The new season of Sister Wives brings a heavy dose of emotion, as viewers are set to witness the aftermath of a deep family tragedy.
Janelle Brown, one of the wives on the show, is still mourning the heartbreaking loss of her son Garrison, who passed away six months earlier. The reality star has shared her grief openly with fans on social media, posting a touching tribute to her son, which stirred a wave of support from the show’s followers.
In her tribute, Janelle posted a picture of herself and Garrison. He is seen giving her a loving kiss on the cheek, and though Janelle manages a smile, the deep sorrow she feels is clear.
In the caption, she writes about how she still thinks of him every day, how sometimes it feels like he’s still there, but then she remembers he’s really gone. Her words reflect the immense pain of losing a child, and her longing to see him again one day.
Fans have responded with love and kindness, offering their condolences and sharing words of comfort. Many express admiration for the close relationship Janelle and Garrison had, as seen on the show. Some fans acknowledge how lucky Garrison was to have a mother like Janelle, while others talk about the difficulty she must face each day.
The support has been a source of strength for Janelle during such a painful time. Garrison’s death was revealed to have been a tragic suicide. He was found by his brother Gabriel in his home in Flagstaff, Arizona. The medical examiner later confirmed that Garrison died from a gunshot wound, with alcohol intoxication being a contributing factor.
His blood alcohol level was dangerously high, further adding to the sorrow surrounding his passing. The discovery of Garrison’s body was an incredibly traumatic event for Gabriel and the rest of the family.
Janelle and her husband Kody Brown released a statement expressing their deep sadness and the overwhelming grief that came with losing Garrison.
They asked for privacy as they navigated this difficult time and thanked those who offered their support. Garrison, like his many siblings, had been a familiar face to fans of Sister Wives, having appeared on the reality show since 2010.
