Travolta has been open about his struggles and the overall grieving process he and his family have been going through. He actually admitted that he really didn’t find any solace in the support he received from loved ones and thousands of fans. “The most important thing you can do to help another when they are in mourning is to allow them to live it and not complicate it with yours,” he admitted. “I felt so saturated with everyone’s sadness that I didn’t know what to do.”
