“So reaching out is absolutely key, and I’m better at it today than I was because I come from the martyr background of ‘I’m going to be fine.’ And I don’t agree with that anymore.
“I do things that make me feel alive a lot of the time, and then I’ll call my grief counselor and say, ‘I’m really struggling today to understand how she could leave me knowing this tour is happening and she’s not here to help me with this tour.’ And we’ll talk about that,” said Judd. That includes sitting with her pet pigs and more than two dozen cats that live with her. In the months since her mother’s death, Wynonna Judd has been reaching out and seeking help, but also giving herself time to be alone with her grief. And even through our dysfunction, there is a sense of unity from two very different women.” And they believe us when we sing it together because we’re mother and daughter. ‘ Love Can Build a Bridge ’ reminds us that love can build a bridge. ”I find myself going back to the past because we want something that reminds us that there’s still hope. I think they want something that they can remember,” said Wynonna Judd. Wynonna Judd said fans have grown nostalgic for music that gives them fond memories. But in recent years, recognition of their impact has grown, culminating with their induction this year into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, the duo’s career was shortened when Naomi Judd retired in the early ‘90s due to her contracting Hepatitis C. I was 17 and a half when we signed with RCA. And when you’re that new to the scene and you’re that naïve, I think they saw the vulnerability in me. “And I think they got to know us when we were the most raw. “Before hair extensions and veneers and shiny pretty clothes that are new, we were two girls from eastern Kentucky who did not have a clue about anything show business,” said Wynonna Judd. Their debut in the early ‘80s with Grammy-winning songs like “ Mama, He’s Crazy ” and “Why Not Me” turned their lives around in a heartbeat and fans identified with their down-home charm and rootsy background. “And that redemption narrative is strong for us.” “We had a beautiful time together and as I was able to say to her at the end, all is forgiven a long time ago,” said Judd. And for all the time that she and I missed while I was growing up, we had the gift of so much time together in these subsequent 17 years,” Judd said.Īfter Ashley Judd shattered her leg hiking in a Congolese rainfores t last year, her mother was by her side for numerous medical appointments, as well as joining her at a cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains after Judd recovered. “Mom and I had a pretty glorious redo starting in 2006 when I was given the gift of coming into recovery.
While the mother-daughter relationship was difficult because of The Judds’ success and constant touring, Ashley Judd said in later years, they repaired the bond between them. And she had no compunction about reducing stigma and shame.” She wanted to help ameliorate and alleviate the suffering of the folks who also walked with mental illness. And yet it was very important for her to do the advocacy that she could. “So she had to be very cautious with herself in terms of stepping into certain traumatic spaces. And so one of the phrases that we used with each other is you can’t unsee what you’ve seen,” said Judd. But Judd said they both knew how trauma could affect their own mental health.
