Sister Wives star Garrison Brown’s sister Madison Brush says his suicide was due to mental health struggles and social media

Sister Wives star Madison Brush thanked fans for sharing condolences and their experiences with suicide two weeks after her “beautiful brother” Robert Garrison Brown died at the age of 25.

‘It wasn’t bullying. It wasn’t a lack of love that Garrison had, it was mental health (struggle),” the 28-year-old reality star explained in a Instagram Video posted on Monday.

“And I’m going to continue talking about mental health and self-care until I’m blue in the face because I don’t think it’s talked about enough in a way that people understand.”

Madison emphasized, “Time is so precious. And if you’re unhappy with the way you’re spending your time and you’re not feeling fulfilled in life, I would encourage you to reevaluate.”

Brush (née Brown) repeatedly stated that “social media isn’t real” and that she is “done with filters” and ready to live “more authentically” because platforms like Instagram have harmed her sibling.

“Garrison always felt like he wasn’t doing enough because he was comparing himself to things on social media, and I don’t think it’s real and I think we need to remember that,” the married mother of three noted. .

“So if you ever let yourself down because you see someone posting something, remember that this is their highlight and you don’t see everything happening in the background.”

Madison encouraged her “cultivated” 642,000 Instagram followers to reach out to their friends and family and build a real community so that “we can stand up for each other and love each other.”

Brush and Brown are two of six children from the 29-year “spiritual union” between polygamist Kody Brown and his ex-“wife” #2 Janelle Schriever, which ended in 2022.

“Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” Janelle, 54 announced March 5th.

“He was a light in the lives of everyone who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it will take our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.”

The Nevada Army National Guardsman died that same day from an illness self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home in Flagstaff, AZ.

Last Wednesday, High Country Humane announced the nonprofit had “received nearly $13,000 in donations” in Garrison’s memory.

She continued, “And I’m going to continue talking about mental health and self-care until I’m blue in the face because I don’t think it’s talked about enough in a way that people understand.”

The 51-year-old mother of six wrote on Sunday: “We will always remember and honor Garrison, no matter what life throws at us on a daily basis.”

Christine added: ‘It’s such a difficult balance between life and the daily routines of going on holiday and working whilst grieving. So, hey, I made his favorite for St. Patrick’s Day!’

Christine ended her 27-year “spiritual union” with Kody in 2021 after welcoming six children, and on October 7, she legally married David Woolley.

Brown legally married ‘fourth’ wife Robyn Sullivan after splitting from first wife Meri Barber in 2014 after 24 years, but they did not end their ‘spiritual union’ until 2023.
