Tatiana Schlossberg has died just one month after she announced her battle with acute myeloid leukemia. She was 35.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning,” the JFK Library Foundation, on behalf of Schlossberg’s extended family, announced Tuesday via Instagram. “She will always be in our hearts.”
The message was signed by her family, “George, Edwin and Josephine Moran Ed, Caroline, Jack, Rose and Rory.”

Schlossberg — who shared her diagnosis in an essay for the New Yorker, published in November — was initially diagnosed in May 2024 and had been given just a year to live.
As for her treatment options, Schlossberg said she “could not be cured by a standard course.”
“I did not — could not — believe that they were talking about me,” she recalled in her essay.
“I had swum a mile in the pool the day before, nine months pregnant. I wasn’t sick. I didn’t feel sick. I was actually one of the healthiest people I knew.”

“I had a son whom I loved more than anything and a newborn I needed to take care of,” Schlossberg, who shared a 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter with her husband, George Moran, added.
She also shared how her husband — whom she married in September 2017 — supported her through her health battle.
“George did everything for me that he possibly could,” she noted. “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.”

Tatiana’s brother, Jack Schlossberg, reacted to her devastating essay on Instagram the following day.
“Life is short — let it rip,” Jack, 32, wrote atop a photo of a concrete road and another of a blue sky.
Tatiana’s cousin Maria Shriver also shared her support for her, writing via Instagram, “Tatiana is a beautiful writer, journalist, wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. This piece is about what she has been going through for the last year and a half.
“It’s an ode to all the doctors and nurses who toil on the frontlines of humanity. It’s so many things, but best to read it yourself, and be blown away by one woman’s life story.”
