Naomi Judd’s daughter Ashley calls for changes to laws around bereaved families after mother’s death
Ashley Judd has said that having her mother Naomi’s suicide play out in public caused her “trauma” and “horror”.
Ashley said that her mother had died by suicide and urged people to reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8255).
She said that her family had agreed she should discuss her mother’s death to help raise awareness of the cause, and the availability of help.
Ashley said
Naomi lost a long battle against an unrelenting foe that in the end was too powerful to be defeated.
She added "I could not help her. I can, however, do something about how she is remembered."
Ashley said that she wants laws to be changed to “provide some basic protections for those involved in the police response to mental health emergencies”.
“Those emergencies are tragedies, not grist for public spectacle,” she wrote.
