"The nooks and crannies of it are our private situation, but we're handling it."

Jett, 16, died last year after complications with Kawasaki disease, a condition that strikes the lymph nodes, skin and mucous membranes of the mouth, nose and throat.

Travolta said the tragedy had helped him realize what was most important in life.
