Emilie Kiser Returns to TikTok After 3-Year-Old Son Trigg’s Tragic Death
Emilie Kiser is sharing her gratitude.
Nearly a month after she broke her silence on the tragic death of her 3-year-old son Trigg Kiser, who died after accidentally drowning in the family’s pool in May, the influencer shared she is thankful “from the bottom of my heart” for the response she has received to her statement.
“I have been truly blown away by the love, comfort, and support,” Emilie wrote on her Instagram Story Sept. 23. “I appreciate so many of you sharing your similar experiences and your own stories of how you have dealt with grief and loss.”
The 26-year-old—who is also mom to 6-month-old son Theodore Kiser with husband Brady Kiser—added, “The internet can be such a dark place, and in moments like this, I am reminded how much good there can be in the support and community that we can all give each other.”
Emilie also noted how she wanted to repay the favor to others in need.
“If anyone who follows me or reads this is dealing with loss, I just want to say that I am here for you,” she continued, “and I hope you are getting the love and support you need.”
While Emilie’s statement last month detailed the “impossible” loss and “accountability” she feels following Trigg’s death, she formally returned to TikTok over the weekend.

“Not gonna lie, I’m really nervous right now,” Emilie, wearing a necklace with Trigg’s name on it, said in the Sept. 20 video. “I don’t really know if there’s any right way to start this video, but I’m going to do my best.”
“I’m not going to act like things are fine and dandy, and I don’t want it to come off that way with me coming back and making content again,” she explained. “This is really therapeutic for me. I miss talking to you guys, but I don’t know what that’s going to fully look like.”
Emilie also acknowledged the new boundaries she’ll have on social media going forward, noting she likely won’t be disclosing every detail about her “grief journey.”
“The last thing I want to do is get on the internet, cry and say every single way that I’m feeling because I’m really just trying to process everything as best as I can,” the influencer shared. “If you are going through anything similar, I just want to say that I love you, I’m here for you and I understand how hard it is.”
