The Sister Wives stars have grieved for those they have lost, and it’s time to talk about members of the family who sadly passed on. The Browns were once a very close-knit family, but the large clan has become more and more spread out over the years. While living separate lives, the cast members have had to grieve due to losing their loved ones.
Losing a loved one is never easy, but Sister Wives Kody Brown’s family’s religion teaches them that death is an essential part of their Heavenly Father’s plan for their salvation. For a follower to become like the Eternal Father, they must experience death. Mormons believe that followers of the religion lived with God before they were born. They were given the freedom to choose and were sent to Earth to be tested. Mormons like The Brown’s believe that when a person dies, their spirit is separated from their physical body, and their spirit then enters a probationary period. Once Jesus Christ appears for his second coming, all who have died will be resurrected. The Brown family’s Mormon beliefs have helped them to get through some very trying times. The reality stars have grieved the sad passings of family members.
Sister Wives Meri Brown Lost Her Mother Bonnie
First, Kody’s now ex-wife Meri Brown sadly shared on Instagram that she lost her mother, Bonnie Ahlstrom, in March of 2021. Bonnie appeared on Sister Wives multiple times on the show and watched as she helped Meri move towards her dream of owning her grandparent’s home, Lizzie’s Heritage Inn. Bonnie was 76 at the time of her death.
Sister Wives Janelle Brown Lost Her Mother As Well
Janelle Brown also lost her mother back in December 2020. The family mourned privately at the time before announcing their tragedy a few weeks later. Janelle also shared a touching tribute on her Instagram. She didn’t share the reason for her mother’s passing, but it was known that Janelle’s mother had been ill for a long time.
SisterWives Kody Brown Lost His Brother Curtis
The patriarch Kody also dealt with a tremendous loss. In 2013, Kody revealed that he had lost his brother, Curtis Brown. It was revealed that Curtis died after a tragic motorcycle accident and was only 34 years old when he passed. Curtis appeared in a Sister Wives season 3 episode, which was aptly named “Brown Boys Do Vegas.” The episode included Kody, Curtis, and their two brothers, Scott Brown and Michael Brown. The four brothers shared a night of bonding, which included motorcycle riding, grabbing a few drinks, and spending time at a shooting range.
Despite going through so many losses, the Brown family continues on and never loses faith. Many of the Browns believe they will be reunited with their lost family one day in the afterlife. The family is going through a difficult transition now that Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown have left Kody. The Sister Wives family may be shifting in dynamic, but they will still be there for each other during tough times. Hopefully, the Browns can stand strong together, just as they have during some of the saddest moments.
