SISTER Wives star Janelle Brown made a promise to herself to focus more on her children following her son’s death, a source exclusively tells The US Sun.
Garrison Brown, Kody and Janelle’s son, tragically took his own life at age 25 in his home in Flagstaff, Arizona, last month.
Although the Office of the Medical Examiner has not yet completed a full investigation, it was reported that the National Guard vet previously struggled with depression and was addicted to alcohol, according to the police report obtained by The US Sun.
Janelle, 54, confessed to police that she “should have gotten Garrison help in the past.”
As the Sister Wives star continues to grieve the loss of her son, a source is sharing information about how she is doing and how she plans to move forward.
“Janelle is heartbroken. She is completely destroyed,” a source close to the family revealed to The US Sun.

“She is grieving and mourning his loss privately, without sharing her struggles as much with her fans.”
“Janelle doesn’t have a big community of people in her world unless she’s with her family, so it’s good that her fans really support her.
“People are worried about her. She is not herself and will obviously take some time to process and heal,” the source continued.
In addition to Garrison, Janelle is close to her other children, whom she shares with ex Kody: Logan, 29; Maddie, 28; Hunter, 27; Gabe, 22; and Savanah, 19.
PLAN ON SITE
Janelle remained active on social media following her son’s death. On March 30, she posted a tribute to Garrison following a memorial service held in Las Vegas.
“It’s been hard to get my brain to work properly again. I am so grateful for the outpouring of love and support I have received over the past three weeks,” she captioned her post.
A source told The US Sun that she is now vowing to focus on her children amid the “bullshit” she has had to deal with since splitting from Kody in December 2022.
“I know she will spend her life focusing on her children,” said a source.
‘There will be no more nonsense. Wherever her kids go, Janelle will go — she’s already made that clear.
“She is spending more time physically checking in on each child as much as possible,” the source continued.
She will spend her life focused on her children.

Janelle recently spent Easter with her daughter Maddie and her family in North Carolina, followed by a trip to Arkansas with her son Logan and his wife Michelle to see the solar eclipse.
KODY’S PAIN
When asked if Janelle’s relationship with Kody will change following her heartbreaking loss, a source told The US Sun that the patriarch “isn’t even thinking about the chances of reconciliation.”
“He’s kind of put up this wall and is internalizing his feelings. He’s more focused on himself and moving forward,” the source shared.
Kody is reportedly in a “very dark place right now” and is “very depressed.”
It was clear when he acted “indifferent” at Garrison’s memorial.
“He was more resistant to blending in,” a source told The US Sun.
Robyn, his last wife, had to encourage him to sit next to Janelle, the source claimed.
‘DEEPLY SAD’
As Sister Wives fans know, Kody and Garrison had a tumultuous relationship for years and separated before his death.
Kody broke his silence on Instagram the day the shocking news broke.
“Janelle and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” Kody captioned two Photos of Garrison.
“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 leave us breathless.”
Janelle shared the same photos and message on her account.
The entire family is “extremely broken and tortured,” a source said, adding: “It’s very painful for many of them.”
