Fans were shocked when the news broke thatKelly Preston had died at the age of 57.
“Forgive me in advance if you don’t hear from us for a while.
Preston also left behind two children, Ella, 21, and Benjamin 10.
Travolta and Preston tied the knot in September 1991.
Months following Preston’s passing, Travolta spoke about grief during an interview with Esquire Mexico (viaPeople).
“I learned that mourning someone, living in grief, is very personal.
Grief is personal and finding your own path is what could lead to healing.
It’s different than someone else’s journey,” the actor said in April.
Now, Travolta is opening up about a heartbreaking conversation he had with his son about life and death.
The actor admitted that Benjamin was scared that something may happen to his father after losing his mother.
“I said, ‘Well, it’s a very different thing.’
And I went through the differences about my longevity and her limited life.
“Your brother [Jett] left at 16.
Your mother left at 57.
That was too young.
But who’s to say?
I could die tomorrow.
Anybody can,” he added.
“So let’s look at it like it’s part of life.
You don’t know exactly.
You just do your best at trying to live the longest it’s possible for you to.”
“This is a 10 year old telling me that!
It changed my viewpoint,” Travolta confessed.
