Madison Brown speaks out on Garrison
Madison Brown has touched on her late brother Garrison’s death on Instagram.
She “wanted to get on Instagram before she starts going back to real life,” adding social media can be “controversial”.
She thanked her followers for the “outpouring of love we’ve had,” saying she’s had thousands of messages from people giving condolences and talking about their own experiences with grief.
“Mental health is so important, I don’t think we talk about it enough in a way that we understand,” Madison said in a sit-down video, saying the “first two weeks was horrible” after Garrison’s death.
She warns ‘time is so precious’
Madison opened up about four things she’s learned during her grief over the past two weeks. One of them is that time is “so precious,” which was closely followed by how “social media is not real”.
Not wanting to put any pressure on herself to go back to “real life,” Madison writes of how “surreal it feels to step back into the rhythm of “normal life”” with her mind “consumed with thoughts of Garrison”.
She added: “Though I am not naïve to the fact of returning to what once was ‘normal’ wont be happening. I find myself prepared to start getting back into this new normalcy.”
Madison feels she and Garrison didn’t talk about social media, and how it is each person’s “highlight reel”.
She said: “Garrison felt he wasn’t doing enough because he was comparing himself to social media.”
The Sister Wives star added: “If you ever feel down, remember it’s their highlight reel. The way we can show up for each other in these times is to talk to people and get away from screens.”
