“Checking in. There is so much happening in the world right now,” the singer began the caption of her post, alongside an image of herself performing.
Noting that she had trouble coming up with the words to share, Wynonna wrote, “Before I sat down to write this, I thought, ‘No…I just don’t know what to say.’ Then, I heard the words from my life coach asking me, ‘What do you know?’ And I began to cry.”
“WHAT DO I KNOW??” she continued. “I DO know, that the pain of losing Mom on 4/30 to suicide is so great, that I often feel like I’m not ever going to be able to fully accept and surrender to the truth that she left the way she did. This cannot be how The Judds story ends.💔.”

“I know that it is a simple steps program, and those steps are not easy to take at times,” she explained.

“I DO know, that I feel so helpless—right now especially,” Wynonna shared. “I DO know, that as corny as it sounds, ‘Love Can Build A Bridge.’ I find myself humming the song that Mom wrote for the fans, to myself here on the farm at night.”
