The Oscar- and Grammy-winning performer made the remarks on a live episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" that aired Friday.
Hudson says she's "in a very good place," but didn't make a direct reference to the October slayings in Chicago of her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew.
Hudson performed her latest single, "If This Isn't Love."
She says accepting the Grammy from Whitney Houston "almost surpassed" winning the award for best R&B album.
