John Travolta, Kelly Preston’s husband, is still mourning the loss of his wife two years after her passing.

Travolta only recently talked openly about what it was like to live without his late wife. The actor told Esquire, ‘I realized that mourning someone, living in pain, is really personal.

Finding your way through a difficult time might help you heal. Grief is personal. It’s distinct from someone else’s journey,’ he continued, as reported by PEOPLE.

The most crucial thing you can do to support someone going through grief is to give them space to do so without interfering with their path in any way.

Travolta preferred to mourn his partner’s passing in private with his daughter Ella, 21, and son Ben, 10, and withdrew from the spotlight as a result. Preston lost her fight with breast cancer on July 12, 2020, after a two-year battle. She was 57.

Through the tragic incident, he learned that it’s best to grieve by yourself. The Pulp Fiction actor said:

‘Like, imagine if you lose someone and you’re very upset at the funeral and another person comes up to you who is feeling even worse and then doesn’t provide space for you to feel your grief.’

‘It transforms into two ships going down together. That’s how I’ve found it. Because, despite the fact that having company is enjoyable.

It can occasionally cause you to become preoccupied with supporting the other person rather than putting in the effort to deal with your own loss and grief.’

Many people attempted to console the 67-year-old father after Preston’s passing, but sadly, it was unsuccessful.

The first thing one should do while facing loss is ‘go to a place where you may mourn without any interference,’ stated Travolta.

‘You don’t know how many people contacted me…and then I was saturated with everyone’s anguish that I didn’t know what to do.’

According to ET Online, he stated, ‘If I die tomorrow, the last thing I want to see is everyone around me sinking.’

Following the passing of his wife, Travolta, who had lost his 16-year-old son Jett in 2009, posted a heartfelt tribute.

‘I must tell you with heavy heart that my lovely wife Kelly lost her two-year struggle with breast cancer. With so many people’s affection and support, she fought bravely’ read the article.

‘Please excuse me in advance if we are silent for a bit. I will be taking some time to support my children who have lost their mother.

However, please be aware that as we heal over the coming weeks and months, I will sense your love’ It was over.
