It's a year since Joan Rivers' death. The anniversary is on September 4, which her daughter, Melissa Rivers has scheduled to spend with her son Coop, according to hngn.

Melissa gave an exclusive interview to Entertainment Tonight regarding her mother's legacy, whatever comfort she has received from her fans and how she has scattered her mother's ashes, along with her 14-year-old son Cooper.

"Coop and I took our annual family vacation to Wyoming," Melissa told ET . "[The] first without my mom and scattered some of her ashes there, so we can still be together every August as a family."

For a year it has been a bit harrowing for her, yet she managed to strive through it, deriving strength from her mother's legacy.

"She was not a quitter," Rivers said. "Nothing ever stopped her, if she couldn't get through this door she went through that window. So the best way to honor her legacy is to be OK."

Some of her mother's fans are her biggest source of comfort, she explained.

"I mean, it's always happiest when they say 'she made me laugh,'" Rivers added, with a smile of her own.

A visible sign of her mother is her gold Cartier wrist watch with a "pale pink face", which reminds her of the parent---a piece of her she carries around with her wherever she goes.
