“Give your self a break today because we’re doing the best we can with what we have.” - Wynonna Judd

[@newfiegal1898]

Truest words ever .

[@carolmanning1333]

Wynonna doesn't have the 25 million. Lucky Larry is doing well!

[@lindawright7531]

Omg I love Wynonna. She is just the very best and I have always admired her .

[@elainepohl6529]

I and my family will never forget while attending a show back in the 80’s, my little daughter was taken up on stage with THE JUDDS. She loved them and their songs so much, that her friends starting calling her “judds “. And may I add she still loves their music.

[@carolynlowery983]

You are an amazing woman Wyonna Judd! When you walk out on stage,you put out so much love I feel it all through my body and I know

[@oneseeker2]

In this moment, she has the most beautiful voice, ever! Her voice...

[@PorcelainLeigh]

@ashley1994 Beauty is in the eye and ear of whoever is listening, all art is relative. And no one gives a toss about your negativity, or opinions. Deal with it.

[@daisy-wy2me]

LOL okayyyyyy@ashley1994

[@debbiebramwell]

She is a one of a kind. I agree. She is one of the best! Love her!

[@jillstark3432]

Wynonna i’ve been listening to your music since I was in my 30s and I’m 65 now and I still pick up my guitar and sing your songs people love it. You have been such an inspiration you and your mom. The harmonies are so beautiful I cannot even distinguish what your mother is singing. I just hear how it blends amazingly, you have a gift you’re a light to this world you and your mom singing together a light to this world and I forever will be grateful for you and your mom’s beautiful music. It’s helped me through a lot of times.

[@atticuswatts1883]

Give it up For Country Music Legend Miss Wynonna JUUUUUUDD!!!!!!! We love you Miss Judd.

[@samkr23]

AMEN!!!!

[@deelopez4609]

“After someone goes, the bad stuff goes away”. So much truth. After my mother passed, the bad have become replaced by the good.

[@marthahalsey-on4bn]

She needs to face how she treated her mother.

[@deelopez4609]

@@marthahalsey-on4bn that’s between her and God. I think she will sort that out and ultimately find peace.

[@carriesmith7460]

When I hear Wynonna sing in this farewell tour, especially when she sings the most icon songs like Why Not Me, I can still see Naomi dancing up there on that stage in her bright red dress and smiling that beautiful smile.

[@sunshine8711]

Wynonna is so real. She is the epitome of what you want to see in music and show biz!

[@christyeckert3115]

Love Wynonna. I met her and her mom years ago they were so nice.

[@ellenkincaid8434]

I love you Wynonna, your mom is with you and will always be there in spirit, she's pushing you to go on

[@marthahalsey-on4bn]

Her mother went to her grave with her feelings, hurt by Wynonna

[@franelliott8561]

Your an inspiration WY. I'm taking care of my mama and its so hard. Love Naomi so much and your so strong as well as Ashley. Man Wy would be such an awesome friend . God bless Pop and the whole Judd family. Hope I can afford tickets she is coming to Kansas City. I pray 🙏 I can be there. Be a dream come true for sure. I will definitely cry when she sings love can build a bridge my favorite totally. Have it tattooed on me for God sakes. Now I just need her autograph by it. That would be a miracle!!!!

[@donn6908]

[@hisforever4937]

Giving myself a break Wynonna. Thank you😢❤

[@julieowen3856]

Prayers to you and your beautiful sister Ashley!! I lost my mom when I was 11 and she was my world!!! I am still struggling to carry on! MAd love and hats off to all moms!! I have always loved all three of you and the gift you bring to the world!!!

[@dianacrow7509]

So real, no animation, just genuine in expression of soul. I admire you & your family; you've proven yourselves a true blessing. Loss of our maternal parent and/or paternal parent can be devastating; yet you seem to know in your hearts it is but the circle of life. With acceptance & mindfulness you release the message by example the true meaning of love; the good, the bad & the ugly. I am so very grateful for your existence. A little tale of my last words to my Mamma...while swabbing her beautiful lips on her last breath..." I love you & I promise I'll be good!" She must have heard that before...her eyes darted up at me as if her past had come back to life. Five years have past w/my best friend absent physically, yet ever present everyday. You've enlightened this "vintage" soul for many years. I thank you gratefully 🙏 (Hug my adopted Bubba, "Cacti ", please?) Om 🕉

[@tinasmallwood9546]

I'm glad she has millions of people who care about her and the family. In times of sorrow they are the ones who give you a reason to carry on.

[@wyfan1975]

Love you Wynonna..love and prayers ❤️

[@breezyvibe]

I am glad she's doing great. I miss her mom.

[@samkr23]

Love ya Wy and your voice is amazing♥️

[@erinbedard6374]

I love her and her mom so sorry what you and your are family are dealing with.

[@erinbedard6374]

@Marcos Bryant I love there music and there voices and how friendly they are and how Wynonnas sister is such a talented actress.

[@christiarmstrong8930]

I adore WY so much

[@mamawfrancy]

Don't know if Wy ever sees our comments but she's so right about how happy we are that's she's in a better place. I pray that she continues to stay close to sis Ashley. ❤ U Wy & Ashley.

[@life-mm5do]

I understand her grief, losing a loved one from a suicide. She is feeling abandoned and now an orphan because of the way her mother died. God bless!

[@marthahalsey-on4bn]

She should have treated her mother better. Naomi did the best she could to raise her.

[@-greentoad]

​@@marthahalsey-on4bn Both of them didn't exactly treat each other the best at times. And Naomi was always at her to lose weight. But it went both ways, yet they had a deep love for each other.

[@marthahalsey-on4bn]

She treated her mother terribly watch those episodes of them to on the road together. She would be nowhere without her mother. Her mom left a note that she did not want Wynonna at her funeral that Wynonna was mentally ill.

[@marthahalsey-on4bn]

@@-greentoad that’s because Naomi wanted her daughter to be healthy and not pitch over of a heart attack. I would encourage her to lose weight too my God she has the most beautiful face.

[@-greentoad]

@@marthahalsey-on4bn She just didn't encourage her to lose weight. She was down right rude and mean about it for years causing Wy to have a lower self esteem. And some of it was about appearance as they performed so much, and yes some about health.

[@melindasharpehart6093]

The Judds were my Mom's and my favorite duo. Ironically the week after Wynonna's mom passed, my Mom passed away. Wynonna you have my complete sympathy and understanding. Like you, my Mom and I did everything together.

[@joannabrower9948]

I'm so sorry for your loss, may God watch over you and keep you in his loving touch. Im still struggling with the loss of my mom and it's been 5! Yrs but she was all I had

[@lmc2375]

There's only one thing greater when looking for love, acceptance, healing from others, and that is finding it within yourself - this is where your strength in fact is. Never give so much away that you have no reserve left for that of self. You will regret it. 🙏💖💫🌎

[@staceycoiner5231]

Love you so much WY! Prayers to you and your whole family! Just seen you in Moline and Amazing!!! Love you!!! Grew up singing your music The Judds with my baby sister and it couldn't have been a better way to see the concert but with her.

[@caseymorrison5651]

So glad you’re back ❤❤❤ You have a great support system , PRICELESS! My family didn’t know the difference between needing a mental break and laziness. I’m over 50 and I chose to consider it giving myself a break instead of the derogatory lazy.
