Jackson`s children still battling with huge loss: Katherine

Los Angeles: Pop legend Michael Jackson`s children are finding it difficult to get out of the trauma following their father`s death a year ago.

The King of Pop died June 25 last year after suffering cardiac arrest and Jackson`s mother Katherine was named the guardian of his three children - Prince, 13, Paris, 12 and eight-year-old Blanket. "It has been a daily battle to cope with our huge loss... (The kids) don`t have any friends. They don`t go to school, they have private lessons at home but that will change in September, when they are due to enroll in private (school)," a news website quoted Katherine as saying. "But they have their cousins and aunts and uncles around them constantly, and that`s helped them immensely. To them, it`s normal, it`s the life they have known. They have a certain time to go to bed, then they get up and get dressed for lessons. They practise karate and swim, which they love," she added. IANS
