TikTok Mom Emilie Kiser Speaks Out for First Time Since 3-Year-Old Son's Tragic Drowning Death: 'I Should Have Done More to Protect Him'

Emilie Kiser has returned to social media for the first time since her and husband Brady Kiser's 3-year-old son, Trigg, tragically died after drowning in the family's backyard pool in May.

"Loss of this magnitude feels impossible to put into words. I’ve spent days, weeks, months trying to find them and also take the time I’ve needed to digest the loss of my baby," the TikTok star — who gave birth to her and Brady's second child, a baby boy named Theodore, in March — expressed in a message shared online on Thursday, August 28.

"Trigg is our baby and our best friend. The light and spirit he brought into this world was bright, pure, joyful and undeniable. We miss him every second of every day and continuing forward often feels unbearable," Emilie continued. "I never thought we would experience grief in this way or the pain of losing him so suddenly. It’s a pain, heartache and void that no family should ever have to endure."

The influencer took "full accountability as Trigg’s mother" for the accident, as she admitted: "I know I should I have done more to protect him."

"One of the hardest lessons I carry is that a permanent pool fence could have saved his life, and it’s something I will never overlook again. I hope amidst this pain, Trigg’s story will help prevent other children and families from suffering the same loss," Emilie noted.

Emilie proceeded to thank her family for the "support" they have given her.

"We would not be getting through this without you. The way you show up is something we will never be able to repay or thank you enough for. We truly have the best and most supportive friends and family who have, quite literally, carried us through this and continue to do so daily," she confessed.

Emilie additionally thanked her fans for all of the "kind messages" and "outpouring of love" for her family.

"The only way through grief is to keep going minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day and every moment since that day I’ve done my best to keep picking myself up," she said.

Emilie shared: "When I started on social media in 2021 as a new mom, my goal was to connect with other moms and find a community. I have found that and so much more through all of you. I found a community, a hobby I love and a job I am so grateful for. I have always been my authentic self on social media and tried my best to share my everyday life honestly, while also being mindful of what I didn't choose to share. I have now seen through this tragedy how relationships online lack boundaries, especially in protecting children's privacy. Moving forward, I will be establishing more boundaries with what I share online."

In the future, the young mom hopes she can be in a "place to share more about how I am navigating this grief."

"But right now all I can say is thank you for the love, compassion, patience and space you've given us to grieve. I am more grateful for it than can ever be expressed," she concluded.
