Sister Wives star Janelle Brown is currently going through a difficult time after the tragic passing of her son, Garrison Brown. This devastating event has left her feeling out of sorts and profoundly affected. However, amidst her grief, Janelle has made a promise to herself. So, what exactly is happening with the former sister wife, and what is this promise she has made? Read on to find out.
Garrison Brown passed away in early March 2024 from an apparent gunshot wound, though the circumstances are still under investigation. Text messages exchanged between Garrison and his friends and family, including his mother Janelle Brown, have been released. It was evident that Janelle was aware of her son’s struggles, and he even mentioned her concerns about his mental health and the possibility of suicide. He also stated that he had given his firearms to his brother, Gabriel Brown, who would later discover him. Over a month has passed since the tragedy, and Janelle is still struggling immensely.
According to The Sun, Janelle spoke to the police about her son’s mental health, admitting that she should have sought help for Garrison in the past. As for her current state, an insider revealed that she is not doing well at all:
“Janelle is heartbroken. She’s completely devastated. She is privately grieving and mourning his loss, choosing not to share her struggles extensively with her fans. Janelle doesn’t have a large support network outside of her immediate family, so it’s great that her fans are offering their support. People are genuinely concerned about her. She is not herself, and it will undoubtedly take time for her to process and heal.”
In an attempt to regain control of the situation, Janelle Brown took matters into her own hands after photos and various images from Garrison’s military memorial service were leaked. She decided to share her own snapshots from the day, including the moment she received his flag.
Following Garrison Brown’s apparent suicide, Janelle Brown has made some solemn promises. Prioritizing her children has always been her focus, but it has become even more essential after the tragedy. An insider revealed, “She is dedicating more time to checking in with each of her kids as much as possible, physically and emotionally.” Janelle has been spending time in North Carolina with Maddie Brown Brush and her three children. She also shared a special moment with her son Logan Brown and his wife, Michelle Petty, during the eclipse. Kody Brown, Janelle’s estranged husband, is also struggling with the loss of Garrison, which has put a strain on their marriage.
