Shocking revelation about Lisa Marie Presley unveiled.
Lisa Marie Presley’s world was rocked by tragedy after the suicide of her son, Benjamin Keough.
Benjamin Keough’s legacy explained.
Benjamin, who passed away at 27 in August 2020, was cherished deeply by Lisa.
Lisa Marie was just 54 years old when she died earlier this year, leaving behind a legacy marred by loss.
Lisa’s relationship with her son was profound, shaped by her own turbulent childhood and the shadow of her famous father, Elvis Presley.
Growing up as the daughter of Elvis, Lisa faced immense public scrutiny and loss.
The death of her father in 1977 left a profound impact on her life, influencing her music and motherhood.
Benjamin’s death reopened those wounds, forcing Lisa to confront her own vulnerabilities.
Riley’s mission in memoir exposed.
Now, new revelations from a memoir co-authored by her daughter, Riley Keough, expose the extent of Lisa’s grief.
Riley, who co-authored the memoir, aimed to portray her mother as a “three-dimensional human being.”
In a recent interview, she expressed her determination to share a more nuanced narrative.
“What she wanted to do in her memoir is to reveal the core of who she was,” Riley stated.
To honor Benjamin, Riley and Lisa got matching tattoos, each representing their bond.
In a surreal moment, Riley recalled asking a tattoo artist to look at Benjamin’s body for a matching design.
“This moment is in the top five of my extremely absurd life,” she reflected.
Unimaginable decision revealed.
The memoir, titled From Here to the Great Unknown, details an unimaginable decision: Lisa kept Benjamin’s body in her home for two months.
This shocking choice, documented in the memoir, highlights the depths of her sorrow.
In the memoir, she revealed that Benjamin was kept in a “separate casitas bedroom.”
No immediate burial law exposed.
Lisa wrote, “There is no law in the state of California that you have to bury someone immediately.”
The funeral home owner assured her, “We’ll bring Ben Ben to you,” allowing her to keep him close.
To preserve his body, Lisa kept it at a chilling 55 degrees using dry ice.
“I got used to caring for him in the room before he was laid to rest,” she wrote.
This intimate arrangement highlights a mother’s bond with her child, even in death.
Tragically, Lisa’s grief did not end there; she later chose to be buried next to her son at Graceland.
The fight to live exposed.
In the memoir, Lisa candidly expressed her internal struggle, revealing she had to “fight” to stay alive for her other children.
Benjamin’s death left her feeling shattered and unable to say goodbye promptly.
“I think it would scare the living fking p* out of anybody else to have their son there like that,” she admitted.
Yet for her, this was a way to cope with her unbearable pain.
Deciding where to bury him was another agonizing dilemma—Hawaii or Graceland?
After two months, the family felt it was time for Benjamin to be buried.
A funeral service was held in Malibu before Benjamin was laid to rest at Graceland, alongside his famous grandfather.
Lisa Marie’s death in January 2023 due to complications from surgery added to the tragedy.
Now, as Riley prepares for a book tour, she hopes to share the profound messages from her mother’s life.
