Caroline Kennedy Holds Her Granddaughter Tight During Heartbreaking Farewell to Daughter Tatiana
Caroline Kennedy was photographed exiting her daughter Tatiana Schlossberg’s funeral service with her granddaughter in her arms.
On Monday, January 5, Kennedy laid her daughter to rest at St. Ignatius Loyola in New York City. The former ambassador, who is the only surviving daughter of Jackie Kennedy and former President John F. Kennedy, was accompanied by her husband, Ed Schlossberg, 80, and their children, Rose, 37, and Jack, 32.
As she exited the church, Kennedy walked with her 1-year-old granddaughter, Josephine, in her arms and Tatiana’s widower, George Moran, 36, who held hands with their 3-year-old son Edwin.
Six days before the service, the family had announced the death of their “beautiful Tatiana,” writing, “She will always be in our hearts.” Tatiana died at age 35 after a battle with a rare blood cancer, which she opened up about in a November essay in The New Yorker.
“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,” she wrote. “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 a touching ode to her husband, a doctor whom she married in 2017, Tatiana wrote, “He is perfect, and I feel so cheated and so sad that I don’t get to keep living the wonderful life I had with this kind, funny, handsome genius I managed to find.”
Tatiana, the secondborn of Kennedy’s three children, was an environmental journalist and author. In addition to working as a science and climate reporter for The New York Times, she wrote for several other publications, including The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Vanity Fair. In 2019, she published her book Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have.
