EMILIE KISER EXCLUSIVE: The Loss That Changed Her Forever
In a Nutshell
Emilie Kiser recounts the preventable drowning death of her young son Trek, describing the immediate chaos, public scrutiny, and the permanent grief that has no finish line. She emphasizes that drowning is the leading cause of death for children under three and urges parents to install pool fences, use door alarms, and enroll kids in ISR swim lessons rather than relying on constant supervision. Her core message is that this tragedy can happen to anyone, so the only way to honor Trek is to spread awareness and build multiple safety barriers so other families never experience the same loss.

Emilie received a phone call from her husband stating that their son Trek had fallen in the pool and was not breathing. Their entire world fell apart. There is no way to describe to someone what it's like losing a child. They did not think they would make it through that.
Emilie has invited many people into her life with honesty, warmth, and openness. Over the past year, she has walked through a life-altering experience that reshaped her world in ways no one is ever prepared for.
Emilie stated she is nervous and honored to be there. She feels okay.
As a mom, Emilie's priority day-to-day is taking care of her younger son Teddy. Her day-to-day is pretty normal. She wakes up and works out every day because she knows the good endorphins help her mentally throughout the day, and she notices a really big difference if she does not do that. She spends the rest of her day with her son and goes wherever it leads. She has learned throughout her grief journey that she cannot have too many expectations for herself, so she sets small intentions and goes where the day leads.
Emilie has a large platform. Going through what her family has been through this past year, nothing has felt like an appropriate place to talk about fully in depth what happened, what her family has been through, how much they miss Trek, and how much they love him. When asked to come on the show, she felt this was a person she could sit down with and have a really in-depth, meaningful conversation that will hopefully help people, spread awareness, and help her heal.
