Lisa Marie's Grief Over Elvis: A Grief Too Public to Share

At 46:31 · chapter starts 44:00

Alex asks whether Lisa Marie ever talked to Riley about the grief of losing her father and how she dealt with it, connecting it to the book's depictions of Lisa Marie crying and drinking in quiet moments. Riley's answer is direct: her mother never talked about her grief. She would talk about Elvis — his life, his music, his personality — but the feelings that his loss produced in her were too personal, too much her own in a world where everything about her grief was public property. The result, Riley thinks, was a decades-long deferral. Lisa Marie never processed it in her younger years the way she needed to, and it wasn't until her late 40s and into her 50s that she began to reckon with it. Riley frames this as partly generational — older generations simply didn't talk about their feelings, didn't have the vocabulary or the permission structures that younger people now do.
