Sister Wives: Garrison Brown's Sister Shares New Details of His Death

[@zanelemofikoe4800]

Janelle really chose her kids, for her to recognize the pain her son is dealing with and make the choice to move to be closer to her kids for their well being is amazing. 💕 💕

[@lorig7077]

Janelle is a great person. She deserves all the best in the world. Truly amazing woman.

[@Mammaj1963]

Maddie is an incredible human being, no truer words have ever been spoken. RIP Garrison

[@marycoleman1821]

So sorry for your loss Maddie. Condolences to your mom and siblings. Also to Christine and her children. Hugs and prayers from Ireland ❤❤

[@ndileka216]

Garrison's death still makes me sad.💔 Janelle is a good mother to her kids and was to Garrison as well. ❤

[@candythomas655]

It's very Sad😢25 years old just a Baby

[@Duckduckobtusegoose]

Anybody who struggles with severe mental health issues that started during adolescence and continued to worsen into adulthood can relate to Garrison. It could’ve been me, at any point in the last 10yrs(im 25 too). I’ve always had love and support, but in those moments when you feel so low, all of that is clouded over with the idea of wanting to die. He tried so hard to live and to be happy, all it takes is a moment for the decision to be made and worked out. Most people who contemplate suicide are “the happiest they have ever seemed” the week or so prior to committing. It’s because the weight and burdens of living life have finally lifted, you feel at peace for the first time. I’m so sorry to his family for this incredible loss.

[@monicaoberholzer]

Mental health is massively escalated when the family life breaks down and there is animosity towards the person who was clearly and irrevocably the catalyst for the family's demise. Garrison had a very strong dislike for Robyn, and was angry and hurt that his father shunned them in favour of Robyn and her kids.

[@purplequeen1727]

Anyone at anytime can develop an mental illness or it can get worse. Many of us have neglect, trauma, addictions, AND mental illness and do not die by suicide. It is no one's fault, period! Also, it IS just down to "mental illness" and/or alcohol in his case. So tired of watching the world blame everyone except the person and/or illness who made the choice. It is terribly sad but it is not the families fault. Not Kody, not Robin. No one.

[@monicaoberholzer]

When someone struggles with depression, any extra stress factor can escalate the depression into manic depression. People that added greatly to this young man's stress factor were Robyn and Kody 😡😡

[@angel467]

Yup the 1 who tells the truth no one in family wants to hear.

Heartbreaking💔

[@candikildow2643]

Maddie, THANK YOU for speaking out on mental health. It MUST come out of the shame and shadows and talked about!! I know a few mental health workers, and said since Garrison’s death, some young adults are now coming forward to seek help saying specifically that Garrison’s suicide made it possible for them to come forward. I am sorry for your devastating loss, but I think Garrison has brought the courage to be willing to seek mental health to possibly thousands across the country. A soldier’s duty is to help and protect-he sure has done that! ❤️

[@MsXtineAz]

My heart goes out to the Brown Family. Rest in Peace, Garrison 💜💜💜

[@ilikeyoutube836]

I'm so sorry

[@donnawiley4712]

I’m so sorry Maddie, to both you and your family, for the terrible loss of Garrison!! I have watched every episode of your show and totally understand, as a mom, how he felt in his changing relationship with your father. My children’s father and I divorced and he has a relationship with our daughter but has forgotten about his only son. My son feels broken, so I understand how Garrison handled this and how much he needed his father. I, myself, have dealt with the feelings of depression and my son and I have both, separately, have attempted suicide. We are both still here, but those feelings never go away. You’re so right when you say Mental Health needs to be talked about more often and Suicide needs to be discussed more often than it is. It really is more commonly thought about everyday than most people believe, but never want to admit!! It needs to be a bigger subject! Maybe, because of Garrison, regrettably, something good can come from it and TLC can use their platform to advertise a campaign, not just a memo, about preventing Suicide!! He was too young for others not to notice something! When I heard his roommates heard a sound but didn’t check on him, I was stunned! I’ll keep praying for you and your family, as well as TLC, in hopes they can make a campaign in the name of Garrison and hopefully it’ll save other young adults his age from feeling like they have no one to talk to!! In Christ’s Love, Donna L Wiley

His “father” is to blame for this. His selfish needs always came before his family.

[@dawnortz4820]

I’m so sorry his dad was such a freaking selfish narcissist, and he didn’t have somebody that could support and stand by him as a man his mom could only do as much as she could do. Love and respect to the family. Rest in peace Garrison fly with the angels.❤

[@valerierobertson3004]

Having lost a son to suicide, I wish to send a big hug to everyone in the Brown family. They need space to breathe through this next year. You cannot understand what it is like emotionally for a family to lose someone. There is a long rotating time of self blame, anger and a desire to find reasons for what happened. There is nothing you can do about it except to breathe deeply, find common ground and for the public leave them all the hell alone and let them work through this tough time as a family. Their public personae has nothing to do with this. They need to drop the bs and remember what a family is and get on with their lives. Stop reflecting on his death please, its their business and no one elses.

[@TraciBramlett]

I’m so sorry for yours and your families loss. You will all be in my prayers. Thank you for talking about mental illness. I suffer from depression and other mental health issues. It is great to hear that people want to talk about it and try to understand it. So many people don’t understand it. I have lost friendships over their not understanding depression. Please continue to speak out. Thank you. ❤

[@antsy8994]

This is heartbreaking. Of course I didn’t know Garrison, but I could see him struggling. I have a son who has written 2 suicide notes to me. I can’t tell you how it changes you and affects everything you say, do and think. He’s 18 and I don’t think he’s out of the woods by any means I finally had to face the fact that there is only so my I can do and it’s been this mother’s nightmare I can promise you. I eventually sat down and told God all about it and asked him to take this. It’s beyond my control. I have faith that we’ll come out okay on the other side of this. I my heart goes out to you Madison and to the rest of your family. The great thing about having such a big family is you all have each other to lean on. Take care of each other and may God bless and keep all of you in his loving embrace. I wish all of you peace. ❤️

[@Suerdion]

Absolutely heartbreaking 💔

[@Bluelargo50]

Bless you sweet sister to Garrison. Im a 74 Nana that’s watched y’all grow up from day one of the show. When I heard about Garrison my heart went out to your Mom and you kids. My Daddy had mental illness horribly, I have clinical depression and on meds since I was 16. You’re so right that this dreadful illness isn’t talked about and research is so far behind. They crank out drugs long before they’re tested well enough and have bad side effects. Your family is still in my prayers and when I see your Mom on the show my heart feels like it’s being squeezed. She from day 1 was my fav sister wife. We’re too much alike. Your babies are beautiful . God bless each of you and continued prayer always for y’all. Love from Florida❤

I have struggled since I was 16. I have been to the point that I was done a few times. I never thought I would make it to 50. So when I did, I did not have a party to celebrate my 50th, I had a party to celebrate that I made it to 50 as I never thought I would have. I thought my mind would give in to the thoughts. I have watched the show from the start, and this really hurt. We do not talk about it enough. It was a shameful thing when I was growing up and an embarrassment. I hope they can heal with his passing.

[@sc4112]

Let’s be real. Growing up with the criticism, condescension, blame-shifting, goal post-moving, and projection of a narcissistic parent (as Kody demonstrates in front of G-d and everybody) radically increases the chances that a kid will eventually be diagnosed as having “mental health issues”. Some are more emotionally-resilient and will fare better than others, but none escapes unscathed.

Im so so sorry, remember that suicide is a result of a deadly illness. Those who have never had mental illness cant understand the amount of pain a person is in day after day, month after month and year after year that would cause a person to choose death over living. Mental pain is far worse than any physical pain i could imagine. And it makes me angry that health professionals including psychiatrists dont know what they are doing. Current treatment doesnt help. Hopefully, new treatment modalities and causes can be found including psychedelics. May your family be comforted by the happy memories of Garrison.
