Loretta Lynn News

IN 1984, LORETTA LYNN WAS ON TOUR WHEN HER OLDEST SON DROWNED IN THE RIVER BEHIND HER HOUSE. SHE COLLAPSED UNCONSCIOUS BEFORE ANYONE COULD TELL HER. HER HUSBAND HAD TO FLY 600 MILES TO DELIVER THE NEWS IN PERSON. “He was her favorite. She never said it out loud.

She’d had them since 17, bad enough to make her pull out her own hair, bad enough that one night the pain had pushed her close to taking her own life. After Jack Benny, the headaches stopped feeling like an illness. They started feeling like grief with nowhere to go. She kept performing. She kept writing. She buried her daughter Betty Sue years later, then her grandson, then Doolittle himself. But Loretta never talked much about that hospital room in Illinois. About what it felt like to wake up not knowing your son was already gone. About the days between collapsing on stage and finding out why. Those closest to her always wondered what part of her stayed behind in that river…
