PHOENIX — Emilie Kiser is opening up in her first video since her son, Trigg, drowned in their backyard pool. 

Kiser, a Valley social media influencer with millions of followers, said in the new video that she is just doing her best to try to understand her new reality. 

“I’m just doing my best every day to figure this out, figure my life out, so I’m just taking it day by day. I am going to do the same thing with my content,” Kiser said. 

A necklace bearing Trigg’s name is prominent in the video. 

“Obviously, you guys know that the last few months have been really, really hard, and I’m not going to sugar coat it, I’m not going to lie, I’m not going to sit here and 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,” Kiser said. “This is really therapeutic for me. I miss talking to you guys.”

Kiser opened up about not being ready to share everything with her followers. 

“I don’t know how much I am going to be willing to share, especially about my grief journey,” Kiser said. “The last thing I want to do is honestly put myself in a position where I’m sharing too much or I’m not ready to share stuff and I share it.”

Kiser’s son tripped and drowned in the backyard pool of their Chandler home. She had filed a lawsuit to block the release of certain government records about her son’s death. 

Kiser previously wrote on social media that her son’s death is “the most severe and emotional event” she has ever experienced and that it has devastated her entire family.
