Influencer Emily Kisser has issued a heartbreaking statement about the death of her three-year-old son, Trigg.
The toddler was found to be unresponsive in a backyard swimming pool in Chandler, Arizona on May 12th.
Kiser wrote via Instagram on Thursday that his son’s loss “is impossible to put words in.”
“I spent the time I needed to find days, weeks, months and digest my baby’s loss,” she added in a long note that comments were turned off.
“Trigg is our baby and our best friend,” continued the social media star. “The light and spirit he brought to this world was bright, pure, fun and undeniable.”
Kaiser, who shares her five-month-old son Theodore with her husband Brady Kaiser, said she and her family would miss her eldest son.
“We never thought we would experience this kind of sadness or the pain of losing him suddenly. It’s the pain, heartache, and ineffectiveness that our family has to endure,” she said.
Emily said she would take “full accountability as Trigg’s mother” about what happened to him.
“I know I should have done more to protect him. One of the most difficult lessons I have is that a permanent pool fence could save his life.
“In this pain, I hope Trigg’s story will help prevent other children and families from suffering from the same loss.”
Trigg died while his father Brady was distracted and was in a sports bet for an NBA game. However, the patriarch avoided the accusation because “there is no reasonable possibility of belief.”
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office explained, “The state must demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt to the unanimous ju Court that a person has failed to recognize a substantial and unjust risk, and that his failure to recognize a risk, is a total deviation from standard care presented by a reasonable person.”
In her statement, Emily thanked her family for their “support” and “unconditional love” during this period.
“The way you show up is that we can never do anything we can’t pay back or be grateful for. We really have the best and most supportive friends and family who literally take us through this and continue doing it every day,” she added before thanking her followers.
“The only way through grief is to do your best to keep yourself picking up for a minute, hourly, day by day, and every day from that day,” the influencer continued.
Emily concluded her post by sharing that she establishes the “boundaries” surrounding what she shares online, but she hopes she will be more open about “navigating this grief.”
