Asked how she coped with the death of 16-year-old son Jett from a fatal seizure in 2009, Preston, 48, tellsHealth magazine for its September issue: "To be honest, [it was] the Scientology Center. I don't know if I would have made it through without it."
She adds about life's lessons she's learned, "Don't sweat the small things. Love your kids like it could be the last moment."
Mother to daughter Ella Bleu, 11, and son Benjamin, born last November, Preston says: "I've always wanted to be a mother, ever since I was 11."
As an actress starting out, she recalls, "I was doing commercials for thousands of dollars, but I'd still babysit for $3 an hour just because I loved it."

Speaking of her past, Preston discusses her liberal upbringing, and says, "There was this fallacy in Hawaii, where I grew up, that pot's not addictive, and that it's natural, and all this other B.S."
But today, she says, "I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. I've done all of that. And now, I live a really clean life."
As for life with John, Preston tells Health, "I'll be sitting there [in our Florida home] doing something really normal with the kids and then all of a sudden I hear, 'Whoosh!' and see the lights of the airplane and he's like, 'Honey, I'm home!' "
She is still hot
