Janet Jackson, sister to Michael Jackson, has been holding back her sorrow of losing her brother for more than a year.

However, the singer has finally given in and accepted the great loss. In an interview with the America's Today show, Jackson says, “I was finally able to (start grieving). I was in Paris and it was one of those moments. At some point, you have to move on and I'm trying to do that and it (is) really difficult. There's still not a day that goes by where I don't think about him. Not one day, not one day.”
She continues, "I'm kind of pushing myself, forcing myself to a certain degree to get over this because it's not the healthiest. I just spent the night (in Paris) watching all his videos and listening to his music. There were moments when I cried and moments that made me laugh. It was good for me; I needed it.”
Janet Jackson also revealed that apart from her everybody in the family cried on Michael's death. She said that she is not sure if she was trying to “shield the pain” or if she was just trying to handle everything because everything was falling apart. She added, “For now, yeah, I did (grieve).
