Priscilla reflects on the tragic loss of Lisa Marie in her memoir.

“The day I took Lisa off life support was the second saddest of my life after losing Elvis [Presley],” shares Priscilla. “Realizing she was gone took a significant time to process.”

Priscilla maintains that she felt her daughter’s absence “the moment” she entered Lisa Marie’s hospital room. “She was reliant on machines for breathing, and although her heart was still beating, her spirit was absent,” she writes. “Riley [Keough] mentioned feeling her mother’s spirit depart while still in transit. Yet, none of us were prepared to let go.”

After an emergency procedure, the doctor asked Priscilla about the next step. “They had revived Lisa’s heart, but there was no promise it would keep beating. I queried the doctor, ‘What sort of life would she have if we prolonged this?'” Priscilla recalled, ultimately deciding to relieve her daughter of suffering.

“It was an unbearable moment,” she described about the decision. “My tears flowed as I collapsed — Ivy had to support me. After that, everything went dark; I don’t recall those moments, nor do I wish to.”

Priscilla reflects on Lisa Marie’s marriage to Michael Jackson.
