Lisa Marie Presley shared about ‘grief’ and feeling ‘destroyed’ in devastating final post before her sudden death at 54
LISA Marie Presley’s final message on Instagram was a discussion about grief.
Elvis Presley’s daughter, who passed away suddenly on Thursday, spent her last years in anguish over her son Benjamin’s suicide.
Lisa Marie died at age 54 after suffering cardiac arrest at her home.
Paramedics performed CPR on the 54-year-old singer after finding her in her Calabasas, California, home before taking her in for treatment.
FINAL POST
Her final Instagram post was meant to help others deal with grief.
“Hi. In honor of it being National Grief Awareness Day , I wrote an essay about Grief which was posted today on PEOPLE.” she shared. “I thought I’d post it here in the hopes that anyone who needs to hear all of this it helps in some way.”
Elvis’ only grandson died by suicide after a self-inflicted gunshot wound at age 27 on July 12, 2020.
In an essay she gave to PEOPLE, Lisa Marie shared what she’s learned in the time since her son’s death.
“This is not a comfortable subject for anyone, and it is most unpopular to talk about,” she wrote. “But if we’re going (to) make any progress on the subject, grief has to get talked about.
“Death is part of life whether we like it or not — and so is grieving,” she continued. “Grief does not stop or go away in any sense, a year, or years after the 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. You do not “get over it,” you do not “move on,” period.”
Lisa Marie confessed that she “beats myself up tirelessly” and blamed herself every day for Benjamin’s death.
Her advice was to lean on others.
“This is where finding others who have experienced a similar loss can be the only way to go. Support groups that have your specific kind of loss in common. I go to them, and I hold them for other bereaved parents at my home.
“Nothing, absolutely NOTHING takes away the pain, but finding support can sometimes help you feel a little bit less alone.”
SAD NEWS
Lisa Marie’s mother, Priscilla Presley, confirmed the news of her passing in a statement, according to PEOPLE.
She said: “It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us.”
The actress went on: “She was the most passionate, strong, and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss.
“Thank you for your love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment.”
FINAL PHOTOS
Her death comes just two days after her appearance at the Golden Globe Awards Tuesday, where she supported Elvis star Austin Butler.
In her final photos, Lisa Marie looked frail, and had to cling to actor Austin’s arm.
Austin famously played Lisa Marie’s dad, Elvis, and just two days before her health crisis, he won the Golden Globe for his role as the rocker in the self-titled biopic.
Wearing an all-black dress, Lisa-Marie wrapped her arms around the actor for support as she walked.
Her eyes looked distant and tired and she had a slight slouch.

Blizzard webcams show America adapting to the devastating cold and snowfall
A Christmastime winter storm pummeled much of North America over the weekend, leaving 25 dead in the area around Eerie County, New York — which includes Buffalo — and entire communities buried under several feet of snow. In addition to snowed-in conditions in the Buffalo area, the storm was exacerbated by a larger cold weather trend, with snowfall and precipitation stretching across much of the United States and Canada.
Today (Monday) sees the country attempting to return to some semblance of business as usual. Thankfully, the holiday timing of the disastrous weather is sparing millions of people the need to commute to-and-from work in these conditions. Nonetheless, road crews are busy digging the country out of this snow.
It can all be seen on webcams, most of which had been set up prior to the storm for other purposes. Today, however, they show storm-battered communities coping with the blizzard, clearing crucial infrastructure, and cautiously getting back on the road.
Here’s a round up of winter webcams around the country:
Watch Buffalo’s snow-covered border bridge between Canada and the U.S.
This view of the Peace Bridge, which connects Fort Eerie, Ontario to Buffalo, New York, is a great example of real-time adaptation. The road is relatively clear of snow, even as the storm continues in Buffalo, and as you watch, you can see plows continue to operate throughout the day.
Watertown, New York is coming back to life amid the snow
This view of a lively downtown area in Watertown, New York, northeast of Buffalo, shows you how far the region has come in a short time. Cars are now moving freely — if cautiously — through the area even with snow piled up multiple feet on the side of the road.
Multiple live views of snowy Michigan show the state’s winter resilience
This live cam switches between several feeds all over Michigan, allowing the viewer to see pedestrians getting back to relative normalcy, as well as roadways now once again active. There are also breathtakingly scenic views of the snow covered landscape.
It’s still snowing at Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho
This normally placid view of a harbor on Lake Coeur d’Alene in northern Idaho currently (as of this writing) shows snow continuing to fall, and dark clouds continuing to pass overhead. Typically allowing a peek at conditions and activity on the lake for boaters and other vacationers, this camera instead shows the extent of the storm, which is dispersed across the entire country.
The winter views are incredible in snowy Washington state
This storm has been a tragic reminder of the devastating power of winter weather. However, this view of Leavenworth, Washington, in the Cascade Mountains, is a reminder of winter’s austere beauty. For the moment, the town’s Bavarian Village actually offers more astonishing snowy vista’s than Bavaria itself.
A note about climate change and winter storms
Importantly, intense winter freezes will still happen in a heating world. Earth is heating relentlessly, and winter is the fastest-warming season, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data compiled by Climate Central, an independent organization that researches climate change. But dynamic weather moving through our profoundly chaotic atmosphere will frequently still have opportunities to spill Arctic air into the Lower 48. (Originally published on Mashable here).
