Emilie Kiser EXCLUSIVE: The Loss That Changed Her Forever

What was said

"This could have just as easily happened to me. This could have just as easily been me in Brady's position. Brady was taking care of our newborn child. When I left for dinner that night, he was dethawing my breast milk."

Emily Kaiser detailed the complex process of forgiving her husband Brady after their son Trigg drowned while in his care. She explained he was caring for their five-week-old newborn when the accident occurred and acknowledged the situation could have been reversed. Despite initial anger and uncertainty about their marriage, she chose empathy after realizing she would want the same forgiveness.
