What Janelle Brown’s First Christmas Without Garrison Means

She’s Doing Her Best To Celebrate & Honor Her Son

Although Janelle’s been quick to take her time away from social media after her son’s ing earlier this year, she’s been clear that she feels comfortable sharing her thoughts about him, too. Openly speaking directly to Garrison in her captions most of the time, Janelle has shared photos of him frequently and explained to followers that honoring him in this way feels good to her. She’s happy to talk about her son, though there’s always a heartbreaking edge to discussing his short life. Janelle has been open about her heartbreak on top of sharing fond memories to encapsulate her grief.

With this being the first Christmas without her son, many were wondering if Janelle would take time offline to cope with the grief she’s surely feeling, but the mother of six made it clear that talking about Garrison is helpful. Spending the holidays with her kids in North Carolina, Janelle has been open about her plans and made it clear that she’s been working through things with her family by her side.

How Janelle Brown's Life Has Changed Since Garrison's Death

Janelle Celebrates Exciting Life Changes While Honoring Garrison

Losing a child is one of the most heartbreaking losses someone can ever experience. While she has shared some thoughts on social media and elsewhere, most people truly have no idea what Janelle has been dealing with this year. As a result of Garrison's ing, the Sister Wives star is trying to hold on to her other children--Logan, Hunter, Gabriel, Madison and Savanah--even tighter now. She has paid tribute to Garrison numerous times in recent months, including on his birthday in October and Thanksgiving (the first big holiday without him) in November.

Despite the grief that Janelle (and the entire Brown family) has experienced for most of 2024, other aspects of her life are flourishing. She's channeling that grief into productive avenues and making improvements with her life. Janelle recently bought property in North Carolina, which she's excited about since she can now put down roots in one specific location and channel her efforts into building a brand-new house she can call her own after leaving Kody.

On Sister Wives, she mentioned that she was looking at property in a couple of different states, saying that she decided to withhold this information from Kody since it was none of his business. This isn't the only way Janelle is sticking it to her ex. She also launched her own line of T-shirts, which throw shade at Kody and highlight memorable quotes from Sister Wives.

Sayings on her shirts include "Teflon Queen," "Chose The Kids Chose The Dog" and "Rescue Your Own D*** Self." So far, these products seem to be selling very well, and Sister Wives fans may enjoy their novelty element. Proceeds from the sale of the garments may help to ease Janelle's financial worries, which she's talked about on the show.
