During a Wednesday episode of CNN's "All There Is With Anderson Cooper" podcast, Ashley Judd and the host both shared personal stories about grief.
Judd spoke candidly about the recent loss of her mother, Naomi Judd, who died in 2022 and how the death was “traumatic and unexpected because it was death by suicide, and I found her.” However, she also said she was "so glad" she had been present. "Even when I walked in that room and I saw that she had harmed herself, the first thing out of my mouth was, ‘Momma, I see how much you've been suffering and it is OK . . . I am here, and it is OK to let go.' "
