Kelly Preston: It’s Still Too Painful To Talk About Jett
Posted by Babble staff writers at 10:00 AM on August 31, 2009
Kelly Preston has cancelled a long awaited speech about the death of her 16-year-old son Jett, saying it’s “too soon” to speak of her loss.
The actress was scheduled to speak for the California Governor’s Conference for Women’s “Grief & Resilience” panel, but said she’s not prepared to do so.
In a statement, Preston revealed;
It is with my sincere apologies that I must pull out from speaking at (the) conference. I am sorry, but I truly believed that I could do it. Otherwise I never would have said that I could. But I am still deeply in the process of healing, and it’s just too soon.”
Jett Travolta died in January after an apparent seizure. Both Kelly and husband, John Travolta, have kept a low profile since the tragic passing.
Maria Shriver, who is host of the conference, said she completely understood;
“I know how hard it was for Kelly to make this decision and she has my complete support and understanding. Everyone has their own path to healing and their own timetable for grieving.”
Our hearts go out to Kelly and John.
