Scientology helped Travolta deal with son’s death

Melbourne: John Travolta has said that Scientology helped him deal with the sudden death of his teenage son Jett.The ‘Face Off’ star’s son had passed away last year because of Kawasaki disease, a condition that strikes the lymph nodes, skin and mucous membranes of the mouth, nose and throat.

"It’s something that has been very difficult, but I am getting a lot of help in dealing with it," the Daily Telegraph quoted Travolta as saying. He revealed that he regularly visits the church with his family. He said: "My wife and I and my daughter - we’re all dealing with it as well as can be expected. We lean on our church heavily and they have helped us a lot. "The nooks and crannies of it are our private situation, but we’re handling it. I think you learn that the most important thing is your family and your responsibility towards them and others. "We’re in this as a group and all these wonderful things that we share together are not as important if we don’t take care of each other. We have to do that first and all the other stuff is icing on the cake." ANI
