Kelly Preston: 'Too soon' to talk about losing son
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kelly Preston is pulling out of the annual Women's Conference, where she was to break her silence about the death of her teenage son.

The actress said in a statement Friday that she is "still deeply in the process of healing, and it's just too soon."

Preston was set to participate in a panel on grief at the annual event hosted by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver.

Preston and her husband, John Travolta, have kept low profiles since their 16-year-old son, Jett, died following a seizure in January.

The Women's Conference will be held Oct. 26-27 in Long Beach, Calif.

  • I couldn't fathom the deep pain of losing a child. I pray each day their pain eases to a bearable level. The loss of a child could never completely leave us.
