This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
What was Emilie's life like before the loss of her son?
Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?
How did Emilie cope with the unimaginable pain of losing her child?
Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts.
What lessons can be learned from navigating grief in the public eye?
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know. Tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Joy is essential and it's also elusive. But now there's a new and exciting way to start your journey toward a more joyful existence. Joy 101. It's a new podcast hosted by me, Hoda Kotb. If you're craving inspiration to maximize your joy, tune into these candid, uplifting, and moving on-air chats. Open your free iHeartRadio app, search Joy 101, and listen now. Joy 101 with Hoda Kotb is presented by CVS.
I got a phone call from my husband that our son Trick had fallen in the pool and that he wasn't breathing. Our whole world fell apart. There is no way to describe to someone what it's like losing a child. We did not think we would make it through that.
Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose, the place you come to become happier, healthier, and more healed. You know the thing that's most important to me is sharing real stories that allow individuals to express their journeys, express their challenges, express the lives that they've lived in a way that uplifts, inspires, and most importantly, heals all of us.
What strategies help in healing from loss day by day?
Today I get to sit down with Emily Kaiser. Emily has invited so many people into her life with honesty, warmth, and openness. And over the past year, she's walked through a life-altering experience, one that reshaped her world in ways no one is ever prepared for. Please welcome to On Purpose, Emily Kaiser.
How can parents support each other while grieving?
Emily, so wonderful to meet you.
You too. I'm really grateful to be here.
Your energy since you walked in this morning is so warm and cozy and comforting. And I felt like I'd known you forever.
What boundaries should be set when sharing grief online?
I appreciate that.
It was just so sweet, but I wanted to start off by just asking you, how are you today?
I'm nervous. I'm honored to be here. Yeah, I feel okay.
What does your normal day-to-day look like right now?
I'm a mom, so my priority day to day is taking care of my younger son, Teddy. So my day to day is pretty normal. I wake up, I work out, I try to work out every day just because I know those like good endorphins will help me mentally throughout the day. And I notice a really big difference if I don't do that.
What is the significance of keeping a loved one's memory alive?
And then I kind of just spend the rest of my day with my son and just wherever it leads me. I've learned throughout a lot of my group journey that I just can't have too many expectations for myself. So I just have to set small intentions and go where the day leads me.
Yeah. And what was your intention for coming here today? Like what was going through your mind to want to come and share now and today?
I have a large platform and going through what we've been through this past year, just honestly, nothing has felt like an appropriate place to talk about fully in depth what happened, what our family's been through, just how much we miss Trigg, how much we love him. It just it honestly hasn't felt right. And I feel like when you asked me to come, I I really felt like, OK, yeah, this is like a person that I can sit down with and have a really in-depth, meaningful conversation that will hopefully help people spread awareness, help me to maybe heal in a way.
Yeah, I really hope that this conversation is healing for all of us and kind and healing for you as well. Yeah. We'll talk about the loss in a moment, but talk to me about what life was like before the loss. Talk to me about creating or sharing your life online in 2021. What did it look like? What was the motivation behind that? What was the inspiration behind all of that?
The whole motivation always behind starting social media was honestly that I just needed an outlet.
