Michael Jackson’s Children ‘Consumed With Grief’

Posted by Adam

Sunday October 25, 2009

La Toya JacksonMICHAEL Jackson‘s sister La Toya says the tragic superstar’s children are still struggling to come to terms with their dad’s death.

La Toya has revealed how the three youngsters — Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year-old Prince Michael II, also known as ‘Blanket’ — have been left shattered by grief and are having counseling

“Paris thinks and talks about her father all the time,” La Toya tells British newspaper the Sunday 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.

“Her bedroom is covered in posters of Michael and she watches tapes of him all the time. After he passed, the kids went up to the house to get whatever they wanted.

“Paris took anything with a picture of her father on and brought it back to her new room at my mother’s house.

“She was so upset that she would never see her father on stage. She said, ‘Now I’ll never get the chance to see Daddy perform live’.

“Prince just doesn’t want to speak about it. 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. He cries — he really does cry. It’s so painful for him. No one can bring his daddy back and it hurts so much.

“They all go to therapy and I truly hope Prince especially will be able to open up.”

    I am sure the children (Prince Michael, Paris, Prince Michael II, aka Blanket) are grieving for their father but just a several days to 1 month ago La Toya just stated that they are handling the death of their father well. Now which story are we supposed to believe? But as usual you cannot believe anything La Toya says, remember back in the ’80′s & ’90′s when she turned on the entire Jackson family including Michael? She is as bad as Joe and Jermaine they are all unable to tell the whole truth even if their lives depended on it.

      Well I think they are grieving but not as in unable to function and depressed. They are handling it as well as they can in a situation like this. I think thats what she means. That does’nt make her a liar. Yeah shes made some very awful and really terrible mistakes but shes human like the rest of us. cut her some slack….

    when was lahoya became the michael’s spokeperson…ahh oh yes she was always talking bad things about michael in her interviews back in the 90s when she was saying that michael was a pedo and doesnt have a vitiligo….lahoya is always using michael even in death just to make money….lahoya is always embarrassing michael with her leechery….does she ever look at the mirror and see how evil she looks…..can’t wait for the kids to get older so they can get away from joe, latoya and jermaine….just hope they never learned treachery and evilness from joe, latoya and jermaine

    Poor Children!

    Paris’s reaction seem to be working well for her…she works to keep her father close to her and thats a great thing to have when you are trying to mend a broken heart (which is what she has).

    Prince on the otherhand does scare me. Latoya states that he stays quite and won’t even look at his father on TV (old videos and such). He has such hurt and sadness. Why that DUMB Dr. Murray brought that poor boy into the room where his father had already died just to have him watch as he made “hopeless” attempts to bring Michael back I’ll never know???!?!?
    That “Doctor” called Prince upstairs to watch as he beat on MJ’s chest to relive him with CPR.

    What does a 12yr old boy need to be witnessing that for??? I hope Prince isn’t “too” tramatized by that!!!! I hope…

    Little Blanket probably doesnt totally understand or want to understand what happened to his daddy! I hope the therapy helps all of them…Im so glad the Grandmother is unselfishly putting her religious beliefs aside to let the children celebrate Christmas! Mj always had great Christmas’ for them…I pray that the children will be ok…that thay will contine to growup with the teachings Michael instilled in them. Respect, Manners and LOVE :)

    Poor kids. :(
    i thought i understood how they felt but i actually don’t. they’ve lost theire father who wasnt just a father to them, he was also playing the part of a mother too. he raised them all but they are still very young and have alot of growing up to do. Prince, Paris, and Blanket if you are there please know that i care and im there for you 100%.
