Her voice sounds like an animated child's voice, like you'd hear on a cartoon. She was a devoted mother central to her children's upbringing. Her strong faith got her through. Her subservience though is somewhat baffling, the stance her husband could did no wrong. Denial. Isn't it human nature to challenge things? It's like she went along with whatever happened.
@@ReviewsChannel-e4rthe old man rubbed her nose in the fact of his cheating.

Too bad Joan, Teddy’s wife couldn’t abide by the rules, gave birth as required, but drank. She finally dried out, divorced teddy and hopefully had a good life.
She was a full of **** social climbing Vatican kook. I still feel sorry though for any mother that loses her children because of murder or disease. Yet she and her pro-Hitler husband Joseph were shallow enough to put their daughter, Rosemary, away and have her given a lobotomy. These people were shallow, cold as ice and crooked as a corkscrew. Many people that were famous in the 1930s supported the The Nazi Party officially the National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP). But when the Germans tried to reclaim their lost lands from their empire and then some, people had to choose a side. Joseph Jr. died from a military accident near Blythburgh, Suffolk, England.
In spite of all the tragic/horrific events that she and the rest of her family went through, she was a strong-headed and inspiring woman who has lived to an old, ripe age of 104. Keep RIP, Rose! 🌹 🙏🏾 ❤️ 😇
Her strength is incredibly overwhelming & beautiful. How she speaks, what she says, so unpretentious & selfless like my grandmother. I'm such a lucky man to have her still

I will love to know you better in trust, and Honesty. Am John Patrick, from Nashville Tennessee; where are you from if i may ask?
Such a strong matriarch . To endure the multitudes of tragedies in her lifetime with dignity and courage speaks volumes to her character. With that said you could still feel her pain towards the end of this presentation when she spoke about her children's demise.
I truly believe her faith in God was real and helped her through all the grief. I had a wonderful friend, also Irish (died at 99 1/2 and as sharp mentally as a younger person.She too had that faith..She wasn't fanatical but very private and prayed every morning...She did her rosary every day and prayed every morning...I'm not that religious but respect it if it can be a positive force.
I read her book, Times to Remember. She said, "God gave my children many gifts but He witheld one gift---long life.". Such a wonderful lady with strong faith & dignity in good & traguc times. May she rest in eternal peace.
Husband was a serial cheater, he had their eldest daughter Rosemary lobotomized without her consent. Lost two of her children in airplane accidents, two of her sons assassinated, etc., yet managed to push on & not wallow in self-pity, truly inspiring woman who lived to be 104 .
@@ratso69ful81 Your welcome Ratso. Your comment was well studied and your statements were profound & true to form. Great commentary. A man who knows right from wrong & good from bad & evil. I like your ways of thinking in that my friend. You also have a kind heart in recognizing what Rose Kennedy was all about. She was a martyr & stood tall amongst all the difficulties that constantly surrounded her & that was due to her loving family members plus her undying faith in God.
I had never seen the side of Rose she presented when she spoke of resignation to her losses. A word I would choose is disappointment. She invested so much and they were cut down just as the return was coming in. This was a very human side. Of course she struggled, just not publicly.
My Grandmother was a Fitzgerald....sweet, small but strong, red with freckles....very learned, was a school teacher on the plains of MN...small school out there. Many times she put a blanket on me when sleeping when young. I put blanket on her the night she passed.
Of all the Kennedys, I admire Rose most because she was the backbone of the Kennedys. Having lost so many of her children, she still found time to handle these tragedies with such grace and kindness. She took her marriage seriously and was all about the better or for worse. Joseph was a parasite for treating her the way he did with all his adultery but she still stood by him.
How is it admirable to stand by a cheater and abuser? How is this woman, who refused to attend her daughters wedding and funeral because she went against the catholic church faith admirable? rose cant even recognize and process her own emotions and instead says "god has me". This whole family is full of shit
@@char7945Rose was the epitome of a staunch, devout Catholic. It was a different time back then. However, I cannot imagine refusing to attend my daughter's funeral. I believe the way in which Rose comforted herself is by declaring that Kathleen had died "in a state of grace." Even Eunice was telling some white lies in this interview. I was surprised when she said she quizzed her mother about her autobiography and the fact that Rose didn't mention one disagreement or argument throughout the book. When the interviewer asked Rose about it, Rose firmly denied ever having any arguments or disagreements with her husband. That is probably how she survived all the tragedies. Denial.
One of the most interesting and fascinating Kennedy family interviews I have ever come across. But yes, sad, too. It must have been overwhelming the things that Rose had to endure. It is obvious how much her faith influenced not only her life but the whole family's.
Hey there! I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hearing back from you!😊
AMAZING INTERVIEW! God Bless and Keep Her Soul. We can all take away hope, inspiration and wisdom from this program. In many ways, in spite of their wealth and power--they experienced the same joys, sorrows, successes and failures that any given family might have. Her FAITH made the difference!
My grandfather was a John Fitzgerald from County wexford, mum always told us that grandad was a relative of Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, one of my older brothers have been investigating,,it would be lovely if it turns out to be true, my parents are both in their spiritual home now, God bless them ❤
I was born in New York but raised in galway. Moved back to the US when I was 18 ( a penniless immigrant of sorts) and went on to spend 8 years in the Marine Corps getting my higher education fully paid for. You have to admire the Kennedy family and everything they achieved in the U.S. Great documentary as always CR
I salute you Oisin. Blessings galore to you and thank you for your military service. You say you were a penniless immigrant - well, if I may say - you had so much to bring to the table because my experience with the Irish immigrant is they are honorable people with integrity and compassion and a deep sense of equality for all and a need to serve humanity. So many attributes that money can never buy. May the road rise to meet you. My brother, an immigrant, served in Korea. Sadly, he passed in his 50's. Beautiful soul and so handsome. Slainte.
The Roman Catholic Church is trying to erase history with Jesuits and Rosemary was not retarded and you are not supposed to lobotomize and sterilize women for not obeying church rules.
I spent my honeymoon in a cottage on the compound in 1973. It’s a lovely place however I think people would be surprised how many other homes are around it. There aren’t any tall fences or anything to suggest what lie up the driveway. Everyone was respectful of privacy. I never realized, back then, what a historic place it was. I was fortunate to begin my marriage in such a beautiful place.
Feel for Rose. The devastation/pain she went through losing each her son died in tragedy. What A strong lady was still able to live over a century. RIP 🙏🙏
She lost her husband and several children and grand children before she died. She definitely carried the cross for her family!! Just as Queen Elizabeth did too who's CASTle was ruined by her 2 of 3 sons! and her husband who had many affairs just like JOSEPH did too and Jack and Teddy who killed MARY JO
I believe that Rose Kennedy was a devout Roman Catholic and her faith sustained and bolstered her. She bore the loss of FOUR of her nine children. It's the most ghastly and horrendous loss a mother can bear. I don't know how she was strong enough to withstand such losses. 😞
Rose held it altogether and deserves far more credit than she has been given, as men were given so much validity in those days. But she wasn't treated well, taken very much for granted. Thank Goodness things have changed somewhat and we can see things for what they are now . . .
Grow up to be strong , hardworking and honest men.. well, I guess not honest to their wives 😢 Christian ideals out the window for some of her children.

Courageous lady - spiritual. Going to church was very important in Irish families. They got strength from their faith. Recall how my mom/dad had all of us say rosary every night. Mom prayed for everyone. Blessings.
@@regenahregenah6510 God bless you too. Gathering together like this as children had so many benefits then and now. It also helped children to calm down before bed and filled our minds with positive words.
Gathering the family is a lost art. I remember my mother always said ….we will all be together at dinner. Unfortunately, so many families are so involved in sports, etc. and that lost time with family is troubling.
What a gracious woman. She raised her children and grandchildren to be true American patriots. Well done, Rose, well Done. Rest In Peace and the same to JFK. He was a beautiful man and the great hope for us taken away waaaaaaay too soon.

They're all gone now but the sun still rises and sets over their old compound and the waves still lap against their old beach. We're all just passing through this life.
What a refreshing interview with Rose Kennedy. She had straightforward Christian values - I believe these were reflected in JFK'S policies throughout his tenure - It's such a shame that the hate of his enemies brought him down and has brought the country to such a miserable low point
Truly truly, the Kennedy’s are cursed, as my father used to say. ( we are Kennedy’s) My father met Jack kennedy at a dinner when Joe senior was stationed in London- my father and JFK sat next to each other and were astounded to find that these two young men were not only born in the same year, but in the same month and the same day of the month. ( 29 May, 1917) We too had a large family, but had tragedy after tragedy with my brother Liam first to go, at 20, drowned on a fishing trip in a massive gale. My mother the next year, at 44, cancer, and on and on it went. We are now decimated. Rose is so strong and inspiring, we didn’t have anyone like that to pull us through. 😔
Ahhh it must be very hard for you. I feel your pain as you wrote. I’m 74,a Candian grain farmers wife and my family is also struggling with cancer, hip replacements and mother is 98. We lost our father over 30 years ago. We also are a Christian family and most have put their trust and life in Gods hands. Not all is easy,and I live far from them all. I’ve sometimes thought of Rosemary because I have a daughter with a disability and I think Bonnie’s life could have been even worse, had she had Rosemarys treatment. I just wanted to encourage you this evening. I think there are blessings not to be wealthy or famous. There is an old Irish saying about wishing the wind would always blow at your back,,,,,sorry forgot the rest,,,,but I do wish you well. Your family branch matters too and I hope you’ve written your memories down.

Much has been written about the Kennedy family. Some true some total nonsense, However, Rose Kennedy is a remarkable Lady. She faced so much tragedy in her life. Yet, she remained strong and kept her faith.
Uhhhhhhhh when she lost her daughter Kit, she said it was an act of God because she married or wanted to marry a divorced man. She was flying to their home with the guy to introduce him to Joe, who was goi g to give his blessing. Rose was out of her mind over it and thought it was preferable that Kit DIE as opposed to her marrying this guy and “ruining the family name” or “offending god”. Jesus Christ lady
@@julianakleijn9254 She was called Kick who died in 1948. She was on her way in a plane to meet her father but crashed over the Alps to discuss her situation. Not called Kit. Their oldest daughter, Rosemary was lobotomized in 1941.. Joe, Jr died in 1944 over the English channel in a plane. JFK 1963. and Bobby in 1968. Almost lost Ted in 1964 in a plane crash. Mr Kennedy was the only family member at Kick's funeral and broken hearted.
@@julianakleijn9254 Her Daughter married the Duke of Devonshire ! Which should have pleased Rose being a Prolific social climber . Disowned her daughter for not marrying Catholic , but religiously accepted her husband's constant philandering. Refused to attend her funeral.
What a strong woman. 105 and never wavered. the who family were not perfect and strong and great family. A vast difference than we have today. He would never steal things from the White House.
Regrettably you are largely correct here. The disowning of Patricia over her marrying outside the church was cruel and bigoted. The whole family went along with that. The medical meddling that destroyed the life of Rosemary was awful, but also the norm for the time. Overall, the family of Rose and Joseph was the quintessential hard-hearted emotionally destitute rich family.
Yes. She spoke of the family’s dinner conversations. I wondered how many times her husband was home for dinner. I’d have had knots in my stomach with a table full of kids and my husband out drinking and spending the evening in the arms of another woman. I’d doubt I’d have the strength to guide polite discourse of history, politics, and everyone’s developing views. I’m imagining chaos.
@baibamennika4480 absolutely! All of these comments about how strong Rose was. She could never have survived a day walking in my shoes or living my life. She’d have been a wilted Rose.
I would be hard pressed to think of a modern day mother under 40 ( non celebrity or political) who could conduct themselves with such strength and dignity while caring for such a large family and endure such tragedy.
Same thought here. What would that have wrought, having the daughter of Boston's mayor pursue a full political career, like any son would have? She would have risen right to the top and taken everybody with her.
I love and support St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC because it is Irish and it brings back beautiful memories of my Irish-English Catholic high school which I attended in Montreal, Quebec in the 1970s.
The Catholic Church is exposed decades.. The satanic blasphemous entity forewarned prophesied in Revelation.. It is leading false peace and unity in the last days .. The new headquarters in Abu Dhabi "fraternal brotherhood".. blasphemy called Interfaith Included in the agreements is a Hindu Temple .. There is no "Interfaith" religion... There is One Faith.. Ephesians 4-5 One Lord One Faith One Baptism The modern Vatican Center is/was designed as a Serpent 24/7 Satan worship welcoming ushering in the AntiChrist Daniel 8:25b And by Peace he shall destroy many ~ There is no Abrahamic Covenant outside of Jesus Galatians 3:28 There is neither jew nor greek; there is neither bond nor free; there is neither male nor female in Christ For ye are all One in Christ 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the Promise
No, her children wernt perfect, but whose are? She instilled a love of history in them, and tried to give them the level of faith she had. She didn't cry publicly about Joe's infidelity, because those were private matters. I admire her for her strength, poise, and self discipline. God knows the tragedies she faced, and she carried them with Grace and dignity. I pray she is with her lost loved ones in eternity.
@kerryprzytula7 who are you to give that type of advice to any woman ? We are not a monolith, NO Relationship is perfect.NO human being is perfect. You don't pack up and run at every trouble. You're a Pig for disrespecting thus woman and her family. I'd bet you don't even have family , no one would even give a darn about you and yours. You fckn 🤡 .
Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy was a fantastic person,wife,mother. I feel fortunate to learn more about her life. She was an inspiration to me with her selfless acts throughout her long life..
Her faith was rock solid. I’ve always admired her for that no matter what she came up against she always stayed fast in her face and her God. As a Catholic now I can relate to 100%.
I'm so obsessed with this documentary I've been watching it for months... I love JFK and American history and this is one of my absolute favorite documented videos of American History I could ever have watched... Rose Kennedy has such a beautiful voice and loved her voice so much it is so beautiful but so tragic that her son Jack (JFK) died. Do you like there's so many tragedies with her sons and family and she still carry going with faith within God.. this is my favorite video on RUclips probably... God bless JFK and Rose Kennedy and JFK Jr and RFK and all the Kennedy for their intentions to save America... :(
She took no shxx and gave no one any shxx...she set the bar high for her family as well, no weakness or half assxing, death, assassinations, curses, whatever, didn't stop her or make her waiver in her faith and beliefs....a remarkable little lady...! She knew where they came from, and there was no going back to shanty Irishness..."
Her quote “Motherhood is the greatest role a woman can have.” This should be the quote of the year!!! Yay, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy! ❤ My beloved Mother always taught me this. Our world has seemed to have forgotten this in the last 60 years or so! 😢
Because it's simply not an objective fact, Deborah. Watching other people with children is my personal hell. There is literally nothing that would be less of a gift to many women.

Mother? Child!! No greater love.? Or loss? This woman was, beyond, not allowing to be!! Just having to protray?? The saddest most heartbreaking, knowing?? Cannot even express her loss?? In this world? Kennedys are history, history must always, be never forgotten. This woman represents real love, of our family....
Poor Mrs Kennedy what an amazingly strong and courageous woman to have lost four of her adult children all I can say what an incredible courageous and truly unique personality I take my hat of to her 😢❤😢 Australia 😢❤😢
She gave the Kennedy clan a humility and empathy for other's struggles. The good they did with the power Joseph crafted was because of Rose's teachings.
It was actually the father "they looked to for strength and encouragement." Just before take-off on Joseph Kennedy, jrs last flight he said "if I do not make it, tell my father I love him very much." Revealing.
Joe Sr. was the dominant force in that particular family, no doubt about it. Control freak of the 20th century. But he was the one who really made them what we know of them. The influence of the more recessive parent in any family is always hard to determine although it is certainly there too.
@@ThatsTheSpiritGodCast Tradition and strength run deep in the Irish culture.. escaping famine in the 1840's to go to the new world.. your family don't let you forget these things.. I'm sure she called herself a proud American of Irish descent.. 😊👍🇮🇪🇺🇸
Rose graduated high school at age fifteen, accompanied her dad Honey Fitz on campaigns, was accepted into Wellesley but was made to go to a Catholic school by her mother, and endured deaths of four of her children, one institutionalized without her knowledge, and adultery by her husband the entire marriage. She naturally birthed nine babies and lived to one hundred four years old. God Almighty what a lady!😮 🙏
She did endure all those things but, she was self indulgent, cruel, cared more about her image, than her reality. She didn't take care of her own kids. She was horrible to her help. Out of the public eye, she was ruthless. She hid behind her religion. She was horrible to her daughters in laws. She was very jealous of Jackie. If she paid attention to Rosemary, then she wouldn't have ended up with a lobotomy. After Joe had his stroke, she got revenge on him.. For that I don't blame her.
@@edp3202 She was present. She was respected but feared. Reality was different than, what is for show, for the cameras. I'm 64, grew up in Massachusetts. Between what I saw, ( she was covered a lot, obviously, a long with the rest)and read, from many sources, she was just someone, I had no respect for. I found her very mean, entitled and phony.. She never got over the fact, that Joe messed up when he was the Ambassador for England and he screwed up his chances for becoming president and she could never be 1st lady. She left her kids for months on end, to go shopping in Europe for new wardrobes. She was beside herself when they had to come back to the US, with their heads down.The Kennedy's were a well produced family.. Not saying, I didn't like the rest, or their place in history. I am a huge Kennedy buff. Just not a Rose Kennedy fan... # 1 Kennedy rule...Kennedy's DON'T Cry!
@@labadoor2607 wow. She was called Iron Rose. Lived to 104 years. But maybe because she farmed out the work to everyone else to raise the children and to everything. It must have sucked to be cheated on all the time.
@@edp3202 She knew he was going to cheat on her before they were married. She agreed to it. It was a bit of a transactional marriage. ( even with that knowledge it had to suck). It was acceptable behavior. ( openly). But even if she wanted to leave, her religion wouldn't allow it. She went to church everyday. She was a devout catholic. Joe's behavior was passed on to JFK, Robert and Ted. All their wives, were sat down prior to marriage and told, that their husbands were not going to be faithful. JFK, had every venereal disease going. Jackie had, had enough, was seriously going to divorce him. She was tired of him embarrassing her. Joe had a one on one with her, basically told her, her life would be a living hell, threw the kids in her face, then gave her a settlement. Eunice, Robert's wife, was to religious and looked the other way. She had her sites on being 1st lady as well. ( before JFK's death, she thought she and Robert, would occupy the WH, after JFK's 8 years). The of course Joan divorced Ted. She was called Iron Rose, because it was her way or the high way, she had the power and entitlement, learning it from her father. She cared more about being skinny than anything. She talked about her figure. She talked shamefully to her daughters in laws about getting their shape back right after giving birth. She gave Jackie a hard time about getting her shape back and getting out to publicly support JFK and that she had to look good. after she had lost her baby. She bragged that it only took her a couple of weeks, to regain her shape after all her deliveries. She was more ruthless than anything..
I can't get pass her not paying enough attention to her daughter Rosemary, that's a sad story. However I think she was a strong woman who endured a lot.
As a granddaughter of a Irish immigrant in the United States I must say that the Irish immigrants in this country are very very tough people
Greetings from Ireland, how right you are.
God love them - they had a facade of toughness because they had to survive and work, work. Thank God there was work for them to do. God bless USA for opportunities. Yes, the Irish paid their dues. Just look at how much good the Kennedy family did and how much they endured. Blessings and Slainte.
My ancestors came to Africa and she was a family member of the Kennedy.
I too have Irish ancestors. They had to be. They had nothing in terms of wealth, a tertiary education or assets to return to. America was expected to provide that.
And no one else is tough? Does that silly generalization apply to other races?
Her grammer, and articulation, are perfection. It's a pleasure listening to her speak.
Her voice sounds like an animated child's voice, like you'd hear on a cartoon. She was a devoted mother central to her children's upbringing. Her strong faith got her through. Her subservience though is somewhat baffling, the stance her husband could did no wrong. Denial. Isn't it human nature to challenge things? It's like she went along with whatever happened.

Of all the Kennedys, I admire Rose most because she was the backbone of the Kennedys. Having lost so many of her children, she still found time to handle these tragedies with such grace and kindness.

Because Joseph is in spirit prison!!

@@char7945Rose was the epitome of a staunch, devout Catholic. It was a different time back then. However, I cannot imagine refusing to attend my daughter's funeral. I believe the way in which Rose comforted herself is by declaring that Kathleen had died "in a state of grace." Even Eunice was telling some white lies in this interview. I was surprised when she said she quizzed her mother about her autobiography and the fact that Rose didn't mention one disagreement or argument throughout the book. When the interviewer asked Rose about it, Rose firmly denied ever having any arguments or disagreements with her husband. That is probably how she survived all the tragedies. Denial.
One of the most interesting and fascinating Kennedy family interviews I have ever come across. But yes, sad, too. It must have been overwhelming the things that Rose had to endure. It is obvious how much her faith influenced not only her life but the whole family's.
Hey there! I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hearing back from you!😊
faith is what gets us threw alot. with out that we are nothing. she was a great lady.
AMAZING INTERVIEW! God Bless and Keep Her Soul. We can all take away hope, inspiration and wisdom from this program. In many ways, in spite of their wealth and power--they experienced the same joys, sorrows, successes and failures that any given family might have. Her FAITH made the difference!
My grandfather was a John Fitzgerald from County wexford, mum always told us that grandad was a relative of Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, one of my older brothers have been investigating,,it would be lovely if it turns out to be true, my parents are both in their spiritual home now, God bless them ❤
I was born in New York but raised in galway. Moved back to the US when I was 18 ( a penniless immigrant of sorts) and went on to spend 8 years in the Marine Corps getting my higher education fully paid for. You have to admire the Kennedy family and everything they achieved in the U.S. Great documentary as always CR
Hope life is going well for you 🇮🇪🇺🇲
Ireland will always have a strong bond with america even today with the last presidant and
all his faults and now an old man
I salute you Oisin. Blessings galore to you and thank you for your military service. You say you were a penniless immigrant - well, if I may say - you had so much to bring to the table because my experience with the Irish immigrant is they are honorable people with integrity and compassion and a deep sense of equality for all and a need to serve humanity. So many attributes that money can never buy. May the road rise to meet you. My brother, an immigrant, served in Korea. Sadly, he passed in his 50's. Beautiful soul and so handsome. Slainte.
The Roman Catholic Church is trying to erase history with Jesuits and Rosemary was not retarded and you are not supposed to lobotomize and sterilize women for not obeying church rules.
Amazingly strong woman, mother, and role model. She never fell apart despite enormous heartbreak over and over.
Thank you Rose for what you have accomplished for this entire World may God Bless 🙏
What a beautiful lady. She made me want to give her a big old hug. You can see the tremendous amount of grief she tried to bear up under.❤️
She wasn't known for hugs for her own children never mind strangers. lol
Thank you for posting. She's someone you actually don't hear as much about when it comes to the Kennedys.
I spent my honeymoon in a cottage on the compound in 1973. It’s a lovely place however I think people would be surprised how many other homes are around it. There aren’t any tall fences or anything to suggest what lie up the driveway. Everyone was respectful of privacy. I never realized, back then, what a historic place it was. I was fortunate to begin my marriage in such a beautiful place.
She was the perfect example of the grand mothers of that time.
Feel for Rose. The devastation/pain she went through losing each her son died in tragedy. What A strong lady was still able to live over a century. RIP 🙏🙏
Don't forget her daughters lost in tragedy
She lost her husband and several children and grand children before she died. She definitely carried the cross for her family!! Just as Queen Elizabeth did too who's CASTle was ruined by her 2 of 3 sons! and her husband who had many affairs just like JOSEPH did too and Jack and Teddy who killed MARY JO
Totally. 🙏
@@susanhall7199 l⁹⁹⁹
Her strong faith in the Lord
Carried her through Life . Always keep going on .
She's like Doris Day SINging 'whatever will be will be'.... she did nothing to stop the evil in her own CASTle...
It was delusion, but a useful one.

A beautiful and caring woman. She was amazingly strong and classy. Such tragedy she had to endure.
They called her Queen Mother
Try reading some real history...she wasn't a real sweetheart
@@richardmurphy9064 If you aren't related or part of the family, STFU.
Mrs Kennedy did the best she could. You have to remember the times. She was much more involved with her children then other mothers of her era.
I believe that Rose Kennedy was a devout Roman Catholic and her faith sustained and bolstered her. She bore the loss of FOUR of her nine children. It's the most ghastly and horrendous loss a mother can bear. I don't know how she was strong enough to withstand such losses. 😞
Rose held it altogether and deserves far more credit than she has been given, as men were given so much validity in those days. But she wasn't treated well, taken very much for granted.
Thank Goodness things have changed somewhat and we can see things for what they are now . . .
Yeah.
Grow up to be strong , hardworking and honest men.. well, I guess not honest to their wives 😢 Christian ideals out the window for some of her children.
Such a frail little voice, belies Rose Kennedy's indomitable faith and strength.
She sounds like a little munchkin
She was elderly lady then
Rose was a good woman she had many heartaches in this life may she Rest In Peace.
AMEN to that!
If she was such a good woman how come she didn't go see rosemary after the lobotomy that went wrong

Courageous lady - spiritual. Going to church was very important in Irish families. They got strength from their faith. Recall how my mom/dad had all of us say rosary every night. Mom prayed for everyone. Blessings.

@@regenahregenah6510 God bless you too. Gathering together like this as children had so many benefits then and now. It also helped children to calm down before bed and filled our minds with positive words.

Gathering the family is a lost art. I remember my mother always said ….we will all be together at dinner. Unfortunately, so many families are so involved in sports, etc. and that lost time with family is troubling.
What a gracious woman. She raised her children and grandchildren to be true American patriots. Well done, Rose, well Done. Rest In Peace and the same to JFK. He was a beautiful man and the great hope for us taken away waaaaaaay too soon.

😢😢
They're all gone now but the sun still rises and sets over their old compound and the waves still lap against their old beach. We're all just passing through this life.
So true! ❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺
What a refreshing interview with Rose Kennedy. She had straightforward Christian values - I believe these were reflected in JFK'S policies throughout his tenure - It's such a shame that the hate of his enemies brought him down and has brought the country to such a miserable low point
How very sad. What a beautifully strong woman of great faith she was. God rest her ❤ good soul in eternal peace. Amen 🙏
Having lived on the Cape we've seen Mrs. Kennedy many times and she always looked like she stepped out of a fashion magazine.
How do people acquire nice wardrobes and put things together? I want to look nice, but there’s a gene missing. Serious question. :- )
Incredibly lucky and blessed if you really had that experience to see her. What a gem to the world she was
as well as JFK, RFK, Eunice, and all their Kennedy heart
@@genxx2724Go to a stylist, read fashion magazines and/or Colour me beautiful
What a pleasure to have had a chance to get to know her. A very,very special women.
Truly truly, the Kennedy’s are cursed, as my father used to say. ( we are Kennedy’s)
My father met Jack kennedy at a dinner when Joe senior was stationed in London- my father and JFK sat next to each other and were astounded to find that these two young men were not only born in the same year, but in the same month and the same day of the month. ( 29 May, 1917)
We too had a large family, but had tragedy after tragedy with my brother Liam first to go, at 20, drowned on a fishing trip in a massive gale. My mother the next year, at 44, cancer, and on and on it went. We are now decimated. Rose is so strong and inspiring, we didn’t have anyone like that to pull us through.
😔
Ahhh it must be very hard for you. I feel your pain as you wrote. I’m 74,a Candian grain farmers wife and my family is also struggling with cancer, hip replacements and mother is 98. We lost our father over 30 years ago. We also are a Christian family and most have put their trust and life in Gods hands. Not all is easy,and I live far from them all. I’ve sometimes thought of Rosemary because I have a daughter with a disability and I think Bonnie’s life could have been even worse, had she had Rosemarys treatment. I just wanted to encourage you this evening. I think there are blessings not to be wealthy or famous. There is an old Irish saying about wishing the wind would always blow at your back,,,,,sorry forgot the rest,,,,but I do wish you well. Your family branch matters too and I hope you’ve written your memories down.

Much has been written about the Kennedy family. Some true some total nonsense, However, Rose Kennedy is a remarkable Lady. She faced so much tragedy in her life. Yet, she remained strong and kept her faith.
A great strong woman, of a calibre the Kennedy haters will never have the capacity to understand.

Rose lost two children during the war and nearly John Kennedy on his PT 19 boat among other tragedies. Tough strong woman
Uhhhhhhhh when she lost her daughter Kit, she said it was an act of God because she married or wanted to marry a divorced man. She was flying to their home with the guy to introduce him to Joe, who was goi g to give his blessing. Rose was out of her mind over it and thought it was preferable that Kit DIE as opposed to her marrying this guy and “ruining the family name” or “offending god”. Jesus Christ lady
@@julianakleijn9254 She was called Kick who died in 1948. She was on her way in a plane to meet her father but crashed over the Alps to discuss her situation. Not called Kit. Their oldest daughter, Rosemary was lobotomized in 1941.. Joe, Jr died in 1944 over the English channel in a plane. JFK 1963. and Bobby in 1968. Almost lost Ted in 1964 in a plane crash. Mr Kennedy was the only family member at Kick's funeral and broken hearted.
@@SueProv Ted almost drowned at Chappaquidick one summer night in 1969. 😟😟😟
@@julianakleijn9254 that is not true! She was devastated that she lost her daughter
@@julianakleijn9254
Her Daughter married the Duke of Devonshire ! Which should have pleased Rose being a Prolific social climber . Disowned her daughter for not marrying Catholic , but religiously accepted her husband's constant philandering.
Refused to attend her funeral.
What a strong woman. 105 and never wavered. the who family were not perfect and strong and great family. A vast difference than we have today. He would never steal things from the White House.
An exceptional woman. My mother used to say my life would have been easier if I believed in God. She was right.
Regrettably you are largely correct here. The disowning of Patricia over her marrying outside the church was cruel and bigoted. The whole family went along with that. The medical meddling that destroyed the life of Rosemary was awful, but also the norm for the time. Overall, the family of Rose and Joseph was the quintessential hard-hearted emotionally destitute rich family.
Ooops, I meant Kathleen, not Patricia.
@@MalEvansUSA not true
@@MalEvansUSA I read she visited when they found Rosemary, and poor ruined Rosemary pummeled her, thinking her mother had abandoned her.
@@brianarbenz1329 Patricia married British actor.
Highly recommend her autobiography, "Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy: Times to Remember". She was a remarkable woman. Still much we can learn from her.
Not!
Rip to Rosemary..
I’ve always wondered what she told her daughters about philandering husbands
Rose, what a gem. The fact she didn't expose her husbands' many transgressions speaks to her class.
First rule of being an New England Irish Catholic is not talking about things.
I agree. It was a different time than today.
@@ClipperMaidOfTheSeas partly bullshit.
It was a different world then. I think men were expected to have mistresses.
Yes. She spoke of the family’s dinner conversations. I wondered how many times her husband was home for dinner. I’d have had knots in my stomach with a table full of kids and my husband out drinking and spending the evening in the arms of another woman. I’d doubt I’d have the strength to guide polite discourse of history, politics, and everyone’s developing views. I’m imagining chaos.
She has lived wealthy life since birth, it makes your life much easier and comfortable
@baibamennika4480 absolutely! All of these comments about how strong Rose was. She could never have survived a day walking in my shoes or living my life. She’d have been a wilted Rose.
She's very articulate.
Your Bob Dylan picture!
We used to drop into church any time because the door was never locked... Not like that now.
I remember that
Sad.
God Sees All.☘🇮🇪
I would be hard pressed to think of a modern day mother under 40 ( non celebrity or political) who could conduct themselves with such strength and dignity while caring for such a large family and endure such tragedy.
I very much agree.
Money helped a lot
I would be hard pressed to find a man not talking trash about women constantly. You don't make ot any easier.
I feel she could have run for office AND won. At 15 she was in politics really. I do so admire her love of history also.
Same thought here. What would that have wrought, having the daughter of Boston's mayor pursue a full political career, like any son would have? She would have risen right to the top and taken everybody with her.
Her strength came with her strong unwavering faith !
I love and support St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC because it is Irish and it brings back beautiful memories of my Irish-English Catholic high school which I attended in Montreal, Quebec in the 1970s.
Good for you.You wrote your comment in a very moving and stylish way.

Rose died in 1995, age 104 years old.
I was and am a very strong woman to model footprints that I've wanted my children to achieve in education just as I have from my mother.
No, her children wernt perfect, but whose are? She instilled a love of history in them, and tried to give them the level of faith she had. She didn't cry publicly about Joe's infidelity, because those were private matters. I admire her for her strength, poise, and self discipline. God knows the tragedies she faced, and she carried them with Grace and dignity. I pray she is with her lost loved ones in eternity.
Was she really strong when it came to her husband??? All the cheating... really,?? Very weak, felt so little of herself. Strong leave the pig.
@kerryprzytula7 who are you to give that type of advice to any woman ? We are not a monolith, NO Relationship is perfect.NO human being is perfect. You don't pack up and run at every trouble. You're a Pig for disrespecting thus woman and her family. I'd bet you don't even have family , no one would even give a darn about you and yours. You fckn 🤡 .
Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy was a fantastic person,wife,mother. I feel fortunate to learn more about her life. She was an inspiration to me with her selfless acts throughout her long life..
Her faith was rock solid. I’ve always admired her for that no matter what she came up against she always stayed fast in her face and her God. As a Catholic now I can relate to 100%.
I'm so obsessed with this documentary I've been watching it for months... I love JFK and American history and this is one of my absolute favorite documented videos of American History I could ever have watched... Rose Kennedy has such a beautiful voice and loved her voice so much it is so beautiful but so tragic that her son Jack (JFK) died. Do you like there's so many tragedies with her sons and family and she still carry going with faith within God.. this is my favorite video on RUclips probably...
God bless JFK and Rose Kennedy and JFK Jr and RFK and all the Kennedy for their intentions to save America... :(
Amazing stuff. Thank you so much - 👍👏👏👏👏
What a lovely woman. I had no idea of her beauty and grace. An example for all mothers.
Great documentary. I had no idea she had such a strong faith.
She took no shxx and gave no one any shxx...she set the bar high for her family as well, no weakness or half assxing, death, assassinations, curses, whatever, didn't stop her or make her waiver in her faith and beliefs....a remarkable little lady...! She knew where they came from, and there was no going back to shanty Irishness..."
My ZAunt Bea ( sister to a Catholic Bishop) was a maid to Rose. Lovely kind woman.
Her quote “Motherhood is the greatest role a woman can have.”
This should be the quote of the year!!!
Yay, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy! ❤
My beloved Mother always taught me this.
Our world has seemed to have forgotten this in the last 60 years or so! 😢
Because it's simply not an objective fact, Deborah. Watching other people with children is my personal hell. There is literally nothing that would be less of a gift to many women.

Fight grief... people think you're abnormal if you don't show emotion. It makes others think you don't care.
She gave the Kennedy clan a humility and empathy for other's struggles. The good they did with the power Joseph crafted was because of Rose's teachings.
It was actually the father "they looked to for strength and encouragement." Just before take-off on Joseph Kennedy, jrs last flight he said "if I do not make it, tell my father I love him very much." Revealing.
😕🥺😭😭😭😭😭
She never hugged or told any of her children she loved them. That's why Jack was unable to give love.
@@stevemaher7481 Was this something you read.lots of parents are like that!
Joe Sr. was the dominant force in that particular family, no doubt about it. Control freak of the 20th century. But he was the one who really made them what we know of them. The influence of the more recessive parent in any family is always hard to determine although it is certainly there too.
Wowza. What a strong woman. Good bless faith

RIP ROSE KENNEDY
Rose graduated high school at age fifteen, accompanied her dad Honey Fitz on campaigns, was accepted into Wellesley but was made to go to a Catholic school by her mother, and endured deaths of four of her children, one institutionalized without her knowledge, and adultery by her husband the entire marriage. She naturally birthed nine babies and lived to one hundred four years old. God Almighty what a lady!😮 🙏
She did endure all those things but, she was self indulgent, cruel, cared more about her image, than her reality. She didn't take care of her own kids. She was horrible to her help. Out of the public eye, she was ruthless. She hid behind her religion. She was horrible to her daughters in laws. She was very jealous of Jackie. If she paid attention to Rosemary, then she wouldn't have ended up with a lobotomy. After Joe had his stroke, she got revenge on him.. For that I don't blame her.
@@labadoor2607 i thought she was an attentive grandmother.
@@edp3202 She was present. She was respected but feared. Reality was different than, what is for show, for the cameras. I'm 64, grew up in Massachusetts. Between what I saw, ( she was covered a lot, obviously, a long with the rest)and read, from many sources, she was just someone, I had no respect for. I found her very mean, entitled and phony.. She never got over the fact, that Joe messed up when he was the Ambassador for England and he screwed up his chances for becoming president and she could never be 1st lady. She left her kids for months on end, to go shopping in Europe for new wardrobes. She was beside herself when they had to come back to the US, with their heads down.The Kennedy's were a well produced family.. Not saying, I didn't like the rest, or their place in history. I am a huge Kennedy buff. Just not a Rose Kennedy fan...
# 1 Kennedy rule...Kennedy's DON'T Cry!
@@labadoor2607 wow. She was called Iron Rose. Lived to 104 years. But maybe because she farmed out the work to everyone else to raise the children and to everything. It must have sucked to be cheated on all the time.
@@edp3202 She knew he was going to cheat on her before they were married. She agreed to it. It was a bit of a transactional marriage. ( even with that knowledge it had to suck). It was acceptable behavior. ( openly). But even if she wanted to leave, her religion wouldn't allow it. She went to church everyday. She was a devout catholic. Joe's behavior was passed on to JFK, Robert and Ted. All their wives, were sat down prior to marriage and told, that their husbands were not going to be faithful. JFK, had every venereal disease going. Jackie had, had enough, was seriously going to divorce him. She was tired of him embarrassing her. Joe had a one on one with her, basically told her, her life would be a living hell, threw the kids in her face, then gave her a settlement. Eunice, Robert's wife, was to religious and looked the other way. She had her sites on being 1st lady as well. ( before JFK's death, she thought she and Robert, would occupy the WH, after JFK's 8 years). The of course Joan divorced Ted. She was called Iron Rose, because it was her way or the high way, she had the power and entitlement, learning it from her father. She cared more about being skinny than anything. She talked about her figure. She talked shamefully to her daughters in laws about getting their shape back right after giving birth. She gave Jackie a hard time about getting her shape back and getting out to publicly support JFK and that she had to look good. after she had lost her baby. She bragged that it only took her a couple of weeks, to regain her shape after all her deliveries. She was more ruthless than anything..
Rose was a very strong and faith-filled woman. Very brave and courageous.
Great..Lady..💖
God 👍💖🙏..Bless Her..💖
I can't get pass her not paying enough attention to her daughter Rosemary, that's a sad story. However I think she was a strong woman who endured a lot.
