I don\u2019t even really know what to say,\u201d Kiser, who is from Arizona, began.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cI\u2019m gonna be honest, it\u2019s been a minute since I\u2019ve obviously come on here. Not gonna lie, I\u2019m really nervous right now. I don\u2019t really know if there\u2019s any, like, right way to start this video, but I\u2019m gonna do my best. Just first off, wanna say thank you if you\u2019re here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">She went on to say that during her time away from the camera, she\u2019s really missed \u201cgetting to chat\u201d with her 4.4 million followers every day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cI know that might sound silly to a lot of people, but I really do love this community that we have here, and I hope that in coming back and sharing a little bit of what I choose to, I can reconnect with you guys and hopefully help anyone who is maybe going through a similar situation,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p><img  alt=\"She did a \u2018house reset\u2019 video and chatted with her followers.

Photo \/ EmilieKiser, TikTok<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">She also mentioned that while she\u2019s returning to social media, she has no plans to mislead anyone about what happened, and on the flip side \u2013 share every personal detail about her life online from now on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cI\u2019m just doing my best every day to figure this out, figure my life out, so I\u2019m just taking it day by day. I\u2019m going to do the same thing with my content, just take it day by day,\u201d the mum added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cObviously, you guys know that the last few months have been really, really hard, and I\u2019m not gonna sugar-coat it. I\u2019m not gonna lie, I\u2019m not gonna sit here and act like things are fine and dandy, and I don\u2019t want it to come off that way with me coming back and making content again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img  alt=\"Her husband, Brady, was home at the time of the accident.

Photo \/ EmilieKiser, TikTok<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">She also mentioned that getting back to regular programming was somewhat therapeutic, despite not knowing fully what it will look like.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cI don\u2019t know how much I\u2019m going to be willing to share, especially about my grief journey. The last thing I want to do is, honestly, put myself in a position where I\u2019m sharing too much, or I\u2019m not ready to share stuff and I share it,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cThe last thing I want to do is get on the internet and cry and like say every single way that I\u2019m feeling because I\u2019m really just trying to process everything as best as I can, day by day, but there are so many things that I do want to talk about, especially with my platform, and I want to talk to you guys about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cI\u2019m just not ready right now. I don\u2019t know when I\u2019ll be ready, but if you are going through anything similar, I just want to say that I love you and I\u2019m here for you, and I understand how hard it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">She then got back into her usual routine, doing a thorough clean of her house, starting with the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms and putting out fresh flowers and lighting a candle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">Commenters flooded the post with support, including many of Kiser\u2019s high-profile friends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cWe are all here for you mama, there is no right way, it\u2019s only your way period,\u201d Taylor Paul wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cSending you all the love,\u201d Nara Smith added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cI\u2019m so happy you\u2019re here,\u201d said Whitney Simmons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">It was the first time the parenting and lifestyle influencer had spoken out on social media since Trigg\u2019s death, which followed a drowning incident in the couple\u2019s backyard pool on May 12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">Her husband Brady, who was home alone at the time of the incident, initially claimed to have lost sight of Trigg for three to five minutes before finding him in the pool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">However, the police report later cited video evidence that Trigg had been unsupervised in the backyard for more than nine minutes, and in the water for about seven of those minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">Police reports claim that Brady made a $25 sports bet on an NBA game around the time of the incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">According to the report, Trigg tripped and fell into the pool. When Brady found his son at the bottom of the pool, he placed their newborn son down and jumped in to retrieve him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">He then performed CPR before calling emergency services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\">Trigg was hospitalised after the incident and died six days later on May 18.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kqzEwDUUT\" style=\"display:none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nzherald.co.nz\/my-account\/profile\/newsletters\/?from=cmp\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nzherald.co.nz\/my-account\/profile\/newsletters\/?from=cmp\">Sign up to Herald Premium Editor\u2019s Picks<\/a>, delivered straight to your inbox every Friday.
