Jack Schlossberg might not ever ever "process" the untimely death of his sister Tatiana Schlossberg, but it has made him all the more "motivated" to make the most out of his life.
The Kennedy scion, 33, is currently running for Congress to represent New York's 12th Congressional District, competing in a crowded primary race to replace Democrat Jerrold Nadler.
The primary will take place on June 23, just over two years after Tatiana was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, and sixth months after her passing at age 35.

"The world will never be the same for me, not only since she passed away, but since she was diagnosed with cancer about two years ago," he maintained.
Noting she was his "best friend," he said: "We could finish each other's sentences. And no one loved me or was a bigger fan of me of anyone else than my sister."

He continued: "I have an obligation to her, not just to myself, to make the most out of my precious life and all that I've been given in this life to give back to others and make sure that we can fund cures for the type of cancer that took her life, and for other types of cancer."
"So it's made me all the more motivated, engaged, and focused on making the most out of my life," he continued. "I think that there's no higher calling than, than public service, and to me, I think politics is a noble profession, and one that I would be fantastic at serving this district as. So she wanted me to win, and I intend to honor her by doing just that."
Tatiana and Jack are one of three children Caroline Kennedy, only surviving daughter of John F. Kennedy, shares with husband Edwin Schlossberg, with whom she also shares daughter Rose, 37, an artist and filmmaker married to restaurateur Rory McAuliffe.

It was during and after giving birth to Josephine that doctors discovered Tatiana's cancer.
