Reply #59: My deepest grief

[chookie]

This is a terrible blow.

God bless the Kennedys -- they made Rosemary a part of their lives all along-- even presenting her at the Court of St James when Joseph was the US Ambassador. They all did their best to include her in their lives, extraordinary and not.

Papa Joseph may have made a tragic mistake in agreeing to a lobotomy for his daughter.... All the more tragic in that his wife, the precious most Rose, had no consent in the matter -- and one can only imagine the emotional tsunami it wrecked upon their lives....

So sad.

All I know is that the family did their best for Rosemary. Senator Ted Kennedy visited her frequently all these years. As someone who has had loved ones in such states, all I can say is, I understand....

I know and love people like dear darling Rosemary...and I am devastated by this news. Deeply hurt.

I'm not religious, and at times I wish I were, and this is one.

Rosemary, may you have become God's music, blessed child.
