“In my humble opinion, his performance is unprecedented and FINALLY done accurately and respectfully. (If he doesn’t get an Oscar for this, I will eat my own foot, haha.)”
Lisa Marie Presley also said she was “moved to tears” as she watched her three children — 33-year-old daughter Riley Keough and 14-year-old twins Harper and Finley — see a depiction of their grandfather on the big screen.
“All 3 visibly overwhelmed in the best way possible way, and so filled with pride about their grandfather and his legacy in a way that I have not previously experienced. It breaks my heart that my son isn’t here to see it. He would have absolutely loved it as well,” she wrote.
A few months later, she wrote an emotional guest essay for People, in which she described her grief over the death of her son.
In honor of National Grief Awareness Day, Lisa Marie Presley shared how she is “living the horrible reality” of her son’s death to help others who are dealing with a painful loss.
“Grief is something you will have to carry with you for the rest of your life, in spite of what certain people or our culture wants us to believe,” she explained. “You do not ‘get over it,’ you do not ‘move on,’ period.”
She said, “Nothing, absolutely NOTHING takes away the pain, but finding support can sometimes help you feel a little bit less alone.”
Lisa Marie Presley shared Riley and Benjamin with ex-husband Danny Keough and her twin daughters with former spouse Michael Lockwood. She was also married to Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage.
