MY SUICIDE HELL!
Lisa Marie tells all two years after losing only son, 27
DESTROYED Lisa Marie Presley is still steeped in misery two years after her only son’s tragic suicide — and she doesn’t believe her agony will ever end!
“Nothing, absolutely NOTHING takes away the pain,” says Lisa Marie, 54, whose boy, Benjamin Keough, blew his brains out in July 2020 after a bitter battle with drugs and depression.
“Grief does not stop or go away in any sense, a year, or years after the loss. Grief is something you will have to carry with you for the rest of your life.”
Adding to the “horrific reality” of losing the 27-year-old son she shared with first
husband Danny Keough, Lisa Marie says she feels sidelined and “judged” by people who think she should move on, turning her into “a pariah.”
“You can feel stigmatized and perhaps judged in some way as to why the tragic loss took place,” she says. “This becomes magnetized by a million if you are the parent of a child who passed.”
The only child of rock ’n’ legend Elvis Presley and his wife Priscilla heartbreakingly admits she monitors Benjamin’s grave at his famous grandfather’s estate, Graceland, via webcam.
However, she hangs on for the sake of her surviving children — Ben’s sister, actress Riley Keough, along with twin daughters Finley and Harper from hubby No. 4, Michael Lockwood. Lisa Marie, who sources say relies on a circle of close friends to get through the worst times, says their lives were all “completely detonated and destroyed. We live in this Every. Single. Day.”
