Jack Schlossberg paid tribute to his late sister Tatiana Schlossberg in a touching social media post on the day of her funeral.
The 32-year-old politician shared several quotes on Instagram on Monday. The first quote was from her sister’s book, “Unscrupulous Consumption,” published in 2019.
“It is up to us to build a nation 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 our world has for the past 10,000 years or so,” the quote reads.
“Basically, what I’m describing is hard work that may have limited success for the rest of our lives. But we have to do it, and at least we’ll have the satisfaction of having improved the situation.”
“…Come on, it’s fun (?)”
He also introduced several poems about grief and loss, including Alfred Tennyson’s “Crossing the Bar,” Elizabeth Bishop’s “One Art,” Robert Frost’s “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening,” and Rita S. Beer’s “Just a Memory Away.”
Jack also quoted several former presidents, including Abraham Lincoln and his own grandfather, John F. Kennedy, saying, “There are three things that are true in life: God, human folly, and laughter. The first two are beyond our comprehension, so we must do what we can about the third.”
The author then concluded his post with a photo of him and Tatiana with their hands on their chests as they attended what appeared to be a political event. Also in the photo were her sister Rose and father Edwin Schlossberg.
Jack’s post was shared on the same day he reunited with Tatiana’s family to mourn her death at a private funeral in New York City’s Upper East Side neighborhood.
I heard her youngest brother spoke at the ceremony, which also included a Catholic mass.
On November 22, Tatiana revealed that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in May 2024 and was given one year to live.
She died on Dec. 30, and the JFK Library Foundation announced on social media on behalf of Schlossberg’s family, “Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.” She was 35 years old.
The deceased journalist is survived by her husband George Moran and two young children, her parents Caroline Kennedy and Edwin, and her brothers Jack and Rose.
