According to Emilie, reaching that point required her to confront a painful realization.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis could have just as easily been me in Brady\u2019s position,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
At the time of the incident, Emilie was not at home. Brady was caring for both Trigg and the couple\u2019s newborn son, Teddy.<\/p>\n
Kiser acknowledged that her empathy for her husband did not erase the reality of what happened.<\/p>\n
Brady was taking care of our newborn child. When I left for dinner that night, he was de-thawing my breast milk, trying to get Teddy settled, a 5-week-old baby,\u201d Emilie explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat doesn\u2019t excuse anything. It doesn\u2019t excuse what happened. It doesn\u2019t excuse any of the series of events after that,\u201d she continued. <\/p>\n
\nStill, she said recognizing the ways circumstances could have unfolded differently helped her develop compassion for her husband during an unimaginable period of grief.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut taking that accountability, along with all the other things I know I could have changed, gave me so much true, deep, real, raw empathy for him of, this could have been me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kiser admitted there was a time when she wondered if her marriage would survive the devastating loss.<\/p>\n
She said that even if their roles had been reversed, she would have hoped for forgiveness because she knows neither parent intended for the tragedy to happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s exactly how I feel for Brady,\u201d she said. \u201cI really just have so much empathy and love for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The influencer also praised her husband for the way he has handled the family\u2019s grief.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is so strong,\u201d she said, adding that she is \u201creally proud of us\u201d and the way they have navigated the loss together.<\/p>\n
Our thoughts are with Emilie and Brady as they continue to navigate their healing journey together.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
