JAKE GYLLENHAAL’s family and sweetheart REESE WITHERSPOON – worried about his ongoing despair over the death of best buddy HEATH LEDGER – are persuading him to seek bereavement therapy to work through his pain, say close friends.

Heath and Jake became such close friends while co-starring in “Brokeback Mountain,” that Jake’s godfather to his pal’s 2-year-old daughter Matilda – and when news of the untimely death broke, Jake left the set of his current movie, “Brothers,” to attend memorial services. Insiders say Reese tells pals that even when she and Jake are alone together, he’s lost in his own thoughts and almost totally incommunicado.
