Tatiana Schlossberg, the sharp environmental journalist, died on December 30, 2025, at age 35 after a fierce battle with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). She was also an author who penned Inconspicuous Consumption on climate's hidden costs. Granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy through mom Caroline Kennedy and dad Edwin Schlossberg, she revealed her terminal diagnosis in a raw November New Yorker essay, "A Battle With My Blood."
Known for her brilliant work at The New York Times and her award-winning book Inconspicuous Consumption, Tatiana dedicated her career to making complex climate issues easy to understand. She was the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, and she leaves behind her husband, George Moran, and their two young children.

Just months after birthing her second child in May 2024, routine bloodwork uncovered the aggressive cancer with a rare Inversion 3 mutation, which is usually seen in elders. Her family shared via JFK Library Foundation: "Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts."
The JFK Library Instagram post hit hard, echoing Schlossberg's own words from her essay where she grappled with leaving her toddler son and newborn daughter. No service details yet as the family mourns privately amid public grief. Tatiana's brother Jack and sister Rose survive her; her work graced NYT, blending science with everyday eco-action.
In a moving essay titled "A Battle With My Blood," published in The New Yorker just weeks before her passing, Tatiana described the aggressive nature of the disease. Despite undergoing multiple rounds of chemotherapy, two stem cell transplants (including one from her sister, Rose), and participating in cutting-edge clinical trials, the cancer proved terminal.

Five weeks at Columbia-Presbyterian, then home chemo. Stem cell graft led to graft-vs-host woes, skin rashes, frailty too weak to lift kids. CAR-T trials zapped T-cells to hunt blasts, but progression won. Palliative focused comfort these last days.
Beyond her family name, Tatiana carved out a prestigious career as a writer. She didn't just report on the environment; she humanized it. Whether she was jumping into cranberry bogs or skiing across cross-country trails to show the effects of warming winters, her work was always about the "systems" that connect us.
