It’s very hard to be wealthy and famous- everyone wants it but it destroys people.

Nicki Swift gives dignity to the passing of Naomi Judd & other public figures. Thank you for the way you handle the hardest of news.

Bipolar Depression is crippling. Since I was diagnosed my life has never been the same and it's a struggle to even get out of bed some days. Even with medication, there is still a rollercoaster in your brain -- a cloud that always follows you wherever you go, and all the money in the world can not cure the despair you feel. When you have suicid*l idealizations your brain chemistry tricks you into thinking that ending your life is the best way to end the pain you suffering. The meds used to treat Bipolar Depression sometimes diminish your creativity and do cause many side effects, but for me, the pros outweigh the cons, and stopping medication would be a very dangerous decision. It's important to have a good support system around you to be there and even help you work through problems. I truly hope leaving her daughters out of the will did not come from a depressive episode or just a decision she intentionally made out of anger and that there is some other positive arrangement that we the public don't know about. Mama Judd is greatly missed and growing up in the 80's I find many of The Judds songs comforting. They bring back good memories of my childhood. RIP Mama Judd.

So much for respecting the family's wishes and not talking about their mother. It was a simple request.

Rest in peace Naomi Judd, condolences to family and specially, Ashley Judd.

People need to be more supportive and talk to others and understand

[christinedelcolle]

She had to be I so much pain, no one should judge. She is in the best hands possible and she is young and healthy.

She was/is an amazing lady. She’ll definitely always be loved.

Why can’t the news media get it right when they talk about the executor of the will versus an individual being included as a benefit in the will?? For crying out loud - hire a legal expert to help you next time you write pieces like this.

[ednaatluxton]

Executor hands out the estate and recieve money to do it. They don't inherit the estate. It's a duty, a job. People are so stupid mixing up executor with inheritor. The will hasn't left probate yet so the gossip is by stupid people who have no clue what executor means. When it leaves probate and it's read then maybe just maybe if the inheritors see fit the public will know who inherits the money.

She did suffer. She lived old. She's at rest. Let her rest

My heart is so grieved by the death of our dear dear Naomi Judd. Believe it or not I understand exactly how she felt. I have suffered with deep deep depression since I was a child. I was abused physically and emotionally and then when I got married the same thing continued physical and emotional abuse and every time my husband touched me I felt like I was being raped because he forced himself for me. I’m struggling right now wondering whether or not to continue on so I know the thoughts that she had to of had my heart goes out to her and it goes out to the family the only reason why I haven’t done it already is because of my son and my grandchildren I don’t want to put them through that but I’m so tired I’m worn out. I’ll be praying for you guys I’m so sorry you’re going through this blessings in the powerful name of Jesus Christ amen and amen. If it hadn’t been for Jesus Christ I would’ve died a long time ago. He’s another reason why I haven’t stepped over.
🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️👑👑👑💝💝💝

Being a survivor of a mother’s death and a horrible bipolar condition I can honestly say that Naomi did her girls a favor by leaving the will and estate in Larry’s Hands, The media is making a big deal about this but to be honest with you it protects Ashley and Wynonna from fighting like cats and dogs over stupid money
