Emilie Kiser is sharing more about her “grief journey,” five months after the death of her 3-year-old son Trigg in May.
In a post to her Instagram Stories on Oct. 7, the Arizona-based content creator shared that she was heading to a therapy appointment and that she “had the random urge to say thank you to all health professionals.”
“The strength you carry helping others each day is something that makes me emotional, especially now thinking about our/my grief journey and what I talk to my therapist about,” wrote Kiser. “You guys are amazing🤍.”

The post comes less than three weeks after the influencer returned to social media following a hiatus after the death of her son and a series of legal battles over the public release of information related to the incident.
In May, Trigg died after a drowning incident in Kiser and her husband Brady’s backyard pool. That month, Emilie filed a lawsuit to keep records about her son’s death out of public view, and the Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County ruled in the influencer’s favor on a separate motion she filed to keep her personal declaration private.
In her May plea, which was later made public in August, Emilie described helicopters circling over her home and said she and her husband were “deeply concerned about the release of specific information and our ability to even start to heal.”

In August, the Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County ruled in favor of Emilie’s filing to remove the two pages of the CPD’s police report that included recommendations for Brady to be charged with a class 4 felony of child abuse after the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office announced that there was “no likelihood of conviction” against Brady.
Brady, who was the only parent home at the time of the drowning, initially said that he had lost sight of Trigg for three to five minutes before finding him in the pool, though a report by the CPD later cited video evidence that Trigg “was in the backyard unsupervised for more than nine minutes, and in the water for about seven of those minutes.”
After an extended hiatus, Emilie returned to social media on Aug. 28 with her first public statement since her son’s death. “I’ve spent days, weeks, months trying to find them [the right words] and also take the time I’ve needed to digest the loss of my baby,” she wrote.

She followed up the statement on Sept. 20, sharing a house “reset” video — the kind of content she is most known for online — and candidly admitted she was “really nervous” to begin posting online again.
“I know that might sound silly to a lot of people, but I really do love this community that we have here and I hope that in coming back and sharing a little bit of what I choose to, I can reconnect with you guys and hopefully help anyone who is maybe going through a similar situation,” she said in the post.
In an additional post a few days later, Emilie thanked her followers for their kind words as she navigated her return.
“I have been truly blown away by the love, comfort, and support,” she wrote. “I appreciate so many of you sharing your similar experiences and your own stories of how you have dealt with grief and loss.”
