“She and My Mother Have Now Met” – GMA Host Robin Roberts Moves Viewers to Tears with Sad News about Naomi Judd – Naomi’s 2 Daughters Reveal the Painful Truth behind their Mother’s D3ath”

Robin Roberts teared up on Good Morning America remembering Naomi Judd, who passed at 76

.

“Ment4l illn3ss is an illn3ss,” said Roberts, recalling how Naomi and her daughter Wynonna (Wy) reached out after Roberts’ mother Lucimarian died in 2012. “She was so kind… Wy too… They thought of me, and it meant so much.”

Roberts shared on Instagram: “H3art-wrenching hearing about #NaomiJudd. Forever grateful for time at her TN home, and won’t forget what she said about telling the truth on d3pression and anxi3ty.”

In 2016, Naomi opened up about severe, treatment-r3sistant d3pression to Roberts. “It felt like if I live through this, someone could see they can survive too.”

She said: “They see me shining on stage, but at home I wouldn’t leave my room for three weeks, stayed in pajamas, skipped hygiene… It was really bad.”

Naomi and Wynonna had a str4ined bond then, but Naomi hoped: “I love her, but sometimes we need space. I hope Wy sees this and says ‘Good for you Mom, finally willing to talk about the bad stuff.’”

After Naomi’s p4ssing, daughters Wynonna and Ashley Judd said: “We lost our mother to the disease of m3ntal illn3ss. We are shatt3red, in unknown territory.”
