As she put it, she cried nearly immediately when the movie began.
Keough said, “I started crying five minutes in and didn’t stop.
There’s a lot of family trauma and generational trauma that started around then for our family.”
He was at the Opry and was the quiet storm behind the stage.
Everybody turned around and looked when he was over there" (per TMZ).

“It’s like, ‘Oh I’m experiencing this in grief now.’
It’s the little things at first, like I’m going to the grocery store in grief.
Never done that before” (viaToday).
Details of her death were first reported byTMZand later confirmed byPeople, to whom Priscilla Presley issued a statement.
“She was the most passionate, strong, and loving woman I have ever known.
We ask for privacy as we attempt to deal with this profound loss.”
Keough took toInstagramto share that she had recently finished her training to become a death doula.
Keough was open about her thoughts about death and how it is spoken about culturally in the post.
She wrote, “We are taught that it’s a morbid subject to talk about.
Lisa Marie Presley was married toDanny Keoughfrom 1988 to 1994.
They started dating in 1985.

He just didn’t have much money.”
He was eating a bowl of cereal.
I didn’t realize how wildly offensive that was!”
