Tragically, Naomi's death happened by suicide two years ago after she battled with mental health issues. The late mother of two passed at 76 years old.

After the "Double Jeopardy" star spoke about the difference between trauma and grief, Anderson brought up Naomi. He asked Ashley, who had been the one to find the late singer after the suicide, about her grief as it relates to losing her mom.

While explaining the trauma she went through, Ashley divulged: "The first thing out of my mouth was, 'mama, I see how much you've been suffering.' " She went on to say: "It is okay to go, I am here. It's ok to let go. I love you. Go see your daddy. Go see Papa Judd. Go be with your people."

Ashley said she then got into bed with her mom and simply held her as she told her that it was ok to be free. She also forgave Naomi and urged her to be unburdened as she left the world.
