John Travolta: Coping After Jett's Death

In his first interview since his son Jett's tragic January death, John Travolta says that he and his family are far from healed.
But with the help of his faith in Scientology and almost daily religious counseling sessions the family is coping.
"We've been working very hard every day as a family to heal.  We have our own way of doing it, and it's been helping."  
The blue-eyed actor says he has been overwhelmed by the support of friends, fans and Hollywood friends.  "You need your friends a lot in times like that."  
The family has been in relative seclusion, but Travolta says he broke his silence in part to focus on his 9-year old daughter, Ella who is making her film screen debut opposite her old man, and mom, Kelly Preston in Disney's Old Dogs which premiere's on Nov. 25.
"We decided it was OK to come out and promote, to introduce her to the world and to give her a beautiful future in film," Travolta says during a round-table interview with the cast of the film.

Preston says 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."

Still, she says, the family works to level the roller-coaster emotions.

And the roller-coaster isn't over yet.  The Travolta's are still entangled in the extortion case involving the paramedic and former Bahamian senator who tried to take $25 million from the Travolta's--which ended in a mistrial--and a new trial has been reordered.
