Bobbi Kristina offered coping advice by Janet Jackson [Video]

As Bobbi Kristina Brown survives the significant loss of her mother, Whitney Houston, she can count the support of millions of fans worldwide -- and a few showbiz types like Janet Jackson.

No stranger to tragedy herself, Jackson stopped by Anderson Cooper's daytime talk show Tuesday and offered thoughts for the grief-stricken Bobbi Kristina, whose recent ordeal saw her hospitalized, reportedly for stress.

"I didn't want to accept it. It's very difficult. You have to come to terms at some point; you have to give it up to God," Jackson said of losing her brother Michael.

"It sounds so mean but you have to move on. You can't hold on to that because it can be very devastating. And sometimes therapy can be the best thing."

Cooper, who lost a brother to suicide, weighed in on coping with loss over a lifetime. 

"TV people always use that word 'closure' when they're talking about loss. I don't think there is such a thing as closure. I think that's a made-up TV word," he said.

Jackson agreed, adding, "You figure out a way to move on with life but ... there's never a day, not one day has gone by where I don't think about my brother."

PREACH IT! The Jackson family compound: Move along, nothing to see here

We know we haven’t written in a while about the drama at Michael Jackson's family's compound in Encino.

Sorry about that.

But here’s the latest: It’s still sort of crazy-town in there -- what with all those kids, and one 79-year-old woman technically in charge of their care. But there’s nothing, you know, dangerous crazy.

That’s according to Radar, which reports that the local Department of Children and Family Services has wrapped up its investigation of the Jackson household. You’ll recall that DCFS reportedly delved into the situation at the Jackson home after one of Jermaine Jackson’s kids allegedly got his mitts on a stun gun. Well now, it seems, no kid appears to be in immediate danger, and all’s A-OK. I mean, given that it’s the Jackson house.

Meanwhile, another Jackson, Janet, is making the media rounds.
