Warning: This article contains discussion of child loss which some readers may find distressing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Emilie Kiser has spoken out on her decision not to publicly discuss the death of her toddler, Trigg, who died by drowning earlier this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On May 12, three-year-old Trigg fell into the Kiser family\u2019s backyard pool<\/a>, after which emergency responders were dispatched and administered CPR.<\/p>\n

The Arizona<\/a>-based child was quickly taken to Chandler Regional Medical Center and then to Phoenix Children’s Hospital in critical condition after the tragic incident.<\/p>\n

Six days later (May 18), Trigg was pronounced dead, with Sonu Wasu, CPD’s public information officer, stating: “Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the child’s family and loved ones during this unimaginable time.\u201d<\/p>\n

After initially retreating from posting family-friendly content online, Trigg\u2019s mother, popular influencer Kiser<\/a>, 26, broke her silence in August, thanking fans for the \u2018love and compassion\u2019<\/a> they\u2019d shown her.<\/p>\n

Emilie Kiser has spoken out about grief and posting online again after the death of her son (Instagram\/emiliekiser)<\/cite><\/div>\n

On September 20, the social media<\/a> star returned to the platform with videos featuring her and husband Brady Kiser<\/a>\u2019s newborn son, Theodore, as well as content centered around shopping<\/a> and trying new coffee shops.<\/p>\n

In her latest clip<\/a>, Kiser has opened up about losing her firstborn child.<\/p>\n

She remarked on criticism she\u2019d received since returning to the online sphere, claiming in a clip, posted on Monday (October 13).: \u201cUnless you have lost someone and gone through grief, you will not understand what you would do or how you would act.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody loses someone or something at some point in their lives, but losing a child is literally the worst pain. And I would not want anybody to go through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The influencer said fans only see a ‘slither’ of her reality online (Instagram\/emiliekiser)<\/cite><\/div>\n

The online mogul claimed she was hurt by people commenting on her videos that she hadn\u2019t \u2018opened up\u2019 or \u2018grieved\u2019 the tragedy properly.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor people to say, \u2018If this were me, I would just be crippled and I would be thinking about them all day and I wouldn\u2019t be able to continue on,\u2019 do you not think that everywhere I look in my house, I don\u2019t see my child?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis photos are everywhere. His artwork is everywhere. \u2026 I love that because he\u2019s my child and I never want to forget him. But I\u2019m not showing that on camera. I\u2019m not showing you all those things.\u201d<\/p>\n

She explained that she would no longer be sharing Theodore, whom she nicknamed as Teddy, and told fans she is \u2018not ready to share other things\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not ready to talk about other things. And that is OK. Those are the things I am unpacking in my therapy sessions and with professionals and with my family.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose are not things I think I should be coming on the internet and unpacking with millions of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The social media star said she isn’t up for discussing her grieving process with ‘millions of people’ online(Instagram\/emiliekiser)<\/cite><\/div>\n

Kiser reiterated that she is \u2018very much processing the loss of [her] son\u2019 and that while people are \u2018entitled to say what they want about [her] grief journey, they don\u2019t necessarily see the \u2018full scope of things\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am sharing the moments that I can bear to film and that I want to film, because it kind of helps me step out of my reality for a second, and do my job, which I very much enjoy. I genuinely enjoy content creation. That\u2019s why I do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that while she believed she didn\u2019t \u2018need\u2019 to \u2018defend\u2019 her decision, she wanted to remind viewers that what she \u2018chooses\u2019 to share \u2018could not be further\u2019 from her life.<\/p>\n

Months after Trigg\u2019s death, officials submitted a criminal<\/a> charge recommendation for Brady, who police stated was home watching sports when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n

They wanted to charge the grieving father with one count of child abuse, a Class Four Felony.<\/p>\n

A statement shared<\/a> by the Maricopa County Attorney\u2019s Office later confirmed there was \u2018no likelihood of conviction\u2019.<\/p>\n
