Schlossberg, the daughter of Kennedy’s daughter, Caroline Kennedy, and Edwin Schlossberg, revealed she had terminal cancer in a November 2025 essay in The New Yorker. A family statement disclosing her death was released Tuesday on social media by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” the family’s statement said. It did not disclose a cause of death or say where she died.
Schlossberg was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in May 2024 at 34. After the birth of her second child, her doctor noticed her white blood cell count was high. It turned out to be acute myeloid leukemia with a rare mutation, mostly seen in older people.
In the essay, “A Battle With My Blood,” Schlossberg recounted going through rounds of chemotherapy and two stem cell transplants and participating in clinical trials. During the most recent trial, she wrote, her doctor told her “he could keep me alive for a year, maybe.”

Ouch she was so young and it went so fast

Poor Caroline. A life full of losses.

Poor Caroline. A life full of losses.

And she was one of the nicest and most underwhelming of women. She used to ask me for a change of a quarter a few times at my gym in order to use the pay phone there. I never took it forward and just gave her what she asked for.

She and I are the same age and lost our dads in the same year, I’ve always felt connected to her. One of the good Kennedys.

Groundbreaking legendary dancer Carmen de Lavallade has died at age 94.

My first remembrance of her is in the "Beat Out Dat Rhythm On A Drum" sequence of the film "Carmen Jones" with Pearl Bailey and Dorothy Dandridge as a featured dancer, but her contributions to modern dance with Alvin Ailey, her late husband Geoffrey Holder and so many other venues (including being one of the first Black prima ballerinas at the Metropolitan Opera) are astounding.

I remember her as a Kennedy Center honoree. She was certainly a trailblazer.

And speaking of the Kennedy family I read Tatiana’s piece “A Battle With My Blood” in the New Yorker. Harrowing.

There was a steak house - excellent btw - the couple who owned, the wife had an obsession with the quints. The restaurant had memoriabia in every area of the restaurant. The dolls and the doll clothing was displayed in the waiting area/bar.

The food was awesome, the environment was creepy. Especially after I read about the experimental treatment they got in residential facilities

I totally loved Diane Keaton. One of my favorite movies was Baby Boomers. She was such a versatile actress, and actor James Spader was so young in the movie.

Just came across this post of Nancy Meyers (director of Baby Boom): https://www.instagram.com/p/DS5sB1mEmKC/
