JFK’s grandson Jack Schlossberg, 32, attends sister Tatiana’s funeral after her death from cancer at 35; President Biden also present.

In her book, Inconspicuous Consumption, Tatiana explored the unseen effects of daily habits—such as food sourcing, household energy use, and material consumption—on the environment.

She emphasized that even small, informed adjustments could accumulate into meaningful ecological impact. The book resonated with readers because it offered clarity without condescension and underscored the interconnectedness of personal choices, policy, and global sustainability.

Reviewers praised her ability to translate environmental science into narratives that were both informative and deeply human, demonstrating that caring for the planet could align seamlessly with everyday life.

Beyond her professional achievements, Tatiana’s role as a mother, daughter, sister, and wife defined much of her daily life. She frequently wrote about the challenges of balancing career ambitions with family responsibilities, particularly as a new mother navigating the pressures of an unforgiving professional landscape.

Her public reflections on illness highlighted her concern for shielding loved ones from unnecessary worry, while her personal correspondence and essays revealed a profound empathy for the broader human condition.
