Jackson's Sons Can't Accept Dad's Death
Michael Jackson's death seems to have taken a worse toll on his sons than his daughter, who is steadily learning to cope.
Since Michael Jackson's sudden death in June, his three children Prince, 12, Paris, 11 and Prince Michael II, aka "Blanket", 7, are being raised by their grandmother Katherine Jackson, now their legal guardian. As can be expected, the children are traumatized and trying to find their own ways to deal with their grief.
It seems that Paris is coping better with handling their father's death than her brothers. According to La Toya Jackson (the children's aunt), Paris has found a positive way to keep her father's memory alive.
"Paris thinks and talks about her father all the time," La Toya told the Daily Mirror. "She's doing very well, writes a lot and she wears his shirts every day. They still smell of him and it helps her feel close to him."
But it is much harder for Jackson's sons to come to terms with his death.
"Prince just doesn't want to speak about it," La Toya said. "He won't even watch the DVDs he just walks right past the TV. It's too soon, too touching. I do worry about him very much.
"And Blanket is just a very sad, shy little boy," she revealed. "He cries he really does cry. It's so painful for him. No one can bring his daddy back and it hurts so much."
La Toya added that all three children will need professional help to guide them through this painful process.
"They all go to therapy, and I truly hope Prince especially will be able to open up."
