Emilie Kiser’s return to social media

“I have missed truly getting to just like chat with you guys every day,” Emilie said in the video, posted days after the tragedy. “I 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,” she added. “I have obviously been offline for the last little bit. I’m just doing my best every day to figure this out, figure my life out, so I’m just taking it day by day.”

Kiser said she is not sure how much she would want to share, especially about her “grief journey,” and that the last thing she would want to do is “get on the Internet and cry.”

“I’m just not ready right now, I don’t know when I’ll be ready, um but if you are going through anything similar, I just want to say that I love you and I’m here for you and I understand how hard it is. So yeah, just wanted to get some of that off my chest, but I have some time right now so we’re gonna reset this house for the week ahead. I’m excited to do so,” she added.
