Wynonna Judd Shares Journey Of Grief In Intimate Documentary - Movies

Psalm 62:8 says, “Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.” Wynonna Judd shares her journey of grief in this intimate documentary. Wynonna and her sister Ashley lost their country star mother, Naomi, at the age of 76. She passed on April 30, 2022. 

Wynonna was in the habit of visiting her mom and dad on a daily basis. Sadly, Wynonna is now on a healing journey between grief and trauma because she was the one who discovered her mother after she passed. 

Now, Wynonna is thinking about the tour they initially planned together. Not only was she grieving the loss of her mother and how she passed, but Wynonna also had to think about her mother’s legacy and their tour. 

Her husband encouraged her to consider going back on tour and told her she deserved to celebrate the legacy of her mother. When she began planning the tour, she tentatively reached out to a few of her country friends like Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Brandi Carlile, Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, Trisha Yearwood, and Ashley McBryde. Her friends were quick to say yes. They were more than willing to give their time and talent to support Wynonna in her darkest hour and help celebrate the memory of Naomi, who created a platform for women in the world of country music. 

“Here's what I know about grief it hits in waves, and you just don't know when it's going to happen, Wynonna said. The documentary “Wynonna Judd: Between Hell and Hallelujah,” was released via Paramount Pictures and follows Wynonna’s journey of healing, perseverance, and what it means to have support from others in the face of tragedy. 

This documentary will offer viewers moving and intimate footage of Wynonna trusting in the Lord and with her friends as she honors her mother and processes her grief. 

“Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.  Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.” Psalms 62:6-8.
