Influencer thanks supporters while navigating grief and setting new boundaries

Gratitude Amid Heartache

September 27, 2025: Emilie Kiser broke her silence after the tragic death of her 3-year-old son Trigg, responding to fans who’ve expressed concern for her husband, Brady Kiser, in the wake of their loss. In a heartfelt message shared on social media, Emilie thanked followers for their compassion and support toward her family during this deeply painful time.

“The Internet Can Be a Dark Place”

In her post, Emilie acknowledged how overwhelming social media can be, writing, “The internet can be such a dark place”, but expressed   gratitude that many in her comment section had instead offered a space of comfort and kindness. She noted that the messages checking in on Brady were especially meaningful, saying she and her family are feeling the weight of grief but are bolstered by community care.

Wearing Her Son Close to Her Heart

During her return to social media, Emilie appeared wearing a necklace engraved with her late son’s name, Trigg, as a subtle tribute. She admitted to being “really nervous” about posting again. Although she plans to continue sharing parts of her journey, she also emphasized the importance of boundaries and balancing what she shares publicly.

Supporting Others and Setting New Limits

Emilie extended words of support to anyone following her who is also dealing with loss. She wrote, “If anyone who follows me or reads this is dealing with loss, I’m here for you,” offering empathy and encouragement. At the same time, she underscored the need for boundary-setting—she won’t chronicle every emotion or private moment, prioritizing healing and privacy over public performance.

A Family’s Journey Through Grief

While Emilie has taken on much of the public emotional labor, the acknowledgments toward Brady suggest her awareness of the joint nature of their loss. As they continue navigating what many would call the unbearable, Emily’s measured openness speaks to a delicate balance between vulnerability, accountability, and protecting what remains of their family’s peace.
