Janet Jackson still struggles with intense periods of mourning following the death of her beloved brother Michael - because she keeps expecting the King of Pop to call her.



Janet Jackson still struggles with intense periods of mourning following the death of her beloved brother Michael - because she keeps expecting the King of Pop to call her.
The Nasty singer was devastated when her famous sibling passed away in June (09), only appearing in public to support her niece and nephews at Jackson's memorial and perform a tribute medley at the MTV Music Video Awards in September (09).
Jackson is learning to live with her grief eight months on - but admits she still expects to hear her brother's voice on the end of the telephone.
She tells Wonderland magazine, "It gets sad sometimes because - I don’t know - you think your phone
is going to ring and you hear that voice calling your name. But, yeah, life does go on and everybody grieves differently.
"And every day is different. Some days it’s much easier than others."

I used to get mad when she says this because she says it in every interview. Maybe she is trying to convince herself that she needs to move on or it could be something else. Don't know I was actually trying to see the other side. I am growing. ***smiles***
 
After watching the Grammys I still felt like Michael was going to come out. It is still hard to believe that he isn't going to walk out on a stage again, in public with his mask on or just seeing him somewhere. Never again. It's sad.
 
Every grieving process for each person is different, as evidenced when I was talking to fellow fans about how they coped during the summer. Some went into a deep depression, some quit their jobs, whereas I threw myself into my work just so I didn't have time to think as everytime I had a break all I could think about is Michael and it was so painful. Sometimes I forget he's gone when watching a short film or interview of his. I know it orks some people when Janet says 'life goes on' but she doesn't mean it in a heartless way. Its obvious she really misses her brother.

I feel the same exact way..it just breaks my heart!
 
She's slowly moving into the acceptance stage of grief, clearly.
 
:( Feel so sad for her...It also gets me sad because I can't never see some new pictures of Michael again... or his smile again :(
 
I kind of took the wrong way - when she said 'But first he was our brother' ;is that supposed to mean like his super life long fans don't love him like the family loves him. ? ya right. we do.
 
well i'm over it now... but when she first said it. I hope she gets better though.
 
What's with all the bitterness towards Janet???

I cannot imagine losing a sibling...that's all I have to say.

Janet is one of the strongest woman ever.
 
All I can say is that I know the feeling. When my father passed away I kept checking my phone and waited and waited for him to call me :(
 
It doesn't make much sense to me considering she often admitted not speaking forget even seeing Michael for years. In 2008 she said she hadn't seen nor spoken to him, his since the verdict, even fake ass Oprah was surprised, back in 1997 again on Oprah she stated, she hadn't seen nor spoken to him since 1995 when they shot Scream, that was around the time he had become a first time dad, she hadn't even seen his new born baby, despite of him inviting the family to Neverland. All this tells me she is able to go on without talking to him for a long time. Why would she miss his calls if they were out of touch for years and years? Anyway, good luck with her movie. I believe her last Tyler Perry movie didn't even make it in the theater in many European countries.

Maybe if you don't talk to someone for a long time you still know that you can someday. They are still here. Now Michael is gone and she will never talk to him again. I remember Marlon said that he would not see Michael for a long time but you knew he was here now he really isn't anymore. I hope I am making sense here. You never really think you will never get the chance to see or talk to them again. You will eventually but now it's not possible anymore.

Yes you are making sense :) It's just sad that it takes a passing to make people appreciate each other more.
 
I doubt that Janet didn't appreciate her brother. They both had busy lifes, I think it's hard to imagine for us. I can tell that my friend is on a music school, preparing performances, recording and stuff and when there's a time she gets real busy, we don't speak for weeks as well, and that's just a music school preparing their students for the music business. But you have to accept that and that doesn't mean we don't appreciate each other, we are VERY good friends. But speaking of family, I did not have a lot of contact to my grandmother too, but still it doesn't mean I didn't appreciate her, it's just sometimes you don't realize that there could be a time you'll never speak/see that person again. Sometimes you are blind, even famous people can be blind. And after that you learn to appreciate the time and use the time. I hope you know what I mean. That's what I think and what I have expierenced.

I think Janet is a very strong person and I really love her for that!

The not appreciating comment wasn't a reference to Janet, I do believe that they both appreciated each other, and I also think that both were leading hectic lives. Michael was raising three children on his own, Janet was trying to resurrect her career after the Super Bowl fiasco and taking care of her dogs. I just don't think a phonecall or visiting your brothers new born son is too much to ask. But that is just my opinion.

Ok, sorry then I misread/misinterpreted it.
But sure, there's nothing to disagree that a phone call wouldn't be too much to ask for, but I think - IMO - it's not only Janet to blame, Michael could have called too.

But we all know that situation, waiting for the other to call...

Yes, that I agree with it's also Michael's fault, I agree that he could have called as well. But, he was traumatized by the whole trial that almost cost him his freedom, life and beloved children. His circumstances were different. One would assume it was easier for the other person to call, in this case the other person was Janet it could have been anyone IMHO.

I agree. That's true. But sometimes person react differently and expect the other person to call - I mean in general now. You are telling a person to call if your sibling/ friend has a problem/ doesn't feel well/ so on but sometimes you are expecting the person to call and simply ask how they are. Oh Geez, I think I couldn't put it into good words, but I hope you know what I mean. One person waits for the call when someone is down and the other person waits for the person to call to ask if he/she is down.
I have not only expierenced it but heard it from a lot of people.
 
It's not anyone's fault for not calling. They've both said they hadn't seen them, that doesn't mean they hadn't talked to one another. When you just get done doing a 2 hour show, like Mike did during the HIStory Tour and Janet did with Velvet Rope, at the end of the show, you don't say "OMG let me pick up my phone and call every last one of my family members." :rolleyes2: Janet has stated that they all keep in contact with each other thru Katherine. She keeps them abreast one what the other members are doing.

Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill.
