Riley Keough who is the granddaughter of the late music legend Elvis Presley, has opened up about how her mother coped with loss of her son Benjamin Keogh, Riley's brother. Benjamin Keogh died from suicide in 2020 aged 27.
Following Benjamin's death, Lisa Marie wrote about Benjamin's death in an essay for National Grief Awareness Day.
"Since I have been living in the horrific reality of its unrelenting grips since my son's death two years ago, I thought I would share a few things to be aware of in regard to grief for anyone who is interested," she wrote. She also added that it's important to understand that people don't "get over" or "move on" from losing someone they loved.
Last year, Lisa Marie-Presley died from natural causes, with a post mortem confirming that she died from a small bowel obstruction, causing a cardiac arrest.
"My mom tried her best to find strength for me and my younger sisters after Ben died, but we knew how much pain she was in", Riley said. "My mom physically died from the after-effects of her surgery, but we all knew she died of a broken heart".
Lisa Marie Presley is survived by Riley, as well as her 15 year old twins, Finley and Harper, who she shared with her ex husband Michael Lockwood.
