In November, climate journalist Schlossberg announced that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. He said in one of his articles that he was given less than a year to live.

Schlossberg was the daughter of designer Edwin Schlossberg and diplomat Caroline Kennedy.

In an article titled “War on My Blood” published in The New Yorker last month, Schlossberg revealed that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia after giving birth to her second child in May 2024.

“My first thought was that my children, whose faces live permanently inside my eyelids, would not remember me,” she wrote.

Schlossberg described the treatments he received, including chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, but shared that doctors did not give him a good prognosis.

He also wrote of the pain he feared his death would cause to his family, who had endured many personal tragedies. His grandfather, President Kennedy, was assassinated in 1963, and his uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr. He died in 1999.

“All my life I tried to be good, to be a good student, a good sister and a good daughter, to protect my mother and never make her sad or angry,” Schlossberg said. he wrote.

“Now I’ve added another tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.”
