Ashley Judd is opening up about one of the most traumatic things a human can experience during their lifetime.
It’s hard to believe that this April will mark the two-year anniversary of country legend Naomi Judd’s death. We were all left in shock when it happened, but no one more than her youngest daughter Ashley. Soon after her passing, the She Said actress revealed to Diane Sawyer that she was the one to find her late mother, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. And now, she’s opening up more about that devastating moment.

In an interview with Anderson Cooper for his All There Is podcast, the 55-year-old gave listeners insight into what that horrific moment was like:
She continued:
How scarring. But Ashley says that she was “glad” to have discovered her mother when she did, because she actually got to say a few final words to her:
Anderson asked, “And she heard you?” to which the High Crimes star responded:
How emotional that must have been… We can’t even begin to imagine. She’s so strong for being able to keep a level head and help provide her mother a gentle final few moments.
Anderson shared that he, too, has been affected by suicide as his late brother Carter died by suicide 35 years ago at just 23 years old. Such the emotional conversation! Watch for yourself (below):
Our hearts continue to be with Ashley, her sister Wynonna, and Naomi’s surviving husband, Larry Strickland.
