Lisa Marie Presley opened up about losing her son in an essay she penned for National Grief Awareness Day in September.
"His passing utterly exploded and ruined the lives of my three girls and I. This is the world we live in. Single. Day, "She composed. "Regardless of what some people or our culture would have us believe, grief is something you will have to live with for the rest of your life. There is no such thing as "moving on" or "getting over it.""
In the essay, Lisa Marie Presley also mentioned that she found solace in the companionship of those who had experienced similar tragedies and that her girls give her the strength to carry on.
She wrote, "I keep going for my girls." "I continue because my son made it quite plain in his last moments that taking care of his younger sisters and watching out for them were his top priorities. Both of them and him were completely beloved by him."
