John Travolta Breaks His Silence on Son's Death

John Travolta has decided to finally speak to the press about the death of his son, Jett.  Since the death of their 16 year old son, the Travolta's have remained quiet, but they spoke with USA Today about how they have been dealing and coping with this tragedy.  Travolta says that the family has turned to their religion in order to get through the struggle, and have looked to their family for support.  The Travolta's have also been seeking intensive therapy to deal with the grief they are feeling since Jett's death.


"We've been working very hard every day as a family to heal" says Travolta.  The 16 year old son of Hollywood parents John Travolta and Kelly Preston suffered from autism, and faced an untimely and unexpected death on February 2 of last year, due to a seizure while vacationing at the family's home in Grand Bahama Island.  

The Travoltas have also been extremely thankful for the support provided by fans and friends.  "The outpouring of love from, really, worldwide has been extraordinary. It's been our friends, our family, our church. We partake in spiritual counseling pretty much daily," says Preston.  


The family has also decided to break their silence in support of the film that will soon be premiering that features both parents and their 9 year old daughter Ella in her first film role.  The film, a comedy entitled Old Dogs, will be hitting theaters on November 25.    The family has put some of their focus into their work to help deal with the grief and strong emotions that they have been feeling since the death of their beloved Jett.  


On top of this tragedy, they are also facing a court case surrounding the death of Jett, but have yet to comment on this situation.  The case was ruled as a mistrial and is set for a retrial in the future.  Meanwhile, the family hopes to promote the future of their daughter Ella, and be allowed privacy and time to grieve as a family.
