Jack Schlossberg Honors Late Sister Tatiana With Emotional Message on Her First Birthday Since Death

Jack Schlossberg is sharing a message of hope months after the heartbreaking loss of his sister, Tatiana Schlossberg.

Tatiana, the 35-year-old daughter of Caroline Kennedy and designer Ed Schlossberg, died on December 30 after battling acute myeloid leukemia, The New York Times confirmed.

On Tuesday, May 5, which would have marked Tatiana’s 36th birthday, Jack posted an emotional Instagram video, sharing the comfort he finds in May and the sense that brighter days eventually return after difficult seasons.

“Hey everybody, it’s May,” he said while recording himself during a car ride. “I want to talk a little bit about the month of May because it’s a special month. It’s the month when things surprise you. When nature says, ‘It’s all gonna be OK.’ ”

The 33-year-old congressional candidate went on to describe the arrival of spring in New York City, speaking about sunshine, blooming flowers and the emotional lift that follows a long winter.

“May hits you like a bus with a little bit of something I like to call surprise and delight,” he added.

While Jack didn’t mention Tatiana in the clip, his emotional message coincided with his late sister’s birthday.

He captioned the post, “Thoughts …. It’s gonna be okay !!”

Members of the Kennedy family bid a final goodbye to Tatiana at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in Manhattan on January 5 for an emotional funeral service.

Caroline Kennedy, Ed Schlossberg, Jack, and Tatiana’s sister, Rose Schlossberg, attended together, while Tatiana’s husband, George Moran, arrived alongside the couple’s children, Eddie, 4, and Josie, who turns 2 later this month.

Public figures, including former President Joe Biden, John Kerry, David Letterman, Carolina Herrera, and The New Yorker editor David Remnick, were also seen at the service, as confirmed by Fox News.

Just weeks before her death, the award-winning author and environmental journalist shared a deeply personal essay in The New Yorker on November 22.

She bravely opened up about her treatment journey, fears for her family, and the pain of preparing to leave behind her husband and two young children.

“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,” Tatiana 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.”

She also opened up about the unwavering support she received from her family throughout her illness.

“My parents and my brother and sister [Rose], 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.

“This has been a great gift,” she added, “even though I feel their pain every day.”
