During her life, Lisa Marie Presley had to face a terrible tragedy: the death of one of her children. At only 26 years old, Benjamin Keough had decided to end his life. It was July 12, 2020.
She never recovered from the loss of one of her four children. On July 12, 2020, Lisa Marie Presley had to face one of the greatest dramas of her life, the death of his son Benjamin Keoughat only 27 years old. The young man had decided to end his life by gunshot after having struggled for many years against depression and his addictions. The singer’s son had shot himself in the head while he was in the same house as his girlfriend. The latter had thus found the lifeless body of her companion lying in the bathroom.
This tragic disappearance had particularly upset the mother of the family, who failed to recover from the death of her son. Despite everything, she continued to live for her three other children. But there wasn’t a single day that she didn’t think of her dead son. Nearly two years after his death, on the occasion of the National Day of Awareness of Mourning, she paid him a very beautiful tribute. “I have been living in the horrible reality since my son died two years ago. I thought I’d share a few things to consider when it comes to grief for anyone who’s interested. If not to help yourself but maybe to help another who is grieving…“, she had started at first.
Lisa Marie Presley felt a lot of guilt since her son’s death
“I fight with myself and I fight tirelessly and chronically against guilt. I blame myself every day and it’s hard enough to live with now (…) Nothing, absolutely NOTHING takes away the pain, but sometimes finding support can help you feel a little less alone“, she had continued as she tried every day to move forward a little more.
