The tragic trend of prominent members of the Kennedy family dying at a young age has sadly continued.

Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, has passed away at the age of 35.

The news of Schlossberg’s death comes after she announced in November that she was diagnosed with cancer.

NBC News reported more on the tragic death of Schlossberg:

She was 35.

“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” the family said in a social media post.

Schlossberg wrote in The New Yorker on Nov. 22 that she had acute myeloid leukemia, with a rare mutation called Inversion 3. She was diagnosed on May 25, 2024, when she gave birth to her second child and a doctor noticed her abnormally high white blood cell count and ordered further tests, she wrote.

She then spent five weeks at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital in New York before beginning chemotherapy at home and later receiving a bone marrow transplant.

Before her death, she wrote the following words in an essay, per ABC News:

She wrote in the essay, “During the latest clinical trial, my doctor told me that he could keep me alive for a year, maybe. My first thought was that my kids, whose faces live permanently on the inside of my eyelids, wouldn’t remember me.”

“My son might have a few memories, but he’ll probably start confusing them with pictures he sees or stories he hears,” she wrote. “I didn’t ever really get to take care of my daughter — I couldn’t change her diaper or give her a bath or feed her, all because of the risk of infection after my transplants. I was gone for almost half of her first year of life. I don’t know who, really, she thinks I am, and whether she will feel or remember, when I am gone, that I am her mother.”

She ended her essay talking about trying to “live and be with” her children.

“But being in the present is harder than it sounds, so I let the memories come and go,” she wrote. “So many of them are from my childhood that I feel as if I’m watching myself and my kids grow up at the same time. Sometimes I trick myself into thinking I’ll remember this forever, I’ll remember this when I’m dead. Obviously, I won’t. But since I don’t know what death is like and there’s no one to tell me what comes after it, I’ll keep pretending. I will keep trying to remember.”

She’s survived by her husband, George Moran, their young son and daughter, as well as her parents, Caroline Kennedy and Ed Schlossberg, and siblings Rose and Jack Schlossberg.
