In an exclusive interview with *People* magazine, Kody and Janelle
Brown opened up about the tragic loss of their son Garrison, which will
be addressed in *Sister Wives* Season 19. As fans anticipate how the
show will handle this heartbreaking event, Kody and Janelle’s differing responses to their son’s death have drawn attention. Janelle, in her statement, reflected on the shock and devastation of losing Garrison, while emphasizing the importance of mental health discussions, especially for young men. She described her son as upbeat, with a promising future, and mentioned that the family had no idea of his struggles before his passing. Janelle stressed that her family now makes mental health a priority and encouraged open conversations about it to honor Garrison’s memory.
Kody, on the other hand, focused on the regret of missed opportunities. He shared that he often felt they had all the time in the world to reconnect, but now, his grief is marked by the irreconcilable loss of the future they would never have. His reflections on wishing he had spent more time with Garrison and his desire for one last moment with his son left some fans feeling conflicted, given the history of strained relationships between Kody and his children.
While Janelle’s message resonated with hope and a push for mental health awareness, Kody’s statements were met with mixed reactions, particularly regarding his regrets over missed chances. Fans have expressed varying opinions on how the family continues to cope with this tragedy and how they will choose to share their story moving forward.
