Singer Wynonna Judd believes the show must go on, even without her mother, Naomi Judd, there to support her.
Earlier this year, the “Love Can Build a Bridge” singer took her own life after opening up about her struggle with depression for years. The news shocked and saddened the country music community, and especially his daughters, Wynonna and Ashley Judd.
Wynonna and Naomi form the country music duo known as The Judds and are due to embark on a final reunion tour later this year. Wynonna made the difficult decision to continue the tour, even without her late mother.

In a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Wynonna told reporter Lee Cowan how she felt compelled to continue the tour to honor her late mother.
“I think it’s important to do it if it makes sense. I feel like I have my marching orders,” he said during the seven-minute interview. “I want to go out on stage and sing from my toenails a song that helps someone in the audience. It’s about me singing to help someone feel better. That has always been in my spirit.”
Just a month after her death, at a CMT special honoring her late mother, Wynonna first announced that the tour would go ahead as planned because she felt it was what her mother would have wanted.
“The show must go on, as hard as it can be, and we’re going to show up together, and you’re going to carry me like you’ve carried me for 38 years,” he said at the time. “That’s what he wants, right?”

While the family has had different ways of dealing with the loss of Naomi Judd, Wynonna said they are all relying on each other for support during this difficult time.
“We both looked at each other, like, ‘I got you,’ right? And we looked at each other and we said, ‘Yes,'” he said, adding that he and Ashley mourned in “different” ways.
“Every member of the family can agree with me on this,” he said, adding, “We are all very different in this family.”
Wynonna also talks about the various memories that come up when she tries to remember her mother. “Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I say, ‘I miss you so much. Why aren’t you here so we can fight?’” Wynonna recalled. “He told me one time, he held my hand and he said, ‘My life is better because of you.’ Those were the memories that started to come more and more.

In another interview with PEOPLE magazine, Wynonna said that she feels like a “walking contradiction” when she tries to reflect on the loss of her mother.
“I will tell you what I know about death. In death, there is life. I think both at the same time simultaneously,” he said. “I feel happy and sad. I walk in a paradox. I’m really conflicted running. I feel happy. I feel sick. I feel light. I feel dark.”
“I was talking on the phone and suddenly I would start crying. Then 10 minutes later, I was making dinner and I was talking to my husband about our date night,” she admitted. “Then my granddaughter came and I cried again. I cried a lot.”
However, she said that all her tears were not “a sign of weakness” and assured her followers that it’s okay to cry over the loss of a loved one. “When you lose someone you love, it’s like, ‘Holy shit, this is really happening. Is this really happening?’ Your brain says, ‘No, this isn’t really happening,'” she said. “Then you come home and I realize, yeah, my mom’s not here anymore.”
