    The depth of compassion Naomi’s fellow passenger showed to Larry and the Judd family is beyond measure. Not only was the letter eloquently written but gentleman took the time to comfort a husband and family of people he had barely even heard of. While I’m mourning the loss of Naomi and the heartbreak of her family as so many other are doing, I praise the stranger who took the time to open his heart as well❤🙏🏻🙏🏻

      Terrie Severson, I agree wholeheartedly with your thoughts and words. You spoke truthfully and admirably. When hearing Naomi's husband Larry retelling a story / email about a stranger on a plane ride with Naomi and how she enriched his life for meeting her, it made me briefly pause, because I had this feeling in my gut that those two strangers's meeting was not a coincidence. How odd that she took her life the next day knowing full well that she would be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame the following day, would of wanted to kill herself,unless she was listening to the demons within her head. I do not think that kind and eloquent gentleman who sat and conversed with Naomi, was perhaps, not truly of this world. I know that is a stretch in logical thinking, but who knows the full dialog between this stranger and Naomi. Perhaps because she wrestled the demons she thought were haunting her, God sent an angel to try and talk her out of what was in her mind to do.
      She must of thought hard and for some time to plan this demise.
      Who knows except her and her maker what those thoughts were, but as I listened to Larry telling of this email of a gentleman passenger who just happen to sit by her, and just happened to recieve a business card from her to give to Larry is not in my opinion, coincidence. I think he was an angel in disguise to talk with Naomi and try to talk her out of what surely she planned at some point to do to end the demons persecuting her mind and body. This gentleman wanted to let Larry know personally, of how he was loved by Naomi and how she touched his life as well. I am hopeful that this "angel" walked her home at the time of her passing. Rest with the Angel's Naomi.

      @@debbiecrum7585 I agree with everything you said with everything in me. Alot of people don't believe in Angel's but I do. I've had many encounters with Angel's myself every since I was 12 yrs old. So many times they've saved my life. My Angel mama has visited me too. I've been physically touched by my mama and other Angel's quite often. I've read that a coincidence was God's way of creating a miracle. Angel's walk among us every day. At times they'll do anything to get our attention. My love and prayers go out to Larry, Wynonna and Ashley.. Coincidence? No..like you said, that Angel took Naiomi's hand and walked her home. God Bless you 🙏

    Larry is truly the unsung hero…. I have loved the Judds all these years and have closely followed all 3 of them. However managing those 3 women’s huge personalities and so much conflict (at least from my perspective) was no small task. He really is a gem and I enjoyed hearing him share this email. He really loved Naomi and the girls … and what a blessing he has been to this family. RIP Naomi

    Naomi and her daughter Wynonna, had a huge impact on mine and my mother's love of music. When the song, "Love Can Build A Bridge," was the first country song I taught my 3 year old Niece Lydia. When hearing of this loss, my heart hurt for her and her family. What could I do, some stranger the family had never met yet had a huge influence on my life? I did what any other Judd loving individual would do, had a sing along party with my mom and daughter, three generations being touched by the duo that knew how to share their love to everyone through their music. Thank you for sharing you love of people and music Naomi. I pray for peace for your family and you.

They always stood by Naomi in her illness, hoping things would get better for her, and that takes a Great deal of strength and patience. They’re turning something that is Endlessly sad into setting focus on the realities of mental illness and what actually can & Should be done to help those afflicted.

    Ashley's interview hit me right in the gut as she struggled to let the world know just a very small amount of what her poor mother went through. As someone who's struggled with severe depression most of my life I was sobbing as I listened to Ashley tell her mom's story. For those of you who have loved ones and have suffered the way Naomi did and you don't understand why your loved one just can't "snap out of it and just let it go" then watch Ashley's story with Diane Sawyer then you just might get an inkling of the kind of very sad life that Naomi had and how she could not help herself as hard as she tried. God bless the Judd family and her wonderful and amazing husband. Naomi you are finally free from this horrific disease. You are finally free and can truly rest in peace.

      I cried for Ashley, Wynonna, Larry & the rest of the Judd Family.
      I cried for the many, many, many victims that these illnesses created.
      I cried for the people that suffer in silence, afraid of the stigmas society has created.
      I cried for those that suffer out loud & with help, because even then, we can still become victims that did not make it through. Just like poor Diana Ellen 'Naomi' Judd & the like that die everyday with treatment-resistant depression.
      Finally, I cried for myself. Knowing what I am capable of & what I am not. I receive treatment for my Mental Illnesses. But still, I feel that blackness inside of me. Sometimes, it takes over & I feel a great loss of myself, my soul, & everything else that makes me... me.

      There are people who suffer from depression who do not respond to traditional treatment. They become frustrated about treatment because of their experiences. However, there are new treatments - not antidepressants - that might help. Be assertive with your provider and let them know you want results. Depression can lead to suicide. Take it seriously.

May you find comfort in knowing that she is safe with God and completely free of all disease! Her beautiful Spirit lives on! GOD BLESS THE ENTIRE JUDD FAMILY! Your millions of fans adore and treasure the beautiful music you made!💞

    This tragic end to such a beautiful woman hit a chord straight to my heart. About 10 years ago I struggles with suicidal thoughts and even planned it out but did not follow thru. When suicidal thoughts enter a person's mind they drown out every other thought of life, no matter how bad or how beautiful the person's life truly is. The pain and feeling like your at the bottom of the ocean struggling to make to the surface for air but it gets further and further away it seems. So I understand a bit about Naomi's fragile mind. And to the family she left behind I'm so sorry she couldn't hang on. I do not believe that suicide is selfish like a lot of people believe. I believe that people who have struggled with the thoughts and followed thru with the event are in such deep, debilitating pain that they just want it to stop. You can't escape your mind. And it's very, very hard to fight the enemy when the enemy is you. Naomi was beautiful. The Judd's were a part of my music I grew up with. They are part of my respect and admiration for country music. And I have loved watching Ashley's movies. She is such a talented actress. My heart goes out to both of them. And I hope and pray Ashley gets the help she needs after her trauma. May God's hand guide you to better truth and understanding. May God give you all peace in your hearts. Much love from Oklahoma❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You're not alone and never will be. Just call on the name of the Divine whenever the darkness threatens to overwhelm you. I promise you, you'll win the battle of the darkness for you have so much love to share with the world and so many lived experiences to share with others to aid them on their healing journeys.

It’s that love and the love of other family members, friends, and especially, the Lord, that will comfort you in the coming days.

I’ve been battling depression since I can remember, and Naomi’s passing seems to me like a nudge to get the help I need, whenever I’m in distress. I know now, that suffering in silence only helps to exacerbate the problem. It allows the disease to grow, and take a stronger hold on our already weary spirits.

    From people great and small, from all around the world, comments about the love and the loss of Naomi Judd is well deserved. I am a fellow Kentuckian. Naomi and I have several things in common. One has been mentioned. I graduated from Morehead State University with a masters degree in education with a minor in vocal performance. But the one experience that we have that I especially share with Naomi is that I also suffer from a mental illness known as Uni-polar disorder. My love for Naomi stems from the fact she was an honest mouthpiece for all who suffer with mental health issues. It's hard for people to understand if one doesn't have an oozing ailment or flesh eating bacteria...for many people seeing is believing. Naomi used her popularity and intellect in spreading the reality and the truth concerning this subject. With a lifetime of personal, physical, and emotional struggles Naomi never lost her purpose in life. She lost her life to a disease, but she never lost her purpose in life. You are sorely missed Naomi Judd. Rest in Power.

    I was so happy that she wrote her book about it and I really believed she had conquered the black hole! She helped so many people with her beautiful songs and her very presence! And she was such a good person!! I naively wish I could have somehow helped her to find a better treatment because I did! I can't shake this empty feeling of her absence!! I am so heartbroken realizing the depth of pain her precious family is going through!! 🌹💔😢

      @@GRANNY1201 You might be right. It is nearly impossible to build another person's self esteem - once it has been taken from them. She was interested, from a medical perspective about her mental illness, researched it, talked to doctors and tried her best to take the proper action to overcome it. She fought hard for the sake of her family and wanted to be able to help others. I have no doubt she did help others through her honesty and determination. I wish she could have received the help she needed. I have thought about this so much - which mystifies me since I had never listened to their music and had not known anything about them.

I truly admire Naomi for her honesty about mental health and her willingness to make it public and the need to talk about it and get the necessary help. My brother refused. He was in denial. Drugs were also a part of his life. My brother always seemed happy anytime he was around. We had no idea at the time he was suffering so much :( if only we could go back in time and help him. I know your road is going to be long and challenging but please take all the time you need and stick together with Larry and help each other thru this challenging time. We don’t have all the answers here on earth but God will help us thru our most difficult times. All we have to do is ask and not lean on our understanding but in all things trust in our Lord.
