So how does Wynonna feel about her mom’s death? She’s angry.
“Incredibly angry,” Wynonna said, adding that the feeling doesn’t go away. But, she says she feels her mom “nudging” her, a feeling that sometimes makes her laugh, and other times makes her say, “I really miss you. Why aren’t you here so we can argue.”
The 58-year-old singer added that the good memories are coming to the forefront of her mind more and more as time passes. “I think when you lose your mother a lot of that crap goes away because it doesn’t matter any more.”
The Judds: The Final Tour was announced just weeks before Naomi took her own life. In honor of her mom, Wynonna chose to embark on the tour alone, a move that she hopes will be therapeutic for her.
“I think it’s important to do it,” Wynonna said. “I feel like I have my marching orders.”
The singer fought back tears as she thought about what it will be like to be on tour without Naomi. “As I walk out on stage that first night, I’ll probably say something like, ‘It’s not supposed to be like this.’ Because it’s not, right? It’s supposed to be the two of us. And I’m gonna be angry because she’s not there.”
