After her son Benjamin passed away, Lisa Marie Presley kept his body on dry ice for two months for a very heartbreaking reason. Just under four years had gone since the terrible suicide death of her son Benjamin Keough, when Lisa Marie, 54, passed away in January 2023.
Lisa Marie, the sole child of Elvis Presley, departed from her twin children, Harper and Finley Lockwood, who are 16 years old, and her daughter Riley Keough, who is a star of Daisy Jones & The Six. Riley finished a book she had written, From Here to the Great Unknown, and it was published on October 8 following her death.
In her memoir, Lisa Marie discussed Benjamin’s sudden passing in 2020 and disclosed that she had held his body for two months before burying him in a casita bedroom. As she had explained to her father, Elvis Presley, “there is no law in California that requires someone to be buried immediately,” and she felt it was important to give Benjamin the time she needed to say goodbye.
Lisa Marie was just nine years old when Elvis passed away, so having his body at home and being able to visit and talk with him had been consoling. Throughout that time, she kept Benjamin’s remains at 55 degrees while debating whether to bury him in Graceland or Hawaii.
She acknowledged in the biography, “I became so accustomed to him being there, taking care of him… I was grateful that I could continue to raise him until I was ready to say goodbye, even if it was only for a short while longer.
A Husband’s Question for His Wife
Reading jokes offers more than just a moment of amusement—it provides valuable benefits for mental and emotional well-being. Engaging with humor sharpens cognitive skills like memory and comprehension, as you decode punchlines and grasp context. The clever wordplay and unexpected connections in jokes also spark creativity and promote flexible thinking.
Laughter triggered by jokes releases endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals. These endorphins uplift mood, temporarily ease pain, and counteract stress by reducing stress hormones and relaxing the body. Sharing humor with others strengthens social bonds and fosters deeper connections, enriching relationships.
Jokes can also serve as a helpful coping mechanism during challenging times, offering a fresh perspective on difficult situations. Far from being frivolous, humor becomes a tool for resilience and emotional support.
Here’s an example of how humor enhances relationships: A husband asks his wife, “Will you marry someone else after I die?” She replies, “No, I’ll live with my sister.” Curious, she turns the question back to him, asking, “Will you marry after I die?” He responds with a cheeky twist, “No, I’ll also live with your sister.”
This playful exchange showcases their ability to tackle serious topics with humor and affection. The wife’s initial answer reflects loyalty, while the husband’s response adds a lighthearted twist, underscoring their comfortable, teasing dynamic. Through humor, they reveal a deep bond built on mutual understanding and love.
So, the next time you read a joke, remember—it’s not just for laughs; it’s a way to nurture your mind, relationships, and resilience.
