‘RHOC’ Alum Lydia McLaughlin Speaks Out on Brother’s “Unimaginable” Death
Lydia McLaughlin is finding some solace in tragedy.
While detailing her family’s burial for her brother Geoffrey “Geoff” Stirling Jr., who was shot and killed during a confrontation with police following a traffic stop, the Real Housewives of Orange County alum shared what she is taking comfort in amid her ongoing grief.
“Yesterday, we laid my brother to rest. Just six months ago, we stood in this same place, grieving the loss of my mom,” Lydia, 44, wrote on Instagram May 5 alongside a photo of her brother and video of family members releasing doves at the cemetery. “My heart is broken, and the shock still hasn’t settled.”
“But even in the sorrow, I cling to what I know is true: God is good. He is in control. I am not,” she continued. “My brother is now with my mom, and I hold onto the promise that one day, we’ll all be reunited. Until then, I will miss them every single day.”
Geoff was shot and killed following a confrontation with police during a traffic stop in Southern California on April 17.
