Lisa Marie Presley continues to mourn the tragic loss of her son Benjamin Keough, revealing in a heartbreaking essay that her son's death "destroyed" her. At the young age of 27, Keough took his own life, leaving behind his mother, the only child of Elvis Presley, as well as three sisters. His father, Danny Keough, and Presley are divorced.
Her words, which were shared with People magazine, offer insight into the traumatic aftermath Presley has endured over the past few years. Regarding grief, she writes, "I have been living in the horrific reality of its unrelenting grips since my son's death two years ago." Tuesday was National Grief Awareness Day, which takes place every year on Aug. 30.

(Instagram) Presley's poignant words mention three harrowing realities of grief: there is no expiration, it's lonely, and you can become "a pariah." She writes, "I already battle with and beat myself up tirelessly and chronically, blaming myself every single day and that's hard enough to now live with." The singer shares the eerie similarities between her father and her son, writing, "Who was so much like his grandfather on so many levels that he actually scared me?"
