Emilie Kiser reflected on sharing her late son Trigg’s clothes with his younger brother following her eldest child’s tragic death.
Kiser, 26, shared a TikTok on Tuesday, December 30, showing her unpacking after a family roadtrip. In the comments, Kiser was asked if she put her 9-month-old son, Teddy, in Trigg’s “hand me downs” following her first-born son’s death.
“I feel like that would give me a little bit of happiness. Not sure how it would make you feel. Sending you so much love Emilie!! ❤️❤️,” the rest of the comment read, to which Kiser replied, “Yes I do❤️.”
Emilie has slowly made the return to social media after news broke in May that her and husband Brady Kiser’s eldest son died after he was found unconscious in the pool at the family’s Arizona home. While authorities submitted a criminal charge recommendation for Brady, 28, who was at the house with both sons when the fatal incident occurred, no charges were ever filed.
In a statement shared by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, they confirmed there was “no likelihood of conviction.” Brady’s attorney later publicly thanked officials for a thorough investigation and referred to the case as “a tragic accident.”
Emilie took a break from the public eye before addressing the incident on social media.
“Loss of this magnitude feels impossible to put into words,” Kiser wrote via Instagram in August. “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.”
She continued: “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. I never thought we would experience grief in this way or the pain of losing him so suddenly.”
At the time, Emilie took “full accountability as Trigg’s mother,” adding, “I know I should 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.”
A source recently told Us Weekly how Emilie and Brady’s marriage was affected by the tragedy.
“They have gone through the worst tragedy you could ever experience as parents and they are doing their best to come together as a family,” the insider shared about how Emilie and Brady “have been thoughtfully working on their relationship” for months. “This holiday season is so important to bring a sense of normal for their family. And they’re still keeping things private as they work to be the best parents they can to Teddy.”
Emilie has continued to engage with her followers — including when asked hard questions such as how her family has reacted to Brady since Trigg’s death.
“My entire family loves him so much,” she wrote via TikTok comments earlier this month. “If anything their unwavering love for him and Trigg, is something that has helped us so much to come together as a family.”
