Sly Answer

Sylvester Stallone is finally speaking about the death of his son Sage ... calling it a "horrible situation ... but it's something that is reality in life."

Stallone just appeared on "GMA" to promote his new "Expendables" movie ... when the reporter asked how Stallone was "hanging in there" since Sage passed away last month.

"It's tough it's very very tough," Stallone said ... adding, "But if you have good friends and your family’s support, it's just something that’s a horrible situation but ... hopefully it will heal and you try to get through it but it's something that is a reality in life."

It's a no-brainer to say that it is devastating to lose a child.  Sage had suffered from several problems in his short life, including living up to the reputation of the son of Sylvester Stallone.  It's realistic that life has to go on, but the timing was awful for a man about to take on a publicity tour.  Already, there are grumblings from people who don't feel he mourned long enough.  I say, he mourned, and it's not like I am privy to his emotional state.  I think he's working because it's what he does, and there is no less love for his lost son.
