NEWSMadison Brown Admits She's Been 'Holding Onto a Lot of Anger' Following Late Brother Garrison's Tragic Death
Madison Brown Brush admitted she's been struggling with complicated emotions a month and a half after her late brother Garrison died by suicide.
On Wednesday, April 17, the mother-of-three — who shares son Axel and daughters Evie and Josephine with husband Caleb Brush — took to Instagram to reflect on anger and gratefulness.
Madison Brown Brush admitted she was struggling with anger.
"This past November, I embarked on a month-long journey of gratitude, driven by my curiosity about its profound effects on our well-being," she began. "The insights I gained were nothing short of astounding, revealing how a simple practice could significantly alter our emotional landscape."
"Lately, I’ve been holding onto a lot of anger, feeling it gnaw at me day after day," she continued. "It’s becoming a heavy load to carry, and I’m starting to feel ready for a change."
Garrison Brown died by suicide in early March.
She confessed she wasn't ready to "commit" to another full month of "focused gratitude" or to "let go" of her anger just yet, but she wanted to feel better on a daily basis.
"I am ready to wake up without that immediate sense of irritation and to not let anger color my entire day," she explained. "It seems that cultivating a softer heart could be the first step."
Madison Brown Brush shares three children with her husband, Caleb Brush.

"This journey seems to be filled with both shadows and light," she noted. "The absence of what was once familiar is profoundly painful, yet the gratitude for the moments we shared is overwhelmingly powerful."
"I know that it’s perfectly okay to find small moments of gratitude amidst the pain," she said. "Embracing gratitude doesn’t mean ignoring our hurts; I think it means allowing ourselves to appreciate the full breadth of our experiences, the bitter and the sweet."
