Tatiana Schlossberg beamed in a sweet photo with her children and husband, George Moran, taken shortly before her death from cancer at the age of 35.In the picture, which was posted on Instagram Monday by the JFK Library Foundation, Schlossberg was seen smiling at the camera while sitting on grass with Moran, their 3-year-old son, Edwin, their 1-year-old daughter, Josephine, and their family dog.Moran looked straight at his wife as he flashed a big grin.
Josephine sat in his lap, while Edwin stood behind his mom with his arms resting on her shoulders.
The family was dressed casually for the photo.“As we remember Tatiana and celebrate her life, our hearts are with her family and all who loved her,” the JFK Library Foundation captioned the image.The next slide in the post featured an excerpt from Schlossberg’s 2019 book, “Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have.”“It’s up to us to create a country that takes seriously its obligations to the planet, to each other, and to the people who will be born into a world that looks different than ours has for the last 10,000 years or so,” the excerpt read.
“…Essentially, what I’m describing is hard work with possibly limited success for the rest of your life. But we have to do it, and at least we will have the satisfaction of knowing we made things better.”The excerpt concluded, “…Come on, it will be fun (?).”
Schlossberg died on Dec. 30 after a battle with acute myeloid leukemia.“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning,” the JFK Library Foundation announced via Instagram at the time. “She will always be in our hearts.”

“My sister had turned out to be a match and would donate her stem cells. (My brother was a half-match, but he still asked every doctor if maybe a half-match was better, just in case.),” she wrote.Schlossberg marveled that Moran, a doctor, “did everything for [her] that he possibly could.
“He talked to all the doctors and insurance people that I didn’t want to talk to; he slept on the floor of the hospital; he didn’t get mad when I was raging on steroids and yelled at him that I did not like Schweppes ginger ale, only Canada Dry. He would go home to put our kids to bed and come back to bring me dinner.”She praised Moran for being “perfect.”
“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,” Schlossberg lamented.She also credited her parents, Caroline Kennedy and Ed Schlossberg, her brother, Jack Schlossberg, and her sister, Rose Schlossberg, with keeping her company during her hospital stays and helping care for her two young children.“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,” she explained, admitting that part of her felt guilty for adding “a new tragedy” to her mother’s life.
During her last clinical trial, Tatiana’s doctor told her he could keep her alive “for a year, maybe,” but she did not specify exactly when that was.
“My first thought was that my kids, whose faces live permanently on the inside of my eyelids, wouldn’t remember me,” she confessed.Tatiana concluded her heartbreaking essay, “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. So many of them are from my childhood that I feel as if I’m watching myself and my kids grow up at the same time.“Sometimes I trick myself into thinking I’ll remember this forever, I’ll remember this when I’m dead. Obviously, I won’t. But since I don’t know what death is like and there’s no one to tell me what comes after it, I’ll keep pretending. I will keep trying to remember.”Tatiana’s maternal grandparents were former President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963, and former first lady Jacqueline “Jackie” Kennedy Onassis, who died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 1994.
