The National Guard included information for counseling and therapy services in their post for Garrison. “The entire Nevada National Guard community shares in the sorrow of losing Staff Sgt. Robert Garrison Brown. We recognize the profound impact of his absence on our fellow members and the 221st Cavalry family, who are deeply affected by the loss of their trusted companion.” The post concluded with contact information for mental health programs for Garrison’s fellow service members.

  1. My heart goes out to the whole family especially Janelle as I’ve been following the show since it started Somehow most reality have the most heart breaking terrible thing happened but I feel like someone was going to be really hurt on this show because of Kody and so it did My PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU

    1. I don’t know how to message Jenelle . My heart goes out to her. I can’t imagine say goodbye to my child. She is in my prayers. God Bless this family.

      1. I would also like to hug her with words. My heart breaks for her. She has raised amazing children. May she find strength in their presence.

  2. The entire family is extremely dysfunctional, but a mother’s broken heart can never be healed. I, devastatingly, know firsthand as my son died four years ago, but I was blessed to say goodbye at his death bed. My heart is in pieces for dear Janelle. She’s my favorite of all four of the “sisters”. She and I are now sisters in experiencing the heartbreak of a child’s death; a club no one ever wants to belong to. NO other grief is as hard as this! I hope she finds a great Parents’ Grief Group as I did. It does help.

    1. My heart aches for you and all the moms who have lost a child. I cannot imagine your grief. I am glad you found a support group. 🩵

  3. my heart and thought go out to you and Yr children I can’t imagine what it’s like to loose a child sending lots of hugs to you

  4. Why is Kody looking at Janelle like that when they are presented the flag to her ans why is her comforting Robin instead of Janelle?

  5. I certainly feel I know this family personally as I’ve watched it from the start. Jenelle has had the worst tragedy imagined. She now has joined the worst club of all and I know that club myself. It feels like you can’t breathe or even look to tomorrow. Look for little signs because he has not left you in spirit.He will be there when you least expect it. Bless you and your family. I am heartbroken for you.

  6. My prayers go out to the whole brown family. I lost my 21 year old son to suicide. Janelle I’m so sorry for your loss. Please do not blame yourself for anything at all. Your a great mom. There’s nothing you could have done faster or better. It took me a long time to figure that one out. I feel like I know you all. I’ve watched the show since the beginning. You and Christine are my favorite. I pray God will ease your pain. Much Love ❤️

  7. Because they are not friendly any longer and each has gone their own way and Robin is his wife now so thats where he belongs…with his wife. Although we don’t know that maybe Cody and Jenelle may have hugged and been cordial during this time. Its appropriate for husbands and present wives to be with each other and support each other. This is normal.
