thosekennedys: It’s just all so unfair, Ethel said to Jackie holding both of her hands. It was November 1973, ten years since the assassination of President Kennedy. To commemorate the sad anniversary, Ethel hosted a memorial Mass in the large pool house at Hickory Hill. Ethel and Jackie usually didn’t spend a lot of time commiserating about their sadness. However, gatherings for the anniversaries of Jack and Bobby’s deaths couldn’t help but bring to the fore the widows’ mutual anguish. Just look at us, Ethel said, weeping. We’re all wrecks, Jackie, and we’ll never get over it. Oh God, Jackie exclaimed now swept away by emotions and also crying. Nothing could be worse than this, could it? Could it get any worse? Ethel agreed. It didn’t have to happen, Jackie. It just didn’t have to happen. -- source link
