Emilie Kiser Tearfully Reflects on Her Grief Journey Months After Losing 3-Year-Old Son Trigg: “Grief Is All the Love You Have for That Person”
Emilie Kiser continues to open her heart to millions who have followed her story since the heartbreaking loss of her 3-year-old son, Trigg, earlier this year. In a recent emotional video shared with her followers, the influencer spoke candidly about her grief and what it has been like to face life after unimaginable loss. Her words, soft but filled with emotion, carried the kind of truth that only those who have experienced deep sorrow could fully understand.
“It’s been five months,” she said through tears, pausing for a moment as she tried to gather herself. “Some days feel okay, and then some days it hits me all over again. I’m learning to see grief as a friend — it doesn’t want to be here either, but it’s here because of how much I loved him.”
Her message was both tender and raw. Emilie described attending a recent grief retreat, a space where she could connect with other parents who had experienced similar losses. She shared how comforting it was to sit among people who didn’t need her to explain what she felt — people who simply knew. “It reminded me that grief is not something you move past. It’s something you learn to carry,” she said softly.
Trigg, Emilie’s little boy, passed away in May at just three years old. Since then, she has used her platform not only to honor his memory but also to help others who are grieving their own losses. Photos of her smiling with Trigg and her husband, their faces full of warmth, now serve as a bittersweet reminder of love that continues beyond life.
In her post, Emilie reflected on one of the most profound realizations she’s had during her healing process. “Grief is all the love you have for that person, but with nowhere to go,” she said. “It’s love that doesn’t stop, it just changes form.” The quote has since been shared widely, resonating deeply with thousands who find strength in her vulnerability.
Emilie has always been open about mental health and family life, but since losing Trigg, her content has taken on a new depth. She’s honest about how grief doesn’t follow a schedule — how joy, sorrow, and guilt can all exist at once. “There are moments when I laugh, and then I cry right after,” she admitted. “It’s confusing, but that’s what grief is. It’s unpredictable. It’s messy. And it’s human.”
Fans have flooded her comments with messages of love and empathy, many thanking her for giving words to what they’ve struggled to express. “You’ve helped me feel less alone,” one follower wrote. “Your strength reminds me that it’s okay to grieve and still find light.” Others shared their own stories of loss, turning Emilie’s post into a quiet, digital memorial — a community built on shared heartbreak and healing.
Her journey is not one of moving on, but of moving forward. She continues to find ways to honor Trigg’s memory — through photos, reflections, and moments of connection with others who understand. “I’ll never stop being his mom,” she said. “That’s forever. That love doesn’t end.”
In her most recent reflection, Emilie encouraged her followers to be gentle with themselves, whether they are grieving or supporting someone who is. “Grief doesn’t want to be here,” she said again, her voice trembling but steady. “It’s just a reminder of how deeply we loved — and that love is something that even death can’t take away.”
Her story is one of heartbreak, but also of hope — proof that even in the depths of pain, love continues to shine quietly, unbroken.
