Naomi Judd Dead At 76

Ranched · Apr 30, 2022

Mental Illness is an unstoppable disease. Ironically, The Judds are to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame tomorrow, Sunday May 1st..

Just saw this on my Bing news feed. So sad.

The article went on to say that they were supposed to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame tomorrow. They were set to announce a Fall arena tour, their first tour in over a decade.

How very sad, was going to get inducted later today and were planning a fall tour. RIP.

There is no substitute for Mental Health. Whether you're poor, or rich, or somewhere in between...

They may cancel to a later time. Which they should.

Does this mean it was suicide?

It looks like it. It's a shame when mental illness gets so bad that someone feels that suicide is the option to take to escape it.

I don't know about that. If you KNOW your mind is going do you really want to hang around to see how bad it can get?

The statement from her daughters sort of imply one thing though.

Well, that's possible. If it was s/t else... what's generally said in a statement is s/t along the lines of "after a long fight with.........., (person) died today..."

People Mag has said "Naomi Judd, the conic country star and one-half of the mother-daughter duo The Judds, took her own life on Saturday following a longtime battle with mental illness at 76 years old, multiple sources confirm. A rep for the late singer hasn't commented."

Still not saying how, though.

Yep, very sad. Condolences to the family.

"Took her life" means emphatically "Suicide." Does the method of suicide really matter? She lost her battle with mental illness. It's sad. Who cares how she did it, only that she did it?

CouchCoach · May 3, 2022

It looks like she had been fighting depression most of her life and finally gave into the only way she saw out of it. The fact she did it right before she was to be inducted into the Country Music HOF is significant. As many of the name celebrities seem to choose that point in which most of us would feel we have arrived.

She was being inducted and planning a tour and must have felt if that can break this curse, what can? Is this all there is?

Unfortunately, mental illness is not treated as a disease by the masses because unless they've felt it, can't understand what it is. And it seems to me that the more we make technological progress and move forward, the more we leave those fighting this behind.

Very sad for her daughters and family as they can't escape the feeling they could have done something. On the other side of that is the fact she lived with this her whole life and lasted until she was 76. Some things in life have a rather convoluted way of being grateful.

Saw her on Fox and Friends many times…..a cool lady

Apparent suicide according to the family.

Sad. Very sad.

Here's someone who had it all (how often have we seen this sort of thing?)...

-Fame
-Fortune
-Looks

And none of that mattered.

Happens more often than you think.

Maybe not to the degree of suicide but an unhappy life nonetheless.
