Recently, legendary country singer Naomi Judd's daughter Ashley Judd spoke candidly about the awful events that took place when she discovered her mother following her suicide in April.
All she wanted to do was console her mother, but police officers started questioning her and kept her away from Naomi in the final minutes of her life, leaving her feeling "cornered and powerless."
I tried to reassure her that she would soon see her father and younger brother when she "went away home," as we say in the Appalachian region, said Judd.
Instead, without being given the opportunity to choose when, when, or how to participate, I started a series of interviews that I felt were forced upon me and kept me from witnessing the beautiful end of my mother's life.
