How to mourn a father, when he was adored by millions of people, who share our sorrow but do not allow us to face death in peace ? Jade and Joy have had to face the very young to the disappearance of Johnny Hallyday, with difficulty, under the eye of the public and its worship, sometimes a heavy one to carry.

To grieve, it is in some way to incorporate the deceased, but when everyone else is embracing it, it does not remain any more large-thing to close… The adults get to make the share of things between the private and public spheres, but for children, it is more difficult. “

According to Stéphane Clerget, the fact that Johnny Hallyday is buried at Saint-Barth is a good thing for Jade and Joy. “Laeticia allows his daughters to facilitate the time of acceptance. They will be able to move on, find sometimes alone, which would not have been possible with a burial in Paris or Saint-Tropez, where the fans would always parade… “
