Robert F Kennedy's Widow, Ethel, Hospitalized

The widow of US Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Ethel Kennedy, is receiving medical care following a recent health issue.

Joseph Kennedy III shared on X that human rights advocate, Ethel Kennedy, is currently hospitalized but resting comfortably, with her family by her side.

Joseph divulged that Ethel had enjoyed a wonderful summer and transition into fall, but her health condition unexpectedly changed. "Unfortunately on Thursday morning she suffered a stroke in her sleep. She was brought to an area hospital where she is now receiving treatment," he said.

Joseph noted that Ethel, known for her strength and fulfilling life, is receiving attentive care while her family supports her during this time. Ethel is close to her kin, including her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nephews, and nieces, whom she enjoys spending time with.

According to Joseph, during the summer, "she was able to get out on the water, visit the pier, and enjoy many lunches and dinner with family." Those moments were a treasured gift, benefiting everyone involved, including Ethel.

Sadly, Ethel has now been hospitalized, but the former US representative has encouraged everyone to keep her in their thoughts and prayers. Joseph has also requested that the family's privacy be respected during this time.

Ethel, who is passionate about advocating for social issues, turned 96 on April 11, 2024. Joseph showed the world how Ethel enjoyed her special day surrounded by her big family in a heartwarming photo on X. He captioned the post, "Happy 96th to the World’s most amazing Gramma!! 🎂."

Her daughter, Kerry Kennedy, also celebrated Ethel's birthday, highlighting some of her greatest achievements. She penned on Instagram, "My mother founded @rfkhumanrights in the fall of 1969 to carry forth my father’s legacy. For more than half a century, my mom has been a champion for justice, standing with human rights defenders around the globe."

Kerry stated that Ethel's bravery and commitment to human rights inspire their team daily. Her influence drives the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, a non-profit organization, to ensure government accountability and advocate for human rights education and youth organizing.

Additionally, they promote dignity and equality in workplaces and investment sectors while supporting grassroots changemakers. In recognition of all Ethel has accomplished, Kerry praised her mother, gushing, "Happy birthday to the greatest mom I could ever imagine! 🎂❤️."
