Christine Brown is in mourning.
But the veteran Sister Wives star is also in self-defense mode at the moment.
As you probably already know, a member of Christine’s extended family took his own life on March 4… as local police in Arizona confirmed a day after Garrison Brown committed suicide at 25 years old.
Is very sad.
In the weeks since this tragedy occurred, Christine has shared a series of tributes to Garrison, who was the son of her close friend Janelle Brown and her spiritual ex-husband Kody Brown.
A few days ago, for example, Christine promised always remember young Garrison.
And yet… Brown also continued to upload posts on Instagram.
She shared a message on Monday, for another example, she advertised her new home online, informing interested users that it is available for rent.
Because the Internet can be a terrible place, strangers have dared to call out Christine after messages like this… wondering how she can think about business (or, actually, anything) after such an unthinkable and painful loss.
Hence Christine’s videotaped response on Wednesday.
“It has been two weeks since Garrison’s death. That’s never that easy to say,” Christine told followers in this footage.
“I have to keep working because that’s what I understand. It’s what I know and it’s what I know I need to do.
“And for me, working part of the time means posting on social media and for those of you who understand that is exactly what I need to do to move forward.”
Last Sunday, St. Patrick’s Day, the mother of six shared a look at her kitchen counter on social media and wrote in the caption:
“Today I made Garrison’s favorite breakfast (green, obviously).
“We will always remember and honor Garrison, no matter what life throws at us daily. It’s a very difficult balance to embrace life and daily routines, like celebrating holidays and working while grieving.”
Christine, due to her close friendship with Janelle, was extremely close to Garrison.
She demonstrated impressive patience in this new video, NOT attacking her critics, but explaining herself gently and calmly.
The TLC personality even thanked fans for their support, telling them that she would miss Garrison “every day for the rest of our lives” and adding:
“So we have to move on because otherwise I would like to stay in bed all day. And for me, working means posting.
“And so I’m going to keep doing that because that’s what I understand.
“Tell them if you want to call someone, you need to call them, reach out and keep doing it.”
As previously mentioned, Garrison was found dead of an apparent suicide at his home in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Police said Garrison’s 22-year-old brother, Gabriel, discovered her dead body after agreeing to check on Garrison after a Troubling text message sent by late reality star.
“I want to hate you for sharing the good times. But I can not. I miss those days”, said the text, which was sent to several acquaintances.
Janelle looked for her children after seeing and Gabriel offered to see if her brother was okay.
Tragically, we now know the answer to that question.
Despite Kody and Janelle’s estrangement, the exes came together in a joint statement to confirm their son’s death.
“Janelle and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” the former couple — who were married from 1993 to 2022 — wrote on Instagram.
“He was a bright spot in the lives of everyone who knew him. Our loss will leave a hole in our lives so big it will take our breath away.
“We ask that you respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.”
