So shocked to hear of this today, yet a wake up call that mental health needs to be at the forefront of our collective awareness. My heart goes out to her daughters. This news is close to home as I often have suicidal ideations. I pray Naomi Judd is now at peace, a peace that was unattainable on this side of eternity. RIP.

The loss of Naomi has really upset me as well. I think especially because she was open about her mental health and she had family and professional help but she still could not be free of the darkness. I have struggled for many years.

Yes, I was so saddened when I read the news in my iPhone about Naomi Judd. She wrote that the source of her mental health issues, was being molested when she was 3 and had no one to reach out to. That is why it is so important for people with suicidal ideations to reach out to HU and call places such as Suide Prevention Hotline

Thank U so much for this important post.

I agree! Goes to show money, big house, fancy car, diamonds, & all that people go into debt for trying to "keep up with the Joneses" etc., doesn't make all things great if what's in your heart, soul & mind is dark & lonely. I have about had it with life & have suicidal ideation all the time but am waiting for my older husband to die 1st. He's the only person in my 57 yrs on this earth who's ever TRULY loved me unconditionally. I consider myself a good person who helps everyone I hear of who needs help & to look at my home, car, etc. you'd think I'd be happy. But we live so alone & both of us are disabled & no one ever truly helps! I've had enough of this world. I just refuse to hurt my husband like that. My brother committed suicide, I know what it does to those who really love you. I used to stay alive for my dogs, but my recent oh so sweet Shih Tzu who was my shadow & emotional support dog & my ONLY joy was brutally killed by 4 HUGE dogs when our back yard neighbor's son opened the gate. We'd helped these neighbors so much, & loved them all, & they said & did nothing! After a note I wrote them asking how they could be so cruel to say nothing, they drop off flowers w/a note "sorry for the loss of your PET." Pet? She was our family! She was so special & brought us so much love & joy & laughter, & stuck to me like glue...& had PTSD too & I was who she ran to when she was afraid & I'd hold her & she'd grab on to me for dear life, shaking so hard, & then if I was down she stayed right by me the entire time! All I can think of is how scared & in horrible pain she was when she died! I cannot get over it! She was to go gently in old age. NOT like this! She was our last dog. I won't have another sweet dog to keep me alive. I have no children & we've decided all we have will go to our favorite charity. I refuse to give it to those who say they love you but don't show it. Enough is enough. This world keeps getting worse & we've lost our country long, long ago. We were just too spoiled to know it. When you learn the truth about how our propoganda has mislead millions & elections have been stolen before, & the towers fell by controlled demolition, & those really are chemical trails not condensation from airplanes & oh, that's why we all are getting so forgetful & dementia's skyrocketing & trees & insects & birds are dying, & much more, there's nothing new under the sun. But the richest aren't worried, they have multi-million/billion dollar bunkers, oops I mean homes in the cities underground with incredibly fast trains going from 1 side of the country to the other...but not for us normal people, no we get to starve, & fight each other to survive as things just get worse. No joy & living in pain 24 years is enough for me. Nothing helps the pain, the depression, the ADD, the Fybromyalgia, the Severe PTSD, etc. I'm exhausted of just surviving 1 thing after another. Even my own dr. shook her head recently & said she can't believe all that keeps happening to me. It's been that way my entire life, cause molested children lose what normal children get to learn - a sense of safe boundaries. We don't even know what boundaries are til we've suffered so much by so many people it'd make most people throw up. I never got to have a career I loved, or my own family. Due to childhood sexual abuse & a ruined adulthood from more abuse (typical for kids who've been molested) & parents who shunned ME tho' THEY made me the mess I was (& shunned me right when I got my life together & gave my heart to the Lord, thinking "Christians" were the nicest people I'd ever met, yeah, those Christians who never help you or send you an encouragement card nor bring you their leftovers when you can't cook - unless you're part of their group - (so NOT like Jesus!) well, my attitudes changed on so-called Christians too. I'm tired all the time! I just want to sleep! So, I feel bad for Naomi Judd's daughters, but I am glad she finally has peace! I pray she's in Heaven & has forgotten all about this world, which is getting to be just like Hell more & more! I'm watching both parents dying from 2 different dementias & I refuse to get that old! I've seen too many elderly people lose their dignity! Nothing good about it! God bless Naomi! May she be where there are no more pain nor tears!
