Matriarch, 92, praying alone as death curse claims two more!
FOR nearly six decades, Robert F. Kennedy’s widow, Ethel, has bravely endured a cruel, unrelenting storm of heartbreak, but the matriarch of America’s most famous family is now at her breaking point with the senseless deaths of Maeve Kennedy McKean and her son Gideon in a Maryland boating disaster, stunned friends tell GLOBE.
While the 92-year-old grande dame showed her typical strength and didn’t shed a public tear when informed of the tragedy on Chesapeake Bay, behind the scenes Ethel was shaken to the core and wondering if her family is, indeed, being stalked by a deadly curse, insiders say.
She’s particularly devastated because the double deaths of granddaughter Maeve and eight-year-old great-grandson Gideon come less than a year after Saoirse Kennedy Hill, 22, died from an accidental overdose of methadone, Prozac, Valium and booze inside Ethel’s sprawling compound in Hyannis Port, Mass.
“All of the Kennedys look to Ethel to keep things together, but this latest trauma has sucked the life out of her,” a relative says.
