Country music star Wynonna Judd opened up about losing her mother Naomi Judd earlier this year to suicide, explaining she remains “incredibly angry” that she will be performing alone.
Despite being sure she should go on tour in November, the daughter of the Judds’ iconic music duo is not sure whether it will be a healing experience.
“I have no idea. I swear to God, I don’t know if this time it’s therapy,” Judd told CBS’s Lee Cowan. “I think it’s important to do it, if that makes sense. I feel like I have my marching orders, and I know what they are, and I’m going to show up. I don’t know if it’s going to be therapy. I’ll tell you in November. I will literally tell you in November, ‘That was the most amazing experience of my life,’ or. ‘That was a sh*tshow.’”

“As I walk out onstage that first night, I’ll probably say something like, ‘It’s not supposed to be like this,’ because it’s not, right? It’s supposed to be the two of us. And I’m going to be angry because she’s not there,” she added.
Judd said she still feels her mother’s spirit with her.
“I feel her nudging me,” Judd said. “Sometimes, I laugh. And sometimes, I say, ‘I really miss you. Why aren’t you here so we can argue?’”
The country music star also admitted that she still questions whether she should have recognized that her mother was struggling with her mental health to a great degree.
“She had incredibly great days in the middle of dark days,” Judd said. “I did not know that she was at the place she was at when she ended it because she had had episodes before, and she got better. And that’s what I live in, is like, ‘Was there anything I should have looked for or should I have known?’ I didn’t.”
Judd said despite both her and her sister, Ashley Judd, grieving differently, they are more united than they have been in a long time.
