Janet Jackson knows what it's like to lose a loved one, and now she's offering some advice to Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina on how to deal with the grief over her mother's death.
"You have to come to terms at some point. You have to actually give it up to God," says Jackson, who still mourns the loss of her brother, Michael Jackson. "It sounds so mean, but you have to move on. You can't hold onto that because it can be very devastating."
Jackson, who spoke to Anderson Cooper for an interview airing Monday on his talk show, adds, "Sometimes therapy is the best thing."

Brad Pitt's birthday weekend was quite a "thriller"!
The Moneyball star, who turns 48 on Sunday, was joined by longtime love Angelina Jolie and their six children in Las Vegas Saturday night to experience the Michael Jackson The Immortal, the Cirque Du Soleil touring show.
"They had great seats, sitting right beside the stage," a source said. "They really seemed to enjoy the show. The performers didn't know they were there and a few of them recognized them while they were on stage, so it was pretty exciting."
After giving a standing ovation, Pitt, donning round glasses, Jolie, wearing a light grey dress, and the children left just as the cast gave final bows. The family spent the night at the lavish Four Seasons.

Originally posted 11/29/2011 01:00PM
Dr. Conrad Murray was sentenced Tuesday to the maximum penalty of four years behind bars for administering a lethal dose of a powerful anesthetic to Michael Jackson.
"He violated the trust of the medical community, of his colleagues and of his patient," said Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor, "and he has absolutely no sense of remorse, absolutely no sense of fault, and is and remains dangerous."
Murray, 58, was convicted of manslaughter in the 2009 death of the pop star at age 50 as he was preparing for a major concert series in the U.K.

Dr. Conrad Murray faces up to four years behind bars at his sentencing Tuesday on his manslaughter conviction for administering a deadly anesthetic to Michael Jackson.
In his sentencing memo, the prosecution contended that Murray, 58, performed a "dangerous, unprecedented pharmaceutical experiment," withheld from paramedics and emergency room doctors that he'd administered propofol, and hid some drugs and equipment after Jackson stopped breathing.
Murray's attorneys, who suggested at trial that the singer caused his own death by taking extra drugs when Murray was out of the room, asked that Murray receive probation.
"There is no question that the death of his patient, Mr. Jackson, was unintentional and an enormous tragedy for everyone affected," the lawyers wrote in their sentencing memo, adding that Jackson's death was "an atypical and isolated aberration to an otherwise exceptional medical career."
