Thank you, Marianne, for sharing this. I never would’ve seen the New Yorker piece without you. She’s part of the ocean too, connected to all of us, just as you’ve always taught through A Course in Miracles. I’m holding her in my prayers and keeping hope close for her full remission. You remain such a conduit for hope and love.

I had not read the media story either as I avoid the toxic media.

I love that Marianne turned an article that was a political Big pharma's push for more public funding for genetic modification( GM mrna) into a prayer for a sick woman and for the spiritual practice of love.

Amen.

Wtf is wrong with you? Tatianawrote a beautiful piece, Describing her experience, and slamming her cousin. What rabbit hole have you run down into that makes you think that science isn’t science?

And so it is. Amen. That is high praise coming from you Marianne about her writing. Bless her soul. And will read now repeatedly. 🙏

If you came out of the Kennedy era you never got over it. You watched JFK with joyous hope. When he was murdered they say America lost its innocence. You saw Jacqueline carry on with bravery, dignity and style, what a woman. Their children John jr. and Caroline were our cousins. When John fell from the sky like Icarus you thought, another lost opportunity. Is there a Kennedy curse?

Now Caroline's kids. I had just sent in a donation to John Schlossberg running for Congress the day before I read about Tatianna. Why do we care so much about her? It is because we are part of their family that still represents hope and good? Is it because we can see John, Jackie and Caroline in her face? We will hold a place as Marianne says to "..restore Tatianna to the fullness of her life". Her life may be short but if it ends tomorrow its influence was wide.

Watching her, Rose and Jack grow up, as carefully safeguarded by their mother as she and John were by Jackie, I felt the news yesterday with enormous sorrow. Yes, to the chance that Tatiana will live, to see her children grow and to write that book about the oceans.

I love that you hold open the possibility of another miracle for Tatiana, for so many folks to hold for her as well.. The amplified nature of a group is incredible. The miracle of healing is our natural state, hey. Wishing that all her wishes come true.

I read her article earlier today and just read Marianne's article. Yes, let there be a miracle! A spontaneous remission. And so it is. Amen.

Desde la distancia, ya que no vivo en EEUU, envío todo mi consuelo y compasión a esta joven muchacha y a su sufrida familia. En la unidad de la condición humana, Tatiana ya forma parte de lo que yo llamo "la comunidad global de los buenos corazones"; todos los seres humanos que más allá de las fronteras artificiales y geográficas nos conmovemos ante el dolor de otros hombres, mujeres y niños porque somos conscientes que nuestra existencia, no es otra cosa más que la expresión viviente de Dios en la tierra (como cada uno interprete la idea de Dios). Bendiciones!!

Claudia, que bellisima! Me encanta la idea de la "Comunidad global de los buenos corazones,"!

Con este idea podríamos terminar la guerras en todo el mundo.

Que Dios te bendiga!

May she, while having this diagnosis that suddenly robed her of " future", realize who she really is beyond name and form which will bring her peace and end sadness.

And if she wants a miracle of healing so it will be. We all prayed for her healing.

We have billions of miracles on this planet!

Marianne, I could see the whole world praying for her. Is there any way to put that out, like at a specific time, say 6:00 every night in every time zone??? If it was your audience, each putting it out to their audiences? Or what?

I think many people are. Her essay obviously struck a chord.

That is a great idea! I only subscribe to Substack and you subscribe and Paul Krugman and of course Tatiana. I'm not very good at all connecting and stuff so you'll have to help me a little. I'm really thrilled. If u agree I would like to keep our notes very light & airy. I already sent her a note about the Ocean Conservation Namibia, on YouTube. I got totally hooked on this group that saves seals all day. Also, maybe talk about books such as “A Prarie Home Companion” by Garrison Keilor. And, I will keep her updated on “Clarence” the king of all black labs, very, very funny. I hope you will agree w/ me that I want our thoughts to be light. No pressure, tell her about the seals (I have a lot to say) but no questions, that kind of thing. Absolutely, nothing morose, I've read some of the comments, I know these people mean well, but again she just may want to put her headphones on in the middle of the night and listen to Garrison prattle on about Lake Wobegon. Again, thanks for reaching out.

THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE OF THE DAY💔.

Tatiana Schlossberg’s essay about her leukemia diagnosis, "A Battle With My Blood" was published in The New Yorker yesterday (the anniversary of her grandfather John F. Kennedy’s assassination). It’s one of the most brilliant pieces of memoir I’ve ever had the chance to read."

Tatiana publishes on Substack so there should be no problem contacting her.

Please write her a heart felt note like the one's you would want to read when you're alone in the hospital in the middle of the night looking out the window, scared out of your wits and wondering what the future holds. Please, write her a note. I couldn't find an address for a card. Thank you in advance for thinking about Tatiana, our friend

Tatiana's story: is published on Substack

Marianne, what is beautiful about your piece is how you recognize her personal longings. I was very moved by that.
