Sister Wives: Meri Says She Recently Cried Over Garrison Brown!
Sister Wives star Meri Brown was the first wife of Kody Brown. The couple was legally married and maintained a plural marriage, with spiritually marrying Janelle, Christine, and Robyn. In 2014, Kody and Meri divorced so he could legally marry Robyn and adopt her children from a previous marriage. Over the last two years, a lot has changed in the Brown family household, and things have never been the same.
In 2021, Christine left Kody, with Meri and Janelle following suit. Amongst these relationship tensions, the Brown children also suffered. The news of Garrison’s death shocked Sister Wives fans, who quickly pointed fingers at Kody and Robyn for the tragedy. However, details about the family’s grieving process remained largely private.
Recently, during an interview with The Sarah Fraser Show, Meri shared insights into how the family is coping with the loss. Meri said that the family came together to remember Garrison. The moment was heartwarming as the family had been scattered, especially since the older kids began living independently.
“It’s good to be able to come back together and see each other, and I do think there has been a little bit of healing between some of the relationships that I’ve seen,” Meri noted. She emphasized that grief is an “individual thing,” and it changes daily. Reflecting on her own journey, Meri said that she sometimes feels fine but can also be overwhelmed by emotions.
Meri recalled seeing Garrison’s number on her phone last week, and she hadn’t deleted it. “I was looking at it just last week, and it brings tears to my eyes,” the Sister Wives star emphasized.
