Emilie Kiser on how she forgave her husband in first interview since son’s tragic death

According to a police report obtained by Arizona Republic, Trigg tripped and fell into the water while playing unsupervised with an inflatable chair.

At the time her husband Brady was at home alone with their two children.

It was reported dad Brady pulled Trigg from the pool and began CPR immediately until paramedics arrived.

The toddler was rushed to hospital in a critical condition and sadly died six days later, as confirmed by the Maricopa County medical examiner.

Emilie recently spoke candidly on a recent episode of Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast and revealed how she forgave her husband after the tragic accident. 

“When you lose your child, you really don’t care about anything else besides doing your best to get through it,” Kiser said. 

“And there’s not even a ‘through it’. You don’t get through it.”

Throughout the last year, Emilie admitted she’s given her husband a lot of empathy and it’s been a lot for both of them. 

“We’ve really done our best to grieve together and to talk through every emotion and every feeling. I really give Brady so much empathy and respect. I have so much respect for him, honestly, and I think that would maybe shock people,” Emilie explained. 

“But he has allowed me to take out every emotion I’ve had throughout this process, whether it’s on him or talking to him or with other people.”
