2. That's so sad.

Another Kennedy who died too young.

[ananda]

8. That family has so many sad deaths.

It's unreal.

And not just sad for them, sad for the USA
and the world too.

Sigh

[Easterncedar]

3. I just read her article in The New Yorker

What a terrible terrible loss. She was so young. Her poor husband.

[FakeNoose]

4. Oh my, I'm sorry to read this....

R.I.P. Tatiana Schlossberg! Condolences to the family.

They've endured so much in the last 60+ years ....

[marybourg]

33. 80 years. JFK's brother, Joe jr. was killed in WWII, and sister Rosemarie

died young in a mental institution.

[Freddie]

34. And Kathleen (JFK's sister) killed in a plane crash in 1948

[FakeNoose]

36. Are any of JFK's siblings still living?

I don't believe so ... Ted was the youngest brother and he passed a few years ago.

[LisaL]

38. Rosemarie didn't die young.

She was 86 when she died.

6. Oh, damn. I have been following her case and know damned well research ongoing until Trump/Musk/RFK Jr cancelled

was targeted to her rare form of leukemia. Not that it necessarily would have afforded an "emergency compassion" intervention at this stage, but it was halted before it could even be explored as such.

I am so sorry for this brave woman, her poor children and husband, Carolyn and husband, Edwin, and all the others who desperately wanted to save her. And I curse those who did NOTHING but put obstacles in her way. I don't think I need to name them.

But, for Tatiana... May there be a peaceful realm, free of pain and full of comfort that awaits.

[Botany]

10. That family has given so much and felt such pain.

Did Tatiana have any kids?

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. Yes, a boy and a girl.

They're quite young. I think that girl is two.

[Botany]

32. Thank you I hope those kids are covered with love from family and left alone.

And may any paparazzi that bother them get beaten bad.

17. The leukemia discovered after childbirth

August 2024. What is sad —she was immediately put into treatment, resulting in limited time with her newborn daughter.

[niyad]

48. Two. The leukemia was discovered during the birth of her daughter

last year.

[Grim Chieftain]

11. This absolutely breaks my heart

The Kennedy family has endured so much...too much

May compassionate thoughts and healing vibes be a comfort to them now and in the days to come.

[oldtime dfl_er]

28. Brings tears to my eyes

For the whole family, for the little children she left behind, for her husband, for all the Kennedys, and especially for Caroline, who has already endured so much tragedy and grief.

[Mike Nelson]

29. Thank you, Tatiana...

... you were a profile in courage. I believe great words and thoughts will be present when the Kennedy Center recovers its good name.

[TBF]

30. I read her whole story in the New Yorker -

so sad regarding her passing. Not that any time is good, but she was only 35.

[Paladin]

31. I wonder if trump can avoid making some shitty comment about this tragedy.

I'm sorry, that's the first thought that came to me, given the disgusting regime we're burdened with.

May God bless Ms. Schlossberg's spirit and memory, and give her long-suffering family some comfort at this sad time.

[niyad]

49. Of course he made, and reposted, many ugly comments.

[Paladin]

51. I never doubted he'd live down to my expectations. (nt)

[anti-repub]

52. No need to apologize.

You are so right in your comment, both about Ms. Schlossberg and the vile, vulgar trump.

[COL Mustard]

35. Damn. That was quick.

I knew she was diagnosed and had a terminal condition, but I didn't expect her to go this soon. RIP and condolences to Caroline and the rest of her family.

[niyad]

50. Acute myeloid leukemia with an added, even rarer, factor called inversion 3.

[choie]

37. Jesus christ life is so unfair.

[Fla Dem]

39. A wonderful person gone much to soon. Rest in Peace.

[Evolve Dammit]

40. She will be truly missed. A true journalist.

[The Blue Flower]

41. Breaks the heart

That baby will never remember her mom. And that mom, in whatever state she is, will never forget the baby she left behind.

[red dog 1]

42. "She will always be in our hearts."

46. I remember reading that article. Whow. she passed over very quick. May the family find peace.

[NBachers]

43. She is survived by siblings Rose and Jack Schlossberg. The unfairness of who gets to live, and who has to die . . . .

[LetMyPeopleVote]

44. May she rest in peace

45. ..Eunice Kennedy Shriver had a particularly close relationship with her older sister, and

I did not know this.


............Eunice Kennedy Shriver had a particularly close relationship with her older sister, and great empathy for Rosemary and others who faced similar challenges. In 1962, Mrs. Shriver started a summer day camp in her own back yard for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, a camp which evolved into Special Olympics, now a global competition that involves 1.4 million athletes from 150 countries.

Rosemary Kennedy died on January 7, 2005 at age 86. Eunice Shriver said in her eulogy that Rosemary had left a legacy that was long and deep. Along with inspiring Mrs. Shriver’s own work with Special Olympics, Rosemary had inspired her brother, President John F. Kennedy, to initiate sweeping legislation designed to improve the quality of life for Americans with disabilities. She had inspired her sister Jean Kennedy Smith to start Very Special Arts and her nephew, Anthony Shriver, to start Best Buddies. Hospitals, schools and other such facilities around the world have been named in honor of Rosemary Kennedy.
