JFK’s granddaughter has passed away less than two years after becoming a mother — here’s the latest information
Tatiana Schlossberg, 35, daughter of Caroline Kennedy, has passed away after a courageous battle with terminal cancer. She faced her diagnosis with honesty and deep love for her family, openly sharing her journey from May 2024 onward.
Her health crisis began shortly after the birth of her second child in May 2024. Hours after delivering her daughter, doctors discovered her white blood cell count was dangerously high. While initially thought to be pregnancy-related, the possibility of leukemia emerged.
She was diagnosed with a rare form of acute myeloid leukemia, uncommon for her age. The specific mutation, Inversion 3, made her case particularly unusual. Despite being an avid athlete, she was confronted with a profound shock.
Her treatment was grueling, involving intense chemotherapy and two bone marrow transplants. After a relapse following the first transplant using her sister’s cells, she underwent a second from an unrelated donor and joined a CAR-T cell therapy trial.
As a mother, her heartbreak was profound. She spent much of her infant daughter’s first year isolated due to infection risks. She cherished creating simple, lasting memories with her young son, focusing on moments of laughter and comfort.
Beyond her illness, Tatiana was an accomplished environmental journalist and author, winning the Rachel Carson Award in 2020. She married George Moran in 2017, who provided unwavering support throughout her illness, managing their family and her care.
Despite relentless challenges, she found strength in her family’s love and everyday joys. Her courage, devotion, and passion for life leave a lasting legacy of meaning and hope in the face of profound loss.
