perception is "strength" (most popular and powerful, wealth, status, most awards, most intelligent, talented, most attractive, biggest house, etc....), we were raised more on how to survive rather then raised on how to love. We've been living on a stage for generations performing, scared to show reality of ourselves, out of fear survival. We're overly competitive against each other due to fear for survival. Until we evolve into freely accepting our "humnaness" completely = able to discuss our burdens, trauma, our struggles, our shadow side/our flaws, our insecurities birthed from wounds, etc...., we'll not be able to heal collectively, therefore not evolve. Healing is done when we share, when we heal or at least manage the wounds our wounds will not project onto others, if they do bleed, at least we'll have the tools to resolve issues or reconcile. I understand fully it's frightening sharing the most intricate and delicate parts of ourselves within a species that perceives sharing the most human aspects of ourselves as weak, fear being taken advantage of, or looked at strangely, fear of rejection or abandoned from family, friends or society, but if want a healthier and loving species we'll have to. Our forefathers and mothers took leaps of faith and big risks before us to get us where we are today, we're here because of them, and one day future generations we'll be thanking us for taking risks. I'm not implying for us just to share with anyone, we must not do anything we feel will put us in harm's way, it be mental or physical, and also certainly must not do it if we're not ready, but if ever ready and safe to do so would be wonderful, if not ever ready it's ok too, doesn't mean weakness whatsoever, it's a personal right and choice, there's reasons known to person they don't feel comfortable doing so. ❤As Mrs. Naomi Judd stated in lyrics : "Love can build a bridge, between your heart and mine, love can build a bridge, don't you think it's time, don't you think it's time" YES IT'S TIME ❤🌉❤ I thank Mrs. Naomi for all that she's contributed to the world. I'm so incredibly sorry for her years of struggling the internal fight. Where there's love, we will survive. The old survivalist mode needs to be said goodbye to. When there's love it opens the door to our humnaness. It will provide to us the experience and emotions just like we do when surrounded together before the music. My deepest love and condolences to Wynonna and Ashley, their family and friends. My heart breaks for her daughters and grandchildren. They'll be in my thoughts and well wishes of comfort. ❤

I’m so very sad. I just loved Naomi. The most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. My husband and I also in our early 70’s in Australia, have followed the Judds since they began. Always been mesmerised by their talent . A unique couple. I am so sad for her daughters. God watch over them. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Feeling so blessed that I was graced with seeing her and Wynona perform live many years ago and so thankful for the joy she shared even while battling the life draining illnesses of chronic Hepatitis and severe clinical depression. You know that people who truly suffer the most in their own lives are the ones who have the greatest empathy for others, no mater what walk of life they may come from..Rest in peace and keep the love alive to all of her beautiful surviving family❤️ God Bless

Our condolences to her daughters. Thank you Naomi for the music. A sad farewell to a country music legend.

Since Naomi's death I've been going back and listening to those songs that we all loved. These songs will hold up forever and be received by each generation just as they were by mine. I will forever miss those harmony vocals.

This is happening with so many people now, especially since Covid began. The Ukraine War is making people feel hopeless even here in the US. All the fighting on social media, the rise in food, gas, housing, wages not rising with inflation, people losing homes, going hungry. I know she helped people a lot with her money. I wish she could’ve held on longer but may she find the peace she sought. Sensitive people have a hard time with the way the world is going. The writing on the wall is terrifying.

Naomi will be missed, loved her spirit and how empathic she was. She was one of the good ones who carried more burdens then she should have. RIP pretty lady. ❤️

I love her genuine love and thoughtfulness. Such honesty even to the point cutting one’s soul. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love to the family, especially during this sad time.

I really do see now, with my older years and time, just how sensitive and deep she is-probably always was, but I didn't stop to pay attention as I was growing up with the Judds at their height, etc. That is the beauty of getting older. What a beautiful woman-inside and out. I didn''t say perfect, but beautiful, caring, loving, talented and hard working. What a family and I am sending so much love to them!

Bless her heart....😢today I learned of her death. I suffer from Depression and Anxiety also , so I know 1st hand how the effects are rough and debilitating. I'm so very sorry for your loss. 😢

She was such a beautiful woman and seemed like a genuine soul. May she rest peacefully 💕🕯🕊

Late Naomi was so beatiful inside and outside; she comforted me in this last interview....Bless your soul Naomi!

Nice to see such a successful woman caring about sooo many that have absolutely nothing. R.I.P. 💙

Bless her heart, her hands shaking and her heart so empathetic. Utterly heartbreaking. Rest In Peace.

THIS interview shows the deep empathy Naomi had for her fellow people. I was startled to hear her say that her husband hated the fact that she pictured the homeless man on the park bench, when she sang the song. With all due respect to her husband, a songwriter will usually remember the WHY of writing the song. Honestly, every deep sensitive creative person out there reading this, should be aware of the attitudes of those in our own household. I would rather be alone and true to myself than with anybody that does not get my deep empathy for other people. This interview says a lot. Stay true to yourselves, creatives out there. Be your own warrior. Everyday. USA

A beautiful woman and it is heartbreaking that she wasn’t able to make it through a difficult period of time. Prayers for her family and friends.

Oh Naomi, if you only knew how many hearts are broken because you're no longer in this world. You are so special. I wish you felt important, because you are🌻 Rest In Sweet Peace💔

I never heard about this wonderful lady before ,I just watched this after the news of her passing.what a great interview and her message is clear,”we need love one another and we need to share the love by helping others who don’t have nothing “ I think she can’t take it anymore,this world can be brutal sometimes.we need love to overcome it.May ,she Rest In Peace.

SO SAD TO HEAR OF NAOMI’S PASSING. THIS INTERVIEW IS SO SAD BECAUSE SHE WAS IN PAIN. GOES TO SHOW NO ONE KNOWS THE HEART AND MIND BUT GOD ALONE.

So sad...you can see that the light in her eyes is gone. Rest in Peace lovely lady!

I'm not a country music fan but I would always stop and watch The Judds on TV. They were such an amazing duo. I am very saddened by the loss of Naomi Judd. May she rest in peace 🙏

It's so tragic that such a beautiful, gifted & genuine spirit that helped so many & complete strangers could not be saved herself. She was such a light in this world &;touched so many people's lives that were strangers as well as friends. Such a testament to a woman of faith & a beautiful soul & spirit. RIP Naomi.. I'd love to have been a part of her close circle of friends. Anyone that was needs to cherish the fortune of her friendship. You are truly blessed.

I met the Judds in 1989 while touring with The Nitty Gritty Dirty Band. They were both very sweet to me and very protective as I was 10 with backstage passes to anywhere I wanted to go backstage. I hope she has finally found peace. My mother was bi-polar, manic depressive. My mother tried to commit suicide seven times and finally the 8th time, succeeded in causing a stroke where she was paralyzed for 4 years before she finally passed. I really can relate with Wy, having such a competitive, controlling mom. It was hard living with someone like that. My prayers to Wy and Ashley.

One never knows what another may be going through. If we have learned anything from the past 2+ years, let’s hope it is to be kind, to be patient, and to be generous. Rest peaceful in that light, Naomi…

Rest In Peace, beautiful Naomi may the Lord take you up into his eternal love right now🕊🙏🏻🌸

I am disbelief! It hit me hard when I found out yesterday. 😩💔😭

I grew up listening to the judds. They were my favorite! RIP…I always listen to them when I’m down so she did an amazing job with her songwriting and she definitely had a purpose here on this earth!🕊🙏🏼❤️

She had so much empathy and compassion.. just a true Angel on earth.. 💗RIP😔

Love this woman. I’m sad for her sadness and depressive state. I know she is resting and out of pain! I 💙 you Naomi Judd! Bless your family!

A true legend and angel of grace ❤️ you will be missed your voice remembered - I’m sorry you hid your pain so long and hurt so badly - RIP Mama Judd - you won’t be forgotten 🙏🏻 thank you for writing some of the most memorable heartfelt and soul touching songs ever to grace our presence 🙏🏻❤️😘

If this Woman did not give anything else … she gave us her her legacy summed up in her words “ We All Need Each Other” when we truly get that we will change the 🌎!

Naomi is so pretty and such a delightful lady. May she Rest In Peace. Fly high Angel 🦋🦋🙏🏻🙏🏻💕

Rip Naomi I know how you struggled and I'm sorry you were in so much pain

What a Heart for others she had! Love Can Build a Bridge is my favorite 💛

I simply can't believe it. Sending love and prayers to your family and fans.

Rest In Peace Naomi thanks to you we all know what it’s like & to live with depression You help a lot of us that don’t have anyone to talk to & God Bless your two daughters & your husband they are left to carry on without you They are strong & you will live on forever

I feel her. Even when speaking of great things she's got no facial expression. God Bless you sweet soul. 🙏🏼💖🕊

This song was popping in my head yesterday.. I love that song. Rest in Peace beautiful lady ❤️

I agree with some of the comments here that say no one can know what is in the mind of a severely depressed person,smiling faces hide a lot of pain,and for some that pain is so great ,they get tired of fighting the darkness that depression can cause,and sadly those left behind with broken hearts will always wonder why they couldn't see beyond the smile,what could they have done to stop this,but the sad truth is,when a person is determined to end their life?There was nothing anyone could of done. May you rest with the Angels.🌹

She and Wy were amazing entertainers! Loved,loved their music! So sad that she has passed,you could see in this interview she wasn’t well,rest In Peace sweet Angel! Heaven gained another angelic voice!

RIP Dear Naomi.You left this earth on your own terms.I hope you're having a great time singing with the other legends now.

I’m goin to miss seeing that beautiful deep thinking lady and hearing her talk bc she had such a great way of touching others with her words♥️🙏♥️

She was a Pretty Women and Performer . Living with depression, having to have your demons never go away completely, is a difficult and painful existence for some of us . I know her pain , similar story . My prayers are with the family! She will not have to suffer anymore , she is an Angel singing in God’s Quior

Just loved her GENUINE humble nature, and a nurse, a kindred spirit!!!😢😢😢, rest now lovely one.

My heart is just broken tonight. Rest in peace beautiful lady. ♡

God Bless her and she is with our Lord. I saw her years ago at the Imperial Nebraska fair with her daughter, my husband and I had front row seats. What a show! They sang in unison. God Bless her!

Always a class act .

We are not out there needing to know why but to say we were blessed to have her in our life and we are praying for her family at this time 🙏 ❤

Absolutely brokenhearted!! She suffered for many years and she was such a beautiful woman!!!

Such a beautiful lady and good hearted soul…rest in Peace Naomi

Naomi lives on through her girls, Physically absent, But oh so present in spirit 💫

Rest in peace, Naomi. I hope you finally found happiness.

May this message be at the heart of her legacy. RIP

So sad such a good woman she was such a caring person RIP

My heart breaks for her family. She had such a precious soul! I’ll miss her so much!

She is shaking while holding the mic. Her eyes seem distant. She was so loved and her daughters need prayers. 🙏💖

Heartbreaking news, may she Rest In Peace. From their very first song in the early 80s I grew up loving the songs of the Judds. Profound sadness has filled my heart for her daughters , and husband. So very sorry for their devastating loss.

Love all Judd girls. Thank you Naomi for giving us generations of love and music. May you be singing with the angels sweet one. To Wy,Ash, Larry...Im so sorry for your terrible loss. Wife and mother is one of the hardest ones to endure, but I'm grateful you had her for as long as you did. Love really can build a bridge. Love y'all and God bless.

So sorry to hear of her passing. She was a sweet soul. REST IN PEACE Naomi.

Naomi shines here in this video. Words so thoughtfully chosen. So humble. Big heart. R.I.P. and I mean it. 🥰

Naomi Judd, Grammy-winning member of The Judds, . She was 76. The daughters announced her death on Saturday in a statement provided to The Associated Press.

This breaks my heart so much I’ve been where she is at she is so missed that I can’t put it into words and this song makes me bawl like a baby

Hard to believe she is gone 💔 she looks so vibrant,.....everything to look forward to, then this news....so sad.
