Wynonna Judd is feeling all sorts of emotions amid her The Judds: The Final Tour following her mom Naomi Judd's tragic suicide.

Admitting that her current emotional state is "somewhere between hell and hallelujah" while appearing on the Monday, October 24, episode of Today, Wynonna told host Hoda Kotb, "These shows are healing me, one show at a time, and all my friends are coming."

As OK! reported, Naomi died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in April. She was 76 years old. The mother-daughter duo was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame just one day after her death.

Despite losing her mom, Wynonna decided to continue with their planned tour, insisting it is what Naomi would've wanted. The arena tour kicked off last month, with 15 new dates being added, along with star studded tributes from the likes of Brandi Carlile, Little Big Town, Martina McBride, Ashley McBryde and Kelsea Ballerini.

"I will cry and then go right into the next song," shared the "Tell Me Why" singer, revealing she keeps a box of tissues by her side at all times. "It's fun," Wynonna declared of this process, "I'm real and I'm broken and I'm blessed and I'm sassy and I'm crying and I'm snotting through the songs."

Aside from her music and fans, Wynonna said during her Monday appearance that it is her 6-month-old granddaughter, Kaliyah, who is keeping her grounded.

"She looks right through me. She gives me hope. ... They give you something to think about other than yourself," the red-headed singer said, before joking: "it's nice to be with her because she doesn't care what I look like."

Entertainment Tonight reported on Wynonna's Today appearance.
