The Jackson clan matriarch has been hailed as a pillar of strength by her family in the light of the Thriller hitmaker's untimely death last month (Jun09).

She has set out to take care of her three fatherless grandchildren, and was awarded temporary guardianship of Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year-old Prince Michael 'Blanket' II, pending a custody hearing on Monday (20Jul09).

But after weeks of keeping her grief contained, Katherine Jackson has finally fallen victim to her own bereavement over the loss of her beloved son, according to People.com.

A source tells the website, "It's finally hit her. She's been crying a lot. Her eyes are constantly red. She can't believe Michael is gone. She feels horrible for those children. (But) she's determined to remain strong for them."

And the stories slamming her estranged husband Joe and his parenting skills while the Jackson kids were growing up has only added to her personal strain.

The insider adds, "She is very upset about all the Joe bashing and all the things that are being said about him. Michael's kids love Grandpa Joe. Hearing him trashed makes Katherine really angry."
