He has asked for the public to respect his family&#8217;s privacy.<\/p>\n<p>I, too, am shocked and saddened to hear of Naomi Judd&#8217;s death. I am not a huge fan of The Judds, the name of her twosome with her daughter Wynona. However, I grieve for them and for the terrible loss they have suffered.<\/p>\n<p>My point is simply this: I believe the family of someone who built a huge career and following from an adoring public should be a bit more forthcoming on the circumstances of that superstar&#8217;s death.<\/p>\n<p>You have asked the same questions as I have been asking since I heard the terrible news. What precisely took this woman from the public entertained? How does &#8220;mental illness&#8221; produce a physical malady that can prove fatal?<\/p>\n<p>I also am quite certain that some reporter eventually is going to learn the details of what happened over the weekend and will reveal it to the world.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t pose this inquiry out of malice. Or out of morbid curiosity. Indeed, additional information about the illness that claimed the life of a genuine music superstar &#8212; and well-established public figure &#8212; could produce what they call a &#8220;teachable moment&#8221; for those who are suffering from mental illness.<\/p>\n<p>That all said, I am now going to pray privately for the family Naomi Judd leaves behind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, let&#8217;s see where we stand with this tragic mystery.
