After the death of her brother Benjamin, Riley Keough trained as a death doula. This training is now complete.
In July 2020, actress Riley Keough (31, “Logan Lucky”) had to cope with a severe blow: Her brother Benjamin (1992-2020) died at the age of only 27. A painful experience that apparently triggered the 31-year-old’s desire to help other people who have to deal with the subject of death. The actress trained as a dying companion. Now shared Keough via Instagramthat their training as a so-called death doula has been completed.
“We’re taught that [der Tod] is a morbid topic. Or we are so scared that we cannot talk about him. Then it naturally happens to us and we are very poorly prepared for it, “writes Keough about her motivation. It is incredibly important to be brought up to be able to talk about death as well as about birth:” We prepare so rigorously for ours Arrived before, but are not prepared for our departure at all, “continues the 31-year-old.
Therefore, she is now grateful that she can do her part to prepare people and their families for death.
Benjamin Keough was the son of Lisa Marie Presley (53), the daughter of Elvis (1935-1977) and Priscilla Presley (75), and the musician Danny Keough (56).
