I lost my 16 year old son Logan to suicide in 2015. I was annihilated. When I heard this today I immediately stopped and prayed that it wasn’t true. Poor Janelle…I hope Gods brings comfort to her heart. The first few years I honestly thought I would die just from the horrible grief and sorrow.
❤
Sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry.
I am so sorry xx
I am sorry for the loss of your son, sending you love.
Janelle said she was "concerned about her boys' mental health." My heart goes out to Janelle praying for all of the family they can stick together. I'm so sorry for their loss.
I need Robyn to not speak. If she tries to spin this in any way I will lose it. Garrison was a lovely young man and my heart aches. I am worried for Gabe. But, seriously, TLC needs to step up and not allow Robyn to speak on this.
Agreed
Robyn came in and wrecked lives now she’s all but taken one. I hope her conscience, if she has one, plagues her for the rest of her days!
@meditation432hzforbliss I just want to say, I don't care how the press & social media spin this. If you saw Robyn's IG today, it was so bad that I almost cried. Let me be clear there's no love lost between me Robyn or Kody & I'm sure you totally agree but all the same people are telling her that this is her fault & karma is a bitch & she should suffer the same fate & nothing is okay about that either.
As much as you dislike k & r, a child is gone. Garrison who adopted cats, bought a beautiful home, took pictures of the night sky's, had a Hawaiian Shirt business & he served his country & he let nothing stop him...until whatever hurt him, hurt too much & he's gone.
Can we, for now, not dump on Kody & Robyn, even though I can see how easy it would be to point fingers & assign blame, we all should not. Gabe is my biggest worry, followed by all of his family... every single one of them. I'm sure each of them is wondering what could I have done? What did I miss? This is fckt up plain & simple & blaming anyone right now just isn't the right thing to do. Let's respect the family's wishes for privacy & grace & let this happen as it will anyway. Hurting or finger-pointing just isn't right for us to do 💔💔💔 This is probably the first & last time ever I'll say please don't come for Kody & Robyn. I'm sure they're broken by this for reasons we know & reasons we don't...
She HATED him so yeah she better not have one word to say now.
I am super sad for Gabe!!
My heart aches for Janelle, Christine, and their kids. Fans have been worried about Gabe and Garrison for years. Janelle said she was worried about Gabe and Garrison's mental health. I wish Kody had parented his children with respect and compassion.
I remember the podcast in which you said that as the parent, Kody should be the one to reach out to Gabe and Garrison. Janelle told police that Garrison was estranged from his father. How does a narcissist twist reality in this case and try to justify NOT reaching out?
@Dsgavidia He will blame Christine and Janelle. If Christine had never left, the family wouldn't have fallen apart and if Janelle had been " loyal" there never would have been a rift with the boys. He was already blaming her for the rift on camera in previous seasons. One thing that has been true of Kody so far is he will never take responsibility for his behavior. Granted I don't think he's to blame suicide is a complex thing and usually has many factors but speaking from experience I have seen families tear themselves apart after suicides. My heart goes out to his family especially Janelle and Gabe.
@@jennyjenkins06He’s not that evil. My God. He will blame himself for the rest of his life regardless. Just quit looking to cast blame. Kody loves those boys no matter what happened. We all have run ins with family. Just stop.
@@LadieKadie exactly
I remember Janelle talking about being worried about her boy's mental health concerning the issues with Kody. My heart is breaking for the the Mom's and siblings. Good video Thank You
I Realy hope Robin dosent even open her mouth. No one cares I’m sure what fake concern she will fake.
@@brendasiatras6425 yes, she needs to just shut up and sit down right now. No one needs more than what they are already dealing with already. This poor family. I feel absolutely sick for them.
Thank you for having a safe place to hear this horrible news. I do not see this as creating content. I see this as informational. As both of you stated, this a place for all of us to honestly just process our shock and grief over this news. If we have watched the show from the beginning, we have watched these children grow up and for me, I watched for the stories around the mom’s and children. That is what interested me and kept me as a fan of the family. Thank you again for the safe place to hear this devastating news and begin the grief process.
I thought about that too and remembered it!
I hope this show finally gets cancelled.
I can't imagine how difficult this is for Gabe. He's such a sweet sensitive kid, to be the one to find his brother is just awful. My heart breaks for the whole family but especially Gabe and Janelle.
Oh, this will concern me for years to come. My heart is broken for Gabe. My son also found his brother, and it destroyed him. Nothing we could do or say helped. This is really hard.
I lost my son to suicide. I feel like I knew Garrison. I am triggered and sad, but Janelle has my heart. I know what it feels like. It was nothing I had ever felt before. These feelings never transpired in my normal life. The pain is excruciating. When you cry, you don’t just cry but you keen. Janelle you have my love.
So sorry for you and Janelle. This is unthinkable💔
There aren’t words in the English language to describe the deep, deep pain we feel every single minute of our existence after losing children.
I am so sorry for your loss! I can't begin to imagine your pain!! Sending love and prayers to you and your family!
Sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry ;/
I can’t believe how much this is affecting me. As a fan, I’m grieving someone I don’t know personally. I’m just really sad for the family. Especially his mom and Gabriel. I appreciate this video because I can see the sadness in you as well and I don’t see this as a content to get views. I see it as a forum for fans to talk about how terrible this situation is.
Yes, I literally have been crying every since. I feel terrible that he didn't feel like things could get better. I feel heartbroken for the family, and just devastated for Gabe for finding him.
It's relatable to me because I have grown sons. I always worry about them but can only do so much. If this happened with one of them, I would not be able to understand it at all. And I would feel so guilty. I called all three of my sons today to tell them I love them
Same here. Idk why it’s affecting me so deeply.
Me sinto da mesma forma. Não consigo parar de pensar na Janelle, na família. Uma tristeza. Inacreditável.
Same. I'm just gutted, and I'm surprised how deeply it's affecting me. It breaks my heart for all of them - that Garrison was hurting so deeply and didn't find what he needed to help get him through; the devastating experience for Gabe; and my God, poor Janelle. He was so loved, and so many people will feel his loss. If there are any future episodes, I don't know if I can watch them.
My heartbreaks for all who are left behind. Garrison seemed to wear his heart on his sleeve. I loved the way he loved his mom and his mom Christine. And his siblings
When he talked about not needing his dad just looked like he was putting on a brave face to deal with the hurt he was experiencing.
When he bought his house and wanted his dad to see it, but Kody wouldn't go because "he had his own house!"
And animals, having just saved a cat from euthanasia. He just seemed to feel things deeply. What a wonderful man he was. I’m heartbroken
@@docon6290yes, can you imagine saying that to your own child? When my daughter has a house of her own someday, I will absolutely be beaming with pride and beyond excited to visit. You couldn’t get me there fast enough
@@johnchamberlain8877Kody is to blame for a lot of this. I hope he will do better
This a community that is grieving with this family. I loved Garrison as much as a stranger can. Please give grace to the entire Brown family.
Cept Kody, his actions speak almost louder than his words!!!!
I think it’s time. The show gets shut down. Let the rest of the kids get off camera quit performing like circus monkeys and live their goddamn lives in peace. Gabe has always been hands-down, my favorite young man in the whole show. He shows empathy and sensitivity and he’s so open, I hope everybody prays for him so he doesn’t go down the same path. The fame is not worth it.
You are absolutely right! These reality shows sacrifice their kids for the money and notoriety.
Yes. Besides Kody's behavior the first thing I thought was how this is yet another example of reality TV destroying a family. It's basically social experimentation and we need to stop doing it, especially when it involves minors.
Yes! I wanted last season to be the last. Please protect these children! There is so much trauma in this family.
The whole family is in my prayers. Gabe, Janelle, and Christine are at the top of my list at the moment. I cannot imagine losing a child; raised or biological. Just devastating!
💔🙏🏾🙏🏾
If I was them I would never go back in honor of Garrison. TLC destroys families.
I never want to see Kody and Robyn’s hateful faces again. I hear in my head Kody calling them jerks. Getting pencil wet. Janelle stood up for her kids and chose them over Kody.
Well..she sat right there calling him her best friend and saying she missed him, missed having him in the home, in her bed, AFTER he had forgotten Gabe’s bday. We also saw her last season decide to go on birthday dinner with him after all the shit he talked about Gabe and Garrison and how he still continued to treat them. She did not put them first always. She was better than Kody but they weren’t always her priority either. She was selfish in her own ways.
My sister was 17 when she died and all I remember is my father SCREAMING. his baby was gone she is dead. I don't like Kody but I hate this pain for him.
So true
Very sad - prayers and love to all the Brown family 🙏🏻❤️
@SLa-pb1gg She certainly liked to be at work long hours. Can't understand why you would have 6 kids if you like full time work more. Maybe sticking to 2 / 3 children would make more sense
Remember how Kody said 3 times that poverty was his greatest fear? Maybe now he will see what really should be his greatest fear. Can you imagine if Kody never reconciled with Garrison? I hope he did. He will regret his actions if Garrison departed this world thinking his dad didnt love him.
Remember Kody said "there will be more Christmases" 😢😢 Well now there won't be with Garrison and I hope it wakes him up to how precious our time with our children is.
@@joanna0988 ... Kody will also need to know that his grief and pain mean something, and we should extend Grace to him as well, during his own flashbacks.
This is more than devastating...for All of the Brown family.
I hope it’s a wake up call for Kody for sure!!
When I heard Kody say what his greatest fear is poverty....I said the greatest fear of any parent is losing a child. This is so sad.
@@lauriekuradI have no sympathy for abusers.
I was laying in bed last night when I saw this. It hit so weird and hard. I live in Flagstaff and I'm a trauma therapist. I had often thought I hope family members get therapy for all they've experienced. It's truly devastating.
Thanks for the work you do! Maybe you can work with them someday!
When I saw the episode where Janell and kids were over at Garrisons and he was positioning, I thought, to be the new patriarch of the immediate family.
@mardyross2838 yes a good observation. Then his mom capitulated and lost her resolve to 'side' with her babies. So heartbreaking, poor Garrison. He had principles. Rest in peace ❤ 🙏
Garrison was so sweet and had his stuff together. He was a highlight of the Brown family! My heart goes out to the entire Brown family.
On the topic of trauma and recovery, I found my 3 month old daughter after she passed from SIDs in 2005. I had to perform CPR until paramedics came even though she was unresponsive. It still haunts me and I have severe ptsd from the incident. I worry about Gabe having witnessed such a horrific and traumatizing thing. I hope he gets therapy and has support during this time...and he shouldn't be left alone. For me, it replayed in my head over and over, especially when I would close my eyes at night to try to sleep. There is no right way for everyone to process grief and trauma. All that can be done is for them to be open and have a safe environment to talk about it (get angry/cry etc) and stick together as things get harder over the next few years.
I am so sorry ! I really cannot imagine what you have had to endure. It doesn’t matter how long ago it was,it’s just tragic and I hate this for you. 💞
there were others in the house, but no one checked on him ??? I mean, WTAF? and why send Gabe? I don't know, I feel so bad for Gabe, my anger over him finding his brother when there were others in that house. I feel like Garrison was being used? Probably just me being so angry over the loss of this young man and so sad for his family.
@@LPnerdI saw someone say that the roommates weren’t necessarily close friends or anything. I think he rented out rooms to help him cover the mortgage. Not saying someone still couldn’t have checked on him but unfortunately with technology and SM there are family members that stay secluded from each other in their own rooms for long periods. Not saying that’s right or healthy but it seems to happen a lot more these days. None of the family probably had the roommates’ #’s but I could be wrong. As far as Gabe being the one to go check on him no one would ever predict that’s what happened. Apparently it was known he had issues with alcohol so they probably thought he wasn’t responding because he was passed out drunk. Poor Gabe, I can’t even begin to imagine going through that and the trauma he’s probably going to have to live with for the rest of his life. One thing I can guarantee Janelle Never would’ve sent him if she thought that’s what he might find.
@@highjinx6519 I’m sorry for your loss. It must be the worst pain in the world.
@@marywilliams5262 must be a misunderstanding, I didn’t say anything about losing anyone personally but ty anyway!
I’m in Australia and don’t know anyone else who watches the show. I’ve been following it since the beginning and have watch the kids grow up and going through all their trials and tribulations. I feel like this family are friends. Hearing about Gabe was devastating- I feel exactly like Alison does in this video. Thank you for posting this for the sister wives fans, we need a place to go and grieve and process too.
I'm Australian and I watch the show. I'm so surprised by how devastated Ì feel.
I’m in Australia also, I have watched a lot of the show. I am also very sad about this, I feel so much for the family. I feel particularly for Janelle, this will change them all forever.
Thanks for this episode, i appreciate being able to listen to lovely kind people, particularly as we know Alison has enjoyed watching the show as we have. Xxxxxx
Gabriel will need constant support as he grew up so close to his brother.
Im in Melbourne and have also watched the show from the start… I’m very sad. He was a beautiful boy. These kids have gone through a lot 😢
It's Garrison actually 😢 but I'm devastated for Gabe too. Gabe found him. And Gabe is so sensitive.
I am so broken hearted. We have watched this family Brown, grow. The good, the bad, and the ugly. We the viewers felt like in some ways a small part of their lives. I've lost a child and siblings. I'm 73 and thru the years, a smell, music, or even a voice could bring something up that I thought was buried. Like I said, I am broken hearted for this family.❤❤❤
May God heal your heart dear one.❤️
❤
I know it’s not the same thing but my mom passed away unexpectedly in 2015. Grief still comes over me like a wave. It’s so fresh it’s as if it happened yesterday. My condolences to the Brown family. Hug the people you love and tell them you love them every day.
I feel your pain as well. I lost my husband in April of 2019 and six months later, I lost my mother. As time goes by we learn to go on but things are never the same. Even years later, grief still creeps in from time to time like an old friend. Grief is the price we pay for love.
I almost lost my daughter at age 14. That day has never left my mind and I can't even imagine what they are going through. Their lives will never be the same. I pray they use this as an opportunity to get some serious family therapy and heal this family. My heart weeps for them 😢😢😢
So sorry for your loss.
@@kellyahola4041I usually don't correct people's comments but I'm going to make an exception - simplieshines' stated that she Almost Lost a child at 14 and she can't imagine the pain this family is going through - so try to imagine her empathy for the Brown family and be happy for her that she didn't lose her child. I had to say that
This should be the end of the show. The Browns should back away from the public eye for good, in my opinion. My sincere condolences for the whole family particularly Janelle 💔🙏
I absolutely agree. TLC should pull all remaining episodes they’ve made and do an episode honoring Garrison and then be the end of the show. The only two I can see even wanting to continue is kody and Robyn for the money and that makes me sick to think of
I found my brother after suicide with a gun. To date it is the most horrific thing to happen to me and my parents. It is never the right choice, if you have suicidal ideation talk to your therapist, family, friends, or pastor. Life does get better after help is given. My heart breaks for the Brown family. Praying for them!
Suicide isn’t a clear minded choice.
Remember that part.
The person isn’t thinking logically whenever they die by suicide.
I was first suicidal at age 8. Most recently a few months ago.
I have struggled with suicidal ideations my entire life. I’m 56 so.. I KNOW what they are thinking.
We believe everyone is better off with us gone. It’s wrong but it’s what we believe in that moment.
The suffering is unbearable. And society offers little to no help. Even in 2024…it’s a three day lockdown. Medicine that may or may not help. A 988 phone number.
Saying suicide is a simple “choice” is incredibly misleading and quite frankly insulting!
Garrison was suffering. I’m certain he weighed all his options many times.
I am also certain He is finally at Peace.
Perhaps the people left behind should have been more concerned when he was alive. He left clues. We all do.
People are too busy for us. That’s the cold hard Truth nobody wants to admit.
Most of us just need someone to care enough to listen. But when we say we are feeling suicidal we are oftentimes told we are being Dramatic or attention Seeking!
😢
Unless you’ve been there you have no idea.
RIP Garrison
P.S.
People who lose loved ones to Cancer are Not Cancer Survivors.
Therefore people who lose loved ones to Suicide are Not Suicide Survivors.
That is another BIG problem where People who die by Suicide are even shamed after death.
We get no mercy through life or after death.
So sorry for your loss and the trauma of seeing that loss.
@@shatteredbones1048 thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your thoughts and struggles. I'm sorry it's been lifelong for you. I hope that you can find something that will help make life easier for you.
I have a family member who has struggled in the past with this. I'm hoping they are not currently struggling, and check in frequently.
I've shared with them the story of the people who jumped off the Golden Gate bridge, but survived. Each one of them regretted the decision immediately after jumping. ALL of them. And men tend to have a higher rate of successful attempts because of the methods they use - often with a gun. There is less chance of this being interrupted or reversed than pills for example.
You have opened my eyes up to how long this struggle can last. Thank you again for sharing ♥
I am so very sorry. Be easy on yourself. Sending you peace.
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my oldest sister to suicide. She had a mental illness that destroyed her brain. There was no getting through to her. She could function on meds, but she couldn't see and hear what made her happy, so the meds were evil. I guess every circumstance is different. I pray for the family.
Please don’t beat yourself up, we need someone with truth to help everyone through this horrific time.
I didn’t get the impression that your goal here is more content. Your take is very compassionate, and I’m glad you addressed it. My heart is broken for this family, and it is obvious yours are too.
A young coworker of mine did this. He was also in the National Guard and going to college to be a doctor. I thought he had his life together. It just goes to show you, you just never know what is going on.
I'm also saddened by the massive comments that have stories to tell. I'm blown away by this. Condolences to all. 💔
Kody will forever have to live with the guilt that the last public thing he said about his some was publicly calling him a jerk .This whole thing is horribly sad poor poor Janelle. 😢
WHAT Kody HAS TO GO THROUGH IS nothing you will feel more than him, HE WAS THE FATHER, stop acting like he was a devil, you guys are too insensitive like it's annoying...
A sad and tragic day that will impact lives forever. I am now VERY concerned for Gabe, and hope that someone is with him 24/7 for a very, very long time, so one tragedy doesn’t turn into two.
Agree! So very tragic. Hope the family has good counselors to help them thru this tragedy.
My son died this way. Mine was shock, confusion, ANGER(this one lasted a long time) & then just mind blowing grief, the kind that makes it hard to breathe, then total numbness that lasts for years. It is all a very long process. It has been 20 years and I can finally talk about it & cry without guilt.
I am sooo sorry for your loss. God Bless you..💙🙏💙
Sending you peace in every way!
Lovely young man, his pain must have been enormous. He will be missed and cherished. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. To Gabe, let love envelope you, you are a very special young man and our hearts are with you.
I’m not devastated for the family but for GARRISON. As someone who has struggled with suicidal ideation I can relate to his pain and what it must’ve taken for him to follow through with this.
I want this show off the air..
Agreed, it's time to cancel it.
Agreed. Thank you and I am proud of you.
Thank you for doing the video. I actually cried when I heard the news. Watching over the years, I had fallen in love with the Brown children. I felt that despite their upbringing, they were very well-adjusted young people, so full of love and compassion, and just fun to watch. Prayers to the Brown family....especially Janelle. I know that her heart is just broken.
As someone who lost their brother last year to this same tragic fate, i want to thank you for validating the anger that comes with the grief. I hope that he gets therapy soon, or finds a way to heal. This kind of loss is soul crushing. I know 💔
Sending prayers peace and love your way!
I lost my brother the same way 5 years ago. The 2 things that still get to me are all the questions that will never be answered and watching my parents still grieve. I think it's very hard on parents. Prayers for Kody and Janelle.
My brother took his life @ 9 years old. March 9, 1981. I found him. I’ve been in therapy for over 4 years. Therapy really helped me & it was a lot of work, emotion, and lots of ups & downs. My brother hung himself with a belt on a bunkbed.
I am sorry for the trauma Gabe is going through. My heart hurts for Janelle and her family & all who was close to the browns.
I’m sorry for everyone who has lost a loved one by suicide. 💔😭
Thank you for speaking about this. I have guilt as a long term Sister Wives viewer who could see Garrison struggling. Devastating loss.
I am glad you are covering this. We are all heartbroken. We just love Garrison and his siblings, and have been watching this boy since he was 10. We worry about Gabe.
Thank you for doing this episode. It's such a fine line to walk. As Alison said, we're fans of the show, and we love the family, and we are not part of the family.
In 2011, my father in law took his own life. When I heard about Garrison yesterday, my mind went back to those first few hours. From finding out, to the family huddled in a tiny living room crying and just looking at each other. The shock, the pain, the unexpected gut-wrenching sobs that would spontaneously break out. It's just so painful, and I feel for every single one of them.
When my family was going through it, we closed ranks, so to speak, and didn't let anyone in. Sort of like a wounded animal, we were vulnerable and in self-preservation mode. I wouldn't have wanted anyone filming me. I wouldn't have wanted anyone thinking they had a right to any insight or information. It's just a horrific, raw, gut-wrenching time. My prayers are with all of them.
I am so sorry for the loss of your father in law. In May 2023 my boyfriend’s cousin, who we lived with took his life and we found him. I too was brought back to that day when I heard the news of Garrison. We still live in the home where I happened and as I type this I am at my desk where I WFH directly across the hall from what was his room. I face the memory everyday. But this is the first time I had an actual flashback and experienced the feelings all over again. Just as you described, huddled in the living room trying to make sense of it all. The screams and the sobbing. Then imagining the Browns enduring the same pain. Oh it took my breath away.
It is a sensitive subject to make a video about especially since they have asked for their privacy. Though in those first few hours and days I had never felt more alone. As if no one in the world had ever experienced this before. I couldnt see through the fog of my own grief. It wasn’t until the news of Garrison that I have actually been able to read, think about, or talk about other people’s experiences. I appreciate this video, though I watch with caution to keep my own trauma at bay. It’s important to find our community with those who have lost someone close in this way. It’s different than any other death I’ve experienced. It’s absolutely horrific. What I’ve found in these last few days are people like me and I am grateful. My heart is with the Browns and I am so sorry for their loss ❤
@@aliciaj4616you are not alone. I remember in the months following, I was in awe that everyone else's world kept turning while mine was standing still. I said over and over to my children that however you feel is OK. This type of death is a different animal. It's not like any other death I've experienced. I was finally able to stop my mind from asking "why" when I realized that it really didn't matter. He could have left us a 9 page letter explaining exactly why, and it wouldn't have been good enough. There's no explanation that would have made me say, "oh, ok. I get it now!" That was a helpful realization for me to quiet the "why".
@@aliciaj4616I'm sorry for your loss as well.
Prayers for Gabe, and the whole family, when my cousin who was closer to me than my own sister, passed in similar fashion,, I was extremely sad and very furious. Its still something that brings a tear to my eye when I think about it even 6 years later. It's something you learn to live with more and more everyday. It just takes time
I was so upset and sad. I couldn’t sleep all night. I spent the bulk of it praying for them all. Thank you for doing this.
We are heartbroken so thank you. I never want to see K&R ever again for their part . All of it together was too much RIP Garrison . Gabe we love you.
This is definitely more like a support group and not a gossip circle. He was such a pure soul.
This channel is needed. Thank you for your insight. This is going to be so difficult for the fans of sister wives.
Who knows who may watch your podcasts and be able to obtain assistance for depression, grief, anger, etc.
You are offering a discussion on the issue.
My prayers are for the family. This is going to be a very, very difficult time for them. A parent should never have to suffer living through the loss of a child....
Thanks for the conversation, guys.
It's been reported that Janelle has been hospitalized. If this is true, I pray for her strength.
Oh no. I hadn't heard that. If true, that is just terrible. I'm sure she has carried around a lot of guilt about uprooting those kids over and over through the years. I hope she'll be OK
I've not heard this reported anywhere.
Janelle had been in & out of the hospital to have further growths of potential skin cancer removed. She's been very vocal about checking yourself & there are posts & articles about it up if you Google it. Her being in the hospital is regarding the removal & check up on the removal of those skin cells. Totally unrelated to the loss of her son
Heart attack?
@DearestDawn no, skin cells that were potentiality cancerous. This isn't her first rodeo & she's got a whole bunch of info out about watching for abnormalities in skin & being safe. Google it! Jeez, no heart attack
I'm very thankful that you did the stream. I was shocked and heartbroken for the entire Brown family, with the news of Garrison's death. I needed this podcast. I cried when I heard the awful news, then felt embarrassed for crying, when it's someone I didn't really know, so thank you.
Kody had no care for his son's heart by crap talking him to the world. It's hard not to blame him.
And not only was he not much of a father to them, they had to watch him coddle Robyn's kids. They get carried off to their rooms when they have anxiety, but the boys get kicked to the curb at 18 and told to manage on their own. It really is hard not to blame him.
How can I be so angry at someone I don't know?😢
It is difficult to put into words. I immediately prayed for the entire family. We saw Garrison grow through the years and his loss is devastating. My prayer as a Mother is that Janelle receives whatever support she needs through her grieving process. As much as I as I love the show if they decide to not film I would understand. ❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Garrison
It was Garrison who died. Gabe is his brother.
I really needed to hear what you guys had to say. I’m beyond devastated and sick about it…I know you must be as well. Thank you for supporting the Browns and your followers as we processes. Praying for the family.❤
I am appreciative that they both responded with their individual thoughts and compassion for others.
Processing is your key word here. The Brown family and some of the fans are likely in a state of shock. After my brother’s suicide I walked in a dense fog for several months.
Pointing fingers is a natural but sad reaction. I truly hope someday a life will be saved by their honest and immediate commentary.
Watching out for those close to Garrison, especially Gabe, who discovered his brother’s remains and anyone with histories of poor decision making - will need sound therapy, love and support.
I just buried my young stepbrother this weekend who died from an overdose. The literal amount of pain my stepmom and dad are going through can't even be described. No parent strained or not should have a child pass before them and my heart aches for Jenelle and Kody equally. Thank you to you both for taking great care when speaking about this. It is the only channel I support that should be making any content on this situation for obvious reasons.
So sorry for your loss and for watching them grieve! So hard!
TMZ confirmed he committed suicide and Gabe found him. It’s absolutely heartbreaking for his entire family & friends.
😮
I bet not every member of the family knew before TMZ reported it 😢😢
Did he leave a note?
@@tanyaphilstrom7077I haven't heard there was a note 😢
David - Thank you for acknowledging that your initial reaction was anger. I realize that since that time, you have been able to see the bigger perspective…but I was feeling terrible for my initial feelings of anger. You gave me permission to have that human emotion, before moving on to a better place of compassion.💕
I came and searched out this video after seeing your reels before when I found out. I think so many loved him, and we too are hoping for understanding and answers. Thank you for doing this
I'm so glad you two did a video. People need an outlet to grieve and be together. As weird as parasocial relationships are, we've watched this kid grow up and I think it's confusing to a lot of us how hard we're taking it, for someone we don't even know. I think it gives the outlet we need and hopefully keeps people away from messaging the family. Thanks guys.
That's what I felt when I heard about Princess Diana. Stunned, shocked and grief stricken. I admired her so much 💔
I appreciate you guys coming on and speaking about this devastating tragedy. This breaks my heart. That beautiful boy has gone way too soon.
Amen. You have to let them grieve in their own way. I lost my dad a month and two days ago. Every single member of the family is grieving in their own way. Let's give them space because we care about them all, in some way.
Thank you for a place to go. We have watched this boy grow up and feel the loss even though we really don’t know them. I don’t know Janelle, but I know how this is going to devastate her. And I am so worried about Gabriel. He needs family to rally around him more than ever. My heart breaks for all of Garrison’s siblings, Christine and Janelle. 😢
Your compassionate commentary is appreciated. Hit the nail on the head about us feeling connected to this family. It’s like we want to be there and hug them all. This will likely be my last look at Sister Wives content for a while.
Praying for the Brown family. Having to endure this tragedy publicly only adds to the devastating event. The Browns are first and foremost a real family who have just become members of a club no one wants to be a member of. They deserve grace, love, prayers and time to grieve - however long that may take. My hope is that each of the family members seeks help on their grief journey.
Thank you for your well spoken compassion for all of the Brown Family. As we pray for peace for the family please add additional prayers for Gabriel.
Garrison said he had a savior complex. He couldn't save his relationship with his dad, couldn't save his mom's marriage, couldn't save the family from breaking up, maybe it was too much for him.
His heart was broken too many times by his family
@@ilexevergreen5405I agree with you completely. If you read about “The Lost Boys” so many of them have died by suicide.
Yes. He said he bought the house in HOPES it could be a neutral place to bring people together. 😢😢
@@AdgTee21 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kody & Robyn did so much harm to non-Robyn kids 💔
@@AdgTee21agreed
Thank you for talking about it! We need to hear caring, sane voices amidst the media craziness. Definitely felt therapeutic and what we need to process the grief and concern for that family. 😢
I really hoped you'd talk about it, purely because the fans need your type of content right now. A place to put the feelings.
Thank you for letting us be with you as we process the tragedy of the loss of a young man.
I pray that Kody and Garrison made peace, for Kodys sake. That people recognize that he’s a grieving parent who lost his child and show mercy. It’s not our place to lay blame as we are not aware of all the events going on in these people’s lives. My deepest condolences to all the Brown family, but especially to Gab and Janelle! I hope Garrison is at peace. As a huge fan of the show, my heart breaks for the lost of such a promising young life.
you were probably the most sane and logical person on this matter, instead of the many who chose to react from a scripted show, rather than showing compassion for Kody who lost his son to suicide, no one has the right to interpret the man didn't love his son because of some on screen drama, it's sill honestly, but thank you for your much needed comment ❤❤
18 years for our family. I remember knowing it will never be ok and it will never get better. Still waiting. Thank you for being a place we can all come to process a pain that will never not be crushing
Thank you for doing an episode like this. Gabriel needs to know there are is empathetic support out there for him.
Thank you for being a support group for us! You’re right, Allison! We need to process this and I personally have nowhere to go. Thank you both so much ❤
TLC has ruined every single family they film!!! Exploiting kids on tv needs to stop!! They never should of aired the things Kody said about his children 😢 it’s so awful
I want to say this...yesterday when I saw that this awful tragedy had har, I couldn't watch anyone else's channel. It felt gross and I just couldn't do it. You guys are so thoughtful of your words and feelings of the Brown family. I don't think that what you had to say was inappropriate at all. This is so shocking and people want to talk about it to make sense of what happened. That is quite normal.
I for one will blame Cody no matter what the outcome.
He has not been a father when the kids needed him the most.
True, he was a father pretty much only to Robyn’s kids, the rest only got crumbs. Rest in peace Garrison, you must have been really hurting to have left your mama in the way you did 💔
Losing a child is so devastating. No matter what Kody did on the past, I would have never wished this sorrow on him or any of the family members. Now is the time for true empathy and compassion for these parents and other family members. Not for pointing fingers or placing blame on anyone. No one deserves this. Losing a child is a pain beyond comprehension, unless it has happen to you. My daughter lost her son as a small infant 28 years ago, and it has never left her. Mothers Day and Fathers Day will never be the same for them. Holidays will never be the same for this family. Leave them in peace, they are suffering enough.
He has called those boys every name he could think of and then had the nerve to demand loyalty. Where’s the loyalty to the boys?
As we know Janelle always said Kody was a good father up untill Robyn came into the family. He started to spend more and more time at Robyn's house and less time with his sons at Janelle's house. Didn't Garrison say he went to Robyn asking if they could get their father back and if you watch the older episodes where Gabe says he looks up to his dad.. And than with the whole Covid period he forgets Gabe's birthday, he wants Janelle to kick the boys out of the house etc... Those boys have been so deeply hurt and neglected by their own dad and on top of that he calls his kids a**holes in the talkback on tv.. They will have watched this.. what does that do to his kids.. For me Kody and Robyn for a huge part are to blame for what happened.. And than the saddest part.. Gabe found his brother 😢 What will the effect be for him mentally.. I just hope he has a good support system and therapy..
@@anitakrijgsman5778100% agree
My daughter attempted 3x when she was in her early teens. It was by far the hardest and scariest thing I’ve ever had to experience. I’m eternally grateful that each time was found in time and unsuccessful. She’s now an adult and has very well adjusted to dealing with her mental health. Thank god but it still is a thought in my own mind at least once every single day even all these years later. That fear/trauma never goes away fully. So I can’t begin to imagine how I’d manage if she’d been sucessful.
I understand you but from a sibling perspective and not as a mom. It's almost as devastating as if they had succeeded. Thankfully my sibling was not successful but was as close as you can get to being successful and yet still making it through. I thank God too. Unfortunately this sibling isn't dealing with life. Still. So I think I can never feel "safe" or out of the woods.
I hope TLC does not move forward with sister wives. I hope his funeral is private with no public photos. Let the young man rest.
Actually I was waiting for you to talk about this more than any other channel. I don’t think there is anyone I know whose life hasn’t been touched by this sort of tragedy and the questions it leaves behind. Thank you for taking the time to address the loss of this kind, sweet boy.
The show needs to be over. The family is in crisis and not be filming. RIP Garrison. Let the family get some help
Let me just say, I've watched the show from the beginning, been away from my phone for a few days, and this video is how I found out about Garrison passing away... it was a gentle announcement followed by a healing discussion. My heart breaks for him and the family, and it will take time to process this news.
Thank you for addressing this topic with the care that you put in. I appreciate this video from the bottom of my heart. I'm actually not interested in seeing any other youtuber's video post about Garrison right now. You both said what needed to be said ❤️
David and Allison- Please remember that language matters when discussing suicide. It is not acceptable to say they “committed suicide” as it infers to an act that is seen as a sin or crime; ie a person commits murder or commits adultery. We don’t say a person committed heart failure. It is now advised that we use the phrase “died of suicide”. It is much more respectful to the person who died and to their family and loved ones . Trust me, it does land differently with families dealing with suicide. Thanks.
Great contribution to the fund of knowledge. In watching the video, he said completed.
@@mardyross2838 Allison said committed in their podcast and in the Pop Psych video today regarding Garrison and grief David said “completed suicide”.
The litmus test for talking about suicide is to substitute the word "cancer" for the word "suicide" to see if the sentence still makes sense or if it has a negative connotation. We wouldn't say "committed cancer" or "successful cancer." We would simply say "cancer death" or "died of cancer." Thus, when it comes to suicide, we should say "suicide death" or "died of suicide” not completed suicide.
I understand it may not matter to some, but to those who have/are dealing with suicide in their lives, it matters.
@@susiegirlz You’re correct. That’s why I always try to use these opportunities to educate people why it words matters.
These podcasts and videos are important because they help us all feel connected to the situation as we, the public grieve. Thank you for talking about this subject.
My heart is so broke for the family. I agree that i am glad that yall have posted a video on this. We as supporters need a place to come together to process our thoughts bc we do feel so close to them but yet we are not family so we need a place to vent our feelings and grief.
Grief also evolves. It can be one language and then another, and another. Not linear is the perfect way to put it. Kubler-Ross really stifled so many of us because she was writing for Hospice patients facing death, not survivors of death. People quote her words so flippantly. You can tell probably that I have buried my boy. Thank you for this thoughtful, respectful session.
Allison is correct....you are hosting a support group for those of us who care deeply for the Brown family.
My middle daughter was 39 when she died in July 2020. She had been in recovery for two years and that blew up during COVID. COVID was horrible with long lasting results
I am really glad you’re talking about this. My heart breaks for that entire family. Our family experienced a horrible loss in 2019. It was a blessing that our family got closer and marriages stayed intact. As the matriarch of our family, I thought I had learned to grieve. My parents, siblings, everyone I grew up with are gone and I’ve seen and felt a lot of grief and as dumb as this sounds, I thought I sort of had it figured out. I was very wrong. The loss almost destroyed me and at the same time, I was trying to be a strong Mom and Grandmother to everyone. We have been moving forward but it took a long time. Years. The thing we did right with each other is there was no judgment. We all grieved differently but together and yet it was almost unbearably lonely. I know those things don’t make a lot of sense but it was our experience. I feel like all of us respected each other and we respected each others method of grieving. None of us expected anything. We seemed to innately understand that we would each suffer in our own way and it was important for us to not expect emotions to go in order or all of us to go to therapy. Some went and some didn’t. After three years when some of us would lose it, no one was saying it had been long enough and we should be doing better. I think for us, that’s what kept us so close. And God and prayers were life saving. A lot of people in other places knew what had happened and people were praying for us from all over. We felt those prayers and that gave us strength. Most of all, we stuck together and loved each other and accepted how we each grieved differently. Now we’re coming up to the 5 year anniversary and I’m so thankful we are all still here and that we still have a strong family bond. It’s hell though. It’s okay to acknowledge the hell, it’s healthy to talk about the anger. We are coming out on the other side and I think we are all astounded that we made it. And we are grateful that we made it.
I didn't know if you'd make an episode about this and I'm glad you did. I lost two close family members this way and it's such an important conversation to have. For anyone reading Canada also has a 24/7 crisis line, you can dial 988 from any phone. Care and good thoughts to all.

it took me a few years to get over seeing my ex dead, i probably am not still over it, but i don't picture him dead anymore when i think of him. i feel so much for Gabe.
Nothing prepares you for the rage you feel in grief, the way it crashes over you in waves and the suffocating helplessness when there’s nothing you can do to fix it. I lost my grandpa to medical malpractice from something easily treatable right after we found out he was in remission from cancer. I had a name and face to go with my anger, and it ate at me for for years that I couldn’t stop it, that the man who took away the person I felt safest with would never face consequences. The latter still haunts me over two decades later, as I imagine it will for much of the Brown family for similar reasons…
About Covid, my daughter, born in 2003, was halfway through her junior year at the start of the lockdown. She spent her junior spring and practically her entire senior year on lockdown (santa clara county, ca). She was taking 4 AP classes by herself in her room. She couldn't get a break from her autistic brothers and she couldn't spend any time with her friends. Her psychological health went down the toilet. She got no senior year fun. We were lucky to have a graduation outside with everyone (split in family groups). She is away at school at UCSB (her first 2 years of college she was at home) and going there was her dream but she is still suffering. She has therapist at home and at school but she still struggles.
Thank you for doing this. It seems like a lot of the sister wives content creators aren’t commenting or shaming us for being curious about what happened and having complex emotions about all of this.
My 14-yr-old son found his father (my ex for 6 years by then) dead from an overdose on Christmas day. I too dropped to my knees when I realised not only that it happened and our three kids lost their father, but that our youngest was the one to find him. Worse that it was on a day that can never be forgotten no matter where you live, a day that has with it so much building expectation to be the happiest every year. It’s been over 9 years now and I still fear for all my children’s well-being…especially my youngest. It is incredibly traumatic, and something that inevitably never heals from in time. One only learns to cope. My heart is so broken for them all. May they hold Gabriel close in love.
I’m literally crying out loud for this poor young man. It can’t be normal to cry like this over a person I’ve never met. I’m literally praying for everyone in that family. I hope this serves as a wake up call to Cody about how short lives can be and how we should all live in peace and love. 💕 uggggggg grief stinks.
I lost my ex husband my children lost their father last year to this and no two people grieve the same. I can’t imagine the pain his parents are going through despite the riff he and his father had; people need to try and find empathy for Kody regardless of personal feelings honestly, he will be paying for his actions the rest of his life. The pain a person is in to do this action in my mind is unimaginable, not any one factors or person’s fault and just so sad. I pray garrison finds the peace now that he no longer is in pain. Rest in peace.
Thank you for covering this topic with respect, importance, and professionalism. But also for covering it! In times like these, the fans of the show want to discuss this and seek out others in the community to express their thoughts.
This video has more grace and class and respect for the family than any other video I have seen. I think it’s less about “making content” off of this tragedy and more about helping your audience process this. It’s obviously a devastating loss for the family but it’s also a loss for the SW fan base and so many other content creators do not have the background to help with their content. Please keep up the good compassionate work
Thank you for addressing this topic. I was really hoping you would. I struggled with suicide ideation and attempts for many many years as a result of a parent’s death and I understand the pain associated with it. The devastation suicide leaves in its wake is palpable and I am so sorry for the Brown family. I appreciate you guys and again thank you for tackling such a heavy yet extremely important subject.
Thank you for this. It is about processing and many of us may be the only one in the household that watched the show.
My heart is broken for Garrison, and the pain he carried. He was such a good kid/young adult. For the parents and siblings, I am so sorry for your loss and the journey ahead. 💔😭
Sending you all love and peace!
Thank you both for doing this! You like all of us, are hurting. We all need a soft place to land, including you!! I hope your subscriber family has given you that in return. Prayers and more prayers for strength and peace to Janelle and family!! Especially Gabe!
🙏🙏❤️ Oh Dear Lord Above please keep this young man safe and sound. I am so sorry for this loss. He was a great young man! Rest Easy and Fly High Garrison you will be missed and stay in the hearts of many!
😇❤
Thank you for this episode. I believe it helps us all thru the emotions of this tragedy, to talk about it and share together. We do love this family, having watched them grow up over many years, and deal with a lot of joy, heartbreak, and change. Appreciate both of you and would never think you would use a tragedy for content. I believe you have good intentions and good hearts.
Thanks Allison for "allowing" me to have all the feelings I have as a fan. It's hard to reconcile the emotions I have about this with having never met any of them.
I’m so sad 😞 He seemed like such and awesome person just from what we saw on the show. All of the kids seems great. My heart aches for them.
I almost commited suicide in my early 20's and a friend called emergency services for me . I had a wonderful loving family that was so supportive, but when you feel that way it absolutely consumes you , and it feels like there is no way out of the pain . I was lucky that the signs were caught by some of the people around me. My family took shifts to just sit and be with me , and they fought hard for me to get the support I needed. As someone who knows how horrible that level of depression is, it is devastating to know that other people are out there feeling that level of pain. I hope people give the whole Brown family grace and time to grieve.
As someone who found two loved ones after one shot the other and then themself, this is the first time since that loss that I’ve really hewed even a MENTION of how the survivor/discoverer can cope. We are left with this deep, profound loss, and a thick cement coating of trauma to go along with it. We don’t know how to tell the grief and the trauma apart.
This is the only mature and fair assessment of this situation that I have seen. It is appreciated.
I think you bpth handlrd this topic with so much class. Thank you. I'm sending prayers for everyone!!!
