Sister Wives: Christine Reflects On Grief And Garrison’s Legacy

Christine recently opened up about grieving Garrison during an appearance on the Too Emotional podcast with her husband, David Woolley. While discussing family loss with the host, Christine admitted she was initially shocked by Garrison’s death. Garrison passed away by suicide in March 2024 at the age of 25. She recalled hoping that the pain she felt would go away with time.

But the reality star heard David’s perspective, which made her think in a different way. David explained that grief never gets smaller or goes away. Instead, he told her that the heart grows around it. He described the loss as leaving a “Garrison-sized hole” that remains forever, while a person’s capacity to hold that pain expands. Christine admitted she did not want to hear that at the time, but later realized how true it was.

She also shared that she never wants that hole to disappear because missing Garrison means remembering him. David couldn’t hold back his thoughts and added that healing comes from letting your emotions come out rather than suppressing them. He felt that crying, anger, and sadness are all necessary to move forward. For the latest Sister Wives tea, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers.
