The Kennedy Curse: A Timeline of Tragedy

Kennedy Sr., Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy (who was pregnant with Edward "Ted" Kennedy at time of this photo), Patricia Kennedy, Kathleen Kennedy, Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. (behind) Rosemary Kennedy.

From plane crashes to assassinations, overdoses to terrible illness, the Kennedy family, America’s most famous political dynasty, has been struck by a whole host of devastating tragedies over the years. After a car crash in 1969, Ted Kennedy, who had by this point lost 4 of his siblings prematurely, wondered if “some awful curse did actually hang over all the Kennedys”.

The sheer number of tragic illnesses and deaths involving the family has led many to deem them ‘cursed’ in some respect. The tragedies suffered by the Kennedys, combined with their glamour, ambition and power, has captured the imagination of people across the world for well over half a century.

We’ve rounded up a timeline of the most notable examples of the so-called Kennedy ‘curse’ below.

Additionally, we have implemented safety measures and protocols to ensure the well-being of our customers and staff. Your safety is our top priority, and we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable shopping experience. We understand that you may still have concerns about visiting physical stores due to the ongoing pandemic.

1941: Rosemary Kennedy lobotomised

Rosemary Kennedy, sister to John F. Kennedy and the eldest Kennedy daughter, was thought to have suffered from a lack of oxygen at birth. As she grew up, she failed to hit the same developmental milestones as other children her age. Her family sent her to schools for the ‘intellectually disabled’ and ensured she had extra time and attention spent on her.

As she reached her early 20s, Rosemary began to experience violent mood swings and fits, making her mental illness much harder to hide. Her father, Joseph Kennedy Sr., decided to subject Rosemary to an experimental new procedure, a lobotomy, choosing not to inform his family until after it was complete.

The lobotomy was botched, leaving Rosemary with the intellectual capabilities of a 2-year-old and taking away her ability to walk and talk. She spent the rest of her life cared for in private institutions, hidden away and discussed in the vaguest of terms as her family believed knowledge of her mental illness could prove damaging for their political ambitions.

Reviews for "The Witch Shop Rebirth: Rediscovering the Magic"

1. Sarah - 2 stars- I was really excited for "The Witch Shop Reopening" as I had enjoyed the previous books in the series. However, I was sorely disappointed with this one. The plot was incredibly weak and predictable, and the characters felt one-dimensional. It felt like the author just wanted to cash in on the success of the previous books without putting in any effort. I was left feeling let down and unsatisfied.

2. Michael - 1 star - I couldn't even finish "The Witch Shop Reopening". The writing was just so messy and the story was all over the place. It felt like the author was trying to include too many subplots without properly developing any of them. The pacing was also off, with some parts dragging on for way too long and others being rushed. Overall, a poorly executed book that I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

3. Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "The Witch Shop Reopening" based on the intriguing premise, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, and the characters lacked depth. The world-building, which was one of the highlights of the previous books, was also lacking in this installment. It felt like the author ran out of ideas and just threw together a mediocre story. I won't be continuing with this series.
