Remembering Tatiana Schlossberg: A Legacy of Love and Courage
In the wake of Tatiana Schlossberg’s tragic passing at the age of 35 on December 30, 2025, her family continues to honor her memory. Tatiana, a renowned writer and activist, was diagnosed with terminal acute myeloid leukemia, a revelation she shared in a poignant essay published in The New Yorker in November.
A Family United in Love
The JFK Library Foundation recently shared a touching photograph of Tatiana, captured just three months before her untimely death. In the image, she is seen radiating joy alongside her husband, George Moran, whom she married in 2017, and their two children, Edwin and Josephine. The snapshot, taken amidst a sunlit backdrop, also features the family’s beloved pet dog. Tatiana, with her characteristic buzzed head, exudes warmth and love.
The caption accompanying the post reads, “As we remember Tatiana and celebrate her life, our hearts are with her family and all who loved her.” It also includes an excerpt from her 2019 book, Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have.
A Life of Influence and Legacy
Tatiana Schlossberg was the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, and the granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy. Her passing was announced by the JFK Library Foundation on December 30, with a heartfelt statement: “Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.”
At the Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Gala in December 2025, Tatiana’s cousin Kerry Kennedy spoke about her bravery in going public with her diagnosis. “You know, she was so incredibly brave to express herself, and right now we’re all holding her in our hearts, and holding Caroline in our hearts,” Kerry told HELLO!.
A Journey of Strength and Resilience
In her New Yorker essay, Tatiana revealed that her leukemia was discovered after the birth of her daughter Josephine in 2024, due to an abnormality in her white blood cell count. She wrote, “A normal white-blood-cell count is around four thousand to eleven thousand cells per microlitre. Mine was a hundred and thirty-one thousand cells per microlitre.”
Tatiana expressed her devastation upon learning of her disease and the immense support she received from her family. “My parents and my brother and sister, too, have been raising my children and sitting in my various hospital rooms almost every day for the last year and a half,” she shared.
Reflecting on her mother’s life, Tatiana poignantly wrote, “Now I have added a new tragedy to [my mother’s] life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. Mostly, I try to live and be with them now. But being in the present is harder than it sounds, so I let the memories come and go.”
Honoring Tatiana’s Memory
As we remember Tatiana Schlossberg, we celebrate her life, her courage, and the love she shared with her family. Her legacy continues to inspire, reminding us of the importance of cherishing every moment with our loved ones.
