As I delve deeper into this heart-wrenching tale, I can’t help but be moved by the profound resilience and love that shines through every sentence. Lisa Marie Presley, a woman who faced an extraordinary series of tragedies, found solace and purpose in her four children. Her journey, as Riley so eloquently puts it, encapsulates a very human experience – one that transcends the glitz and glamour often associated with her name.


On Monday, Lisa Marie Presley’s twins, Harper and Finley, marked their significant 16th birthday, coinciding with the publication of their mother’s revealing autobiography.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’d say, “On that special day, I couldn’t help but capture and post a variety of moments on my Instagram account. And to make it even more memorable, my beloved older sister, Riley Keough, took the time to pen a heartfelt tribute for all to see.

The posthumous memoir of Lisa Marie, titled “From Here To The Great Unknown,” was made publicly accessible on Tuesday, approximately two years following her unexpected death at the age of 54 in January 2023.

On an outdoor restaurant terrace, Harper stood, with the picturesque ocean in the distance behind him as twilight fell.

In the caption, she wrote, ‘celebrating sweet sixteen with my friend @sofiaotis.1, who was there for the party too.’

Finley uploaded images to her own page that were seemingly taken at the same location outdoors. 

As a devoted adherent, I chose an elegant, form-fitting black sleeveless dress for today’s event, and with effortless grace, I slung a petite Louis Vuitton handbag over my right shoulder.

The teenager wrote in the caption, ‘sweet sixteen,’ followed by a tiger and red lipstick emoji. 

As an overly enthusiastic admirer, I couldn’t help but be thrilled when Harper’s companion, Sofia, posted pictures from the birthday soiree! Among them were captivating shots of us two, standing elegantly on a generously sized balcony, with the mesmerizing ocean as our backdrop. Simply breathtaking!

Additionally, they paused to snap a selfie in a restroom mirror, with Sofia labeling it as ‘My girl’ at the photo’s upper region.

On a Monday, Keough shared a heartfelt birthday message for her younger sisters on social media, writing, “Happy Sixteen Candles to my divine angels! You’re the most precious gems in this vast universe. I feel incredibly fortunate to be your big sister.

Riley added an old-school selfie to the photo where she’s seen donning a white, lacy bralette alongside her nearby sisters.

Additionally, the actress from Daisy Jones & The Six posted more old photos she’d gathered throughout her years.

One was another selfie that showed Riley holding up her phone while joined by the twins as well as their late brother, Benjamin – who passed away at age 27 in 2020 by suicide. 

In another instance, they positioned themselves beside their deceased mom on a couch for an unforgettable photograph, with Keough being one of them.

Back in 2008, I, much like Lisa Marie, embraced the joy of parenthood as I welcomed my beautiful twin girls, Harper Vivienne Ann and Finley Aaron Love, into the world. These precious children were the result of a shared journey with musician Michael Lockwood.

Before her unexpected death towards the end of last year, Riley assisted her mother in writing their memoir titled “From Here To The Great Unknown.

In the revealing memoir, it came to light that Lisa Marie struggled severely with opioid withdrawal following the birth of her twins in 2008, leading her into a downward spiral of substance abuse.

On January 12, 2023, Presley passed away at the age of 54 due to complications from a blockage in her small intestine resulting from past weight loss surgery. At the time of her passing, traces of opioids were detected in her system.

The celebrity openly shared her journey through addiction, discussing her efforts to maintain sobriety in recorded conversations and jointly written memoirs with her daughter Riley Keough.

According to what People published, Presley states: ‘At first, it was just for fun, but later on, it became something I couldn’t control. It turned into a full-blown addiction, with severe consequences.’

After experiencing the loss of loved ones and finding myself in a similar struggle with opioid addiction, you might be curious as to how this happened. It was during my recovery from childbirth that a physician prescribed me opioids to manage my pain, while I was welcoming my daughters Vivienne and Finley into the world.

She additionally stated, ‘After just a brief hospital prescription for opioids, I found myself wanting to continue using them.’

Over the past few years, I’ve witnessed far too many dear ones grapple with addiction, ultimately losing their lives prematurely to this devastating crisis. It’s high time we break free from the stigma surrounding addiction.

Instead of continually criticizing and evaluating ourselves and those around us, let’s start by openly expressing our experiences… As I compose these words, I am reminded of my four children, who have provided me with a reason to recover and find meaning. This is what Lisa emphasized.

Riley found it extremely challenging to discuss her mother’s struggle with addiction for the media, expressing that she desires for others to connect with a deeply personal story about love, sorrow, grief, addiction, and family in unique situations.

My mother aspired to pen a book, aiming for readers to encounter her narrative and find familiarity, recognizing that they share common experiences. Essentially, she sought to foster connections among humanity through this written work. That’s what I strive for as well.

Following Riley, the daughter of Lisa Marie and Danny Keough, disclosed her belief about the actual reason behind her mother’s passing.

Additionally, Keough shared with People that her mother’s death was due to a profound grief, following the tragic suicide of her brother, Benjamin, at the age of 27 in 2020.

The actress shared that, following Ben’s passing, her mother exerted great effort to discover inner fortitude not just for me but also for our younger siblings. However, it was clear to us all how deeply she was hurting.

She passed away due to complications following her operation, yet it was clear that the emotional pain of losing something dear was what truly took her life,” she explained.

In 2022, Lisa Marie openly acknowledged that she could not leave behind the loss of her son. However, as detailed in her upcoming memoir, set to be released on October 8, it was through assisting others that both Lisa Marie and Riley began their journey towards healing.

In the memoir, it is disclosed that Presley stored her deceased son Benjamin’s body on dry ice within her residence for a span of approximately two months following his demise.

According to Page Six, as written by Lisa, there isn’t an immediate burial requirement in California. Remarkably, I encountered a compassionate funeral home proprietor who assured me, “We can deliver Ben to you instead.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve found myself accustomed to maintaining the well-being of my son even after his passing. With the environment kept at a chilly 55 degrees, I continue to care for him, ensuring his preserved state, until he finds his final resting place at Graceland.

She was also later laid to rest next to her son following her own death.

After the death of Benjamin, Lisa shared that she had to persevere strongly in order to keep living for her remaining three children.

Regarding keeping her son’s remains at home for two months, she expressed, ‘I suspect anyone else would be terrified beyond belief under such circumstances. However, I am not.’
