Influencer Emilie Kiser has returned to TikTok, four months after the tragic death of her son, Trigg, who died in May after drowning in the family pool. The little boy was just three years old.

"Hello! I don't even know what to say," Emilie, who was wearing a pendant with her late son's name, began the video, adding:

"It's been a while since I last came on here (on TikTok). I'm not going to lie, I'm really nervous right now. I'm not sure if there's a proper way to start this video, but I'll do my best."

She added that she had really missed the people with whom she had built a community on TikTok.

“I have really missed talking to you every day. I really love this community we have created here and I hope that by coming back and sharing what I choose to share, I can reconnect with you and maybe, help someone else who is going through a similar situation.”

Emilie emphasized: "I've been offline for a while. I'm trying every day to figure out how to move forward, how to rebuild my life."

Noting how difficult the last few months have been, Emilie emphasized that she "has no intention of hiding the pain or faking it in her videos."

“I’m not going to act like everything is okay and I don’t want it to seem that way with the fact that I’m coming back and creating content on TikTok again. This is very therapeutic for me. I miss talking to you, but I don’t know what this is going to look like going forward. I don’t know how much I’m ready to share, especially when it comes to my journey with pain.”

The influencer admitted that she is still "trying to process everything that happened, every day, in the best way she can."

"I don't know when I'll be completely ready. If you're going through something similar, I just want to tell you that I love you, I'm here for you, and I understand how hard it is."

Before the video ended, she took a moment to clean the house.

“I’m a little short on time right now, so we’re going to clean up the house for next week,” she concluded. “I’m excited about it. I always feel better when I start the week with a clean house, so let’s clean together. If you want to see me clean, keep watching me.”

Trigg was found unconscious in the family pool in Arizona by his father, Brady Kiser. According to the police report, Trigg had been left unattended in the yard for more than 9 minutes and had been “in the water for 7 of those minutes.”

He was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead on May 18. At the time, Brady was the only parent at home with Trigg and the couple's other son, Theodore, 6 months old. Brady, according to the report, had placed a $25 bet on an NBA game (New York Knicks) more than an hour before Trigg drowned in the backyard pool. He won $102.50 on that bet.

Chandler, Arizona, police reported that Brady's "attention was 'divided' between caring for the children and watching the game."

After Trigg's death, Emilie Kiser filed a lawsuit against several institutions in Arizona to keep the details of her son's death private.

She spoke publicly for the first time in August:

“Trigg is our baby and our best friend. The light and spirit he brought into this world was bright, pure and full of joy. We miss him every second, every day and moving forward often becomes unbearable! I never thought we would experience pain in this way, so suddenly. It is a pain, sadness and emptiness that no family should ever have to experience.”

She continued: “I take full responsibility as Trigg's mother and I know I should have done more to protect him. One of the most painful lessons I learned is that a permanent safety fence for the pool could have saved his life and that is something I will never ignore again. I hope that, amidst this pain, Trigg's story helps prevent the loss of other children and prevents other families from experiencing such pain.”
