Grieving Mother Shares Emotional Journey After Toddler's Tragic Drowning

In October 2025, 26-year-old influencer Emilie Kiser is openly sharing her grief journey after the tragic drowning of her 3-year-old son Trigg. Just over a year ago, in May 2024, Trigg fatally drowned in the family's backyard pool in Arizona. The investigation into the incident was closed the following month, with no charges filed against Kiser's husband, who was home at the time.

Kiser has been candid about the immense pain of losing her "baby and best friend." She revealed that she attended a grief retreat shortly after Trigg's passing and chose not to pursue medication as a coping mechanism. Instead, Kiser has been in therapy, finding solace in speaking with professionals about her unimaginable loss.

Despite the unbearable grief, Kiser has continued to move forward as a family with her husband and their 6-month-old son, Theodore. In August 2025, she returned to social media, acknowledging that the "loss of this magnitude feels impossible to put into words." Kiser takes full accountability as Trigg's mother, hoping that his story will help prevent other families from experiencing the same tragedy.
