Judd opened up about her feelings after losing her mum in her first TV interview with 'CBS Sunday Morning' in September.

Wynonna Judd is addressing fans who've shown concern for the country music star as she continues to mourn her mum, Naomi Judd.

The Judd matriarch, a Grammy Award-winning singer who performed with Wynonna as half of the mother-daughter duo The Judds, died in April.

Wynonna and her sister, actress Ashley Judd, announced their mother's death on social media, writing, "We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness."

Since the death of her mother, Judd has continued to perform, participated in interviews and toured in several cities, leading fans to question if the singer's management has been pushing her "too hard" during this tough time.

The singer posted a video on Instagram on Jan 2 discussing those concerns.

"I have heard some of the comments, and the first thought I had was opinions and buttholes," Judd said. "And then I realised people are genuinely concerned, so I want to respond to that piece. I am working so hard on my mental, physical and spiritual well being. I have a great team. And I'm really blessed."

Judd said that while she's blessed and has been working on her health, she's also "broken" but that she's working "really hard" on self-care, which she considers "sacred."

"I have a very full schedule but I also have time off to be on the farm and to walk in the woods and take the dogs (out)," she said. "So I'm OK."

Judd opened up about her feelings after losing her mum in her first TV interview with CBS Sunday Morning in September, telling correspondent Lee Cowan she feels "incredibly angry" about her mother's suicide.

"I did not know that she was at the place she was at when she ended it. Because she had had episodes before and she got better," Judd said. "And that's what I live in, is like, 'Was there anything I should have looked for or should I have known?' I didn't."

Judd plans to keep performing as she announced in December the 2023 dates for The Judds: The Final Tour, which stops throughout January and February with special guest Martina McBride. – USA Today/Tribune News Service
