The Kennedy family is once again grappling with unimaginable loss. Saoirse Kennedy Hill, 22 yo. a granddaughter of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, died Thursday at the family compound on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
The 22-year-old Boston College student was set to graduate next year. Her grandmother Ethel Kennedy said in a statement, "the world is a little less beautiful today."
In an op-ed for her high school publication nearly a decade later, Saoirse described a struggle with mental illness. "My depression took root in the beginning of my middle school years and will be with me for the rest of my life," she wrote. She said she took a leave of absence from school to get treatment, and encouraged others to be open about their struggles.
