Earlier this morning, Tatiana Schlossberg died following a battle with leukemia. She was just 35 years old.

Her family, including her husband, George Moran, and their two children, as well as her mother Caroline Kennedy, father Ed Schlossberg, brother Jack, sister Rose, and sister-in-law Rory, announced the sad news via a statement on the JFK Library Foundation’s Instagram account.

“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” they wrote in tribute.

Any plans for a funeral have yet to be shared publicly.

In November, on the anniversary of her grandfather President Kennedy’s shocking death, Tatiana, who was an environmental journalist and author, revealed her terminal diagnosis in a moving essay titled “A Battle with My Blood” .

“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 wrote. “They have held my hand unflinchingly while I have suffered, trying not to show their pain and sadness in order to protect me from it. This has been a great gift, even though I feel their pain every day. For my whole life, I have tried to be good, to be a good student and a good sister and a good daughter, and to protect my mother and never make her upset or angry. Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.”

In perhaps the most emotionally charged entry into the ongoing Kennedy family feud, Schlossberg also pointedly chronicled the ways in which her cousin RFK Jr.’s policies and those of the Trump administration will impact—and already are impacting—cancer patients and the state of women’s healthcare. “I worried about funding for leukemia and bone-marrow research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I worried about the trials that were my only shot at remission. Early in my illness, when I had the postpartum hemorrhage, I was given a dose of misoprostol to help stop the bleeding. This drug is part of medication abortion, which, at Bobby’s urging, is currently ‘under review’ by the Food and Drug Administration.”

The essay was published just weeks after her brother, Jack Schlossberg, announced his campaign to run for Congress in New York. At the time, he shared a link to the article on his Instagram account, followed by a post captioned: “Life is short — let it rip.”
