Holy hell, can you believe this?

Attempts were made to revive him, but he died at the scene, Ossi said.

Jett, who had a history of seizures, was the eldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston. They also have a daughter, Ella Blue, who was born in 2000..... (more)

This is truly very sad. You can joke about the man's beliefs, but when anyone loses a child, there can possibly be nothing worse. Tragic.

John Travolta is a sweet human being, and so is his wife, This is so tragic,

How very sad. I can imagine far little worse than losing your child. My heart goes out to Mr. Travolta and his family.

I wasn't joking, and I think it sucks that it will in probability happen. Don't like the guy's choice of 'religion' but I can unfortunately see that people will use this child's death to further their anti-Scientology cause, which is both callous and unneccesary. Sorry if read as a joke - I haven't been awake very long.

Ari is right. It probably will happen, unfortunately, because it's been long speculated that his son Jett was autistic and that John wouldn't admit he was due to his Scientology beliefs, and they always said he suffered from Kawasaki syndrome instead. So I'm sure there will be gossip. But what a tragedy. They both seem like wonderful parents who love their children and were always together as a family unit.

Yes it was read as a joke. Does it matter what religion he is. His child passed away, very tragic. Your excuse for the comment is "I havem't been awake very long".

Upper level Scientologists believe strongly in reincarnation. They have lost their child, but in their world he will return again in the near future, they just won't know who or where. The finality of his death won't be felt the same way that we. who don't believe in reincarnation or rebirth of the soul would be feeling it.
Of course. it must be a terrible sense of loss to outlive your child.

[Lula]

very sad indeed. i feel for the family. there is nothing worse than the death of your child, nothing. may they find comfort in their time of grieving from one another.

Maybe intellectually he believes that, but I doubt it will alleviate the horrible emotional pain he and Kelly are suffering right now. Reincarnation or not, there will be a horrible feeling of loss in their family day to day just living without their son. Maybe in time it will give them comfort, just like heaven gives people comfort.

He has given them richness of a life in which to love and in return they have prepared their son for what ever is to come. A parent never wants to outlive their child but I am sure their love has given him more than they can ever imagine. I hope they can overcome their grief and celebrate all he has brought into each of their lives and the lives of those he encountered. Celebrate his life and what he brought into their home and lives; let the tears flow for now; a poignant reminder that he has lived and will remain forever in their hearts.

How many other parents have lost a child today? Their losses are no less tragic, the only difference being some will struggle with unpaid medical bills and burial expenses that will in itself, be a burden. Those are the ones who need our sympathy and support.

No, my excuse for poor wording is that I hadn't been awake very long when I made the initial post. I'm not particularly verbal first thing. In re-reading it, I could see that it was very open to misinterpretation, hence the second post clarifying my thoughts. I don't make jokes about any family's grief.

I got what you were saying, Ari. The media will start spinning things and start people pondering about Scientology and were they hiding something, blah blah blah. That's what they do. They unfortunately will most likely pick this to death. Especially if they feel his parents were hiding that he had a condition that may have led to this.

"Don't like the guy's choice of religion" " I haven't been awake very long" "I'm not particulary verbal first thing" Maybe you should not have commented at all.

Mabye you need to make a post that has some actual content and commentary, instead of just general negativity without any actual opinion or thought process. Engage the brain - it may make a refreshing change.
