Riley Keough has always been attuned to the struggles of her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, who tragically passed away in January 2023.

Lisa Marie, the beloved daughter of music legends Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, endured profound grief following the loss of her son, Benjamin Keough, who died unexpectedly in 2020 at the age of just 27.

In a recent interview with People, Riley reflected on her mother's challenges, stating, “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.”

The actress, who stars in Daisy Jones & The Six, emphasized that while her mother passed away from complications related to surgery, it was the emotional toll of losing Benjamin that truly broke her spirit.

“My mom physically died from the after effects of her surgery, but we all knew she died of a broken heart,” Riley explained.

Lisa Marie's struggles with grief were well-documented before her death, and she had openly shared her feelings about losing her son, highlighting the impact it had on her life.

The heart-wrenching reality of her passing serves as a poignant reminder of the toll that grief can take on an individual, further compounded by the pain of not just losing one child, but also dealing with the immense legacy of being part of the Presley family.

As the family continues to navigate life without Lisa Marie, Riley and her sisters, including the 15-year-old twins Harper and Finley, are left to carry forward the memory of their mother, while honoring the legacies of both her and Benjamin.

The public's outpouring of love and remembrance following Lisa Marie's passing underscores the deep connection audiences felt for the Presleys.

In an era where mental health awareness is more important than ever, Riley's candid remarks shed light on the far-reaching effects of grief and loss, and the importance of support during such difficult times.
