JOHN TRAVOLTA WORKING HARD TO HEAL FOLLOWING SON’S DEATH

Posted by Adam

John TravoltaJOHN Travolta will grieve for his late son for the rest of his life.

The 56-year-old actor admits the pain of losing his 16-year-old son Jett — who passed away in January 2009 following a seizure while on holiday in the Bahamas — is still raw but he and his family are dealing with it the best they can.

“We are working hard on healing, still,” said John. “It’s going to be a lifelong project. Everybody has been so enormously supportive and I really appreciate it.”

Travolta’s Wild Hogs costar Tim Allen also revealed his friend is still coming to terms with his loss.

“He is doing really well, I mean, healing as best he can,” said Allen. “He is pushing through a very tough situation.”

Earlier this year, Travolta admitted he and wife Kelly Preston and their nine-year-old daughter Ella had received a great deal of support from the Church of Scientology in the wake of Jett’s untimely passing.

“We work hard every day with our church on healing,” said Travolta, who is a devout follower of the controversial religion. “And Kelly and I and Ella have all been working very hard and they’ve been helping us.”

    Re: “We are working hard on healing, still. It’s going to be a lifelong project.”

    This statement sums up the problem with Scientologists who get fast tracked through the Scientology program by coughing up cash and fame instead of working their way up through all the levels. If he was a genuine Scientologist he’d be able to clear his negative thoughts, his engrams, quickly and got on with life.

      Greif is not short circuited by beliefs. The heart must heal at it’s own pace. You insensitive bafoon who professes to dictate somone else’s helling rate.

    I cannot imagine the pain you and your family are feeling from the loss of your son. I can only say that with God’s love, you will be able to so on with your lives. My mother died 13 years ago, some days I don’t think about it, but other days I don’t think I can bear the pain any longer.

    I will keep you and your family in my prayers as you continue to grieve for your son. I know that someday you will be able to look at your son’s life and remember the joy that he brought to yours. God Bless you and your family.

    John, may God bless you and your family. I lost my twin son and the pain is always there. The tears come whenever they do. It is something that never leaves you.God is my only consolation and I truly believe He has helped me through. I know my son is with God. My son died as a result of a tragic accident. There is nothing worse than losing your own child. Life is never the same again. I know that God will give you and your family the strength to go on. God bless.
