- To mark the 60th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s death, revisit two exclusive BBC interviews with the US president's mother, Rose, who movingly details the family's intense pride and sorrow.
The profound loss Rose felt at her son John's death would be reflected by the shock and grief that would play out across the US, to the extent that a whole generation would be able to remember exactly where they were when they heard that he had been shot.
When JFK’s life was cut short so shockingly, it sparked a wave of grief and mourning that left an indelible mark on the consciousness of the nation.

#JFK #History #BBCNews
She was a very courageous and strong mother ,who had to endure heavy hearted losses seeing a number of her children dying .
She was a c**t. Look what she did to her daughter.
And her husband was no day at the beach!
🥺
Rose Kennedy despite the tragedy of her family, lived to the remarkable age of 104 and passed away in January 1995. May she rest in peace 🕊️
@@explorer7597 Everything is going to be alright, try not to "fret"
💖🇵🇸
She died on a Sunday. A very Catholic woman.
Rose got the longevity from her mother 1865-1964
It's important to note that of her 9 children, she outlived 4 of them. By 1973, she had buried all but one of her sons. This woman had tremendous strength
NOT really
One can't imagine the pain of the mother. She was an extremely strong woman, to lose so many children, but continued. She must have been grounded in her faith and belief in God. I remember the day so raw, as if it was yesterday. I was an 8 year old child in Sierra Leone, West Africa. The JFK era had touched many lives in the developing nations; with the Peace Corps., American cheese and powdered milk provided at school, etc. I was playing in the backyard of my parents home. ( My late dad worked for the government then, and had even been privileged to visit the US on a couple of occasions, representing Sierra Leone at the General Assembly). My parents were out at a function or visiting friends, when I heard the phone ring. I reached in through the window on the back veranda to pick up the call; and my late uncle (who was head of the Sierra Leone Broadcasting Service) on the other end asked for my dad. I told him he was out, and he replied that when he got back, I should tell him that President Kennedy had been shot. May his soul continue to sleep in peace.

Oh man she is struggling so hard here. Generations after me even will feel this. Oh man! Horrible!
Without her strong faith, I think her grief would have destroyed her.
Rest in peace Mister President
She endured more tragedy than most, having lost three sons so tragically.
And a daughter, Kathleen.
Her strength is admirable. From her husband's infidelity to losing her children, she continued to stand firm.
She had great faith
Her husband was unfaithful to her. Her sons were all unfaithful to their wives. Tragic family she bore a great deal of sorrow.
@@lindabrown6110 except for Bobby. He was faithful to his wife Ethel.
@@irawilliams343you’re kidding, right?
@@youknowmysteelo no, I'm not. Bobby was the only Kennedy brother who never smoked, drank alcohol and cheated on his wife. He was even Rose's favorite.
She is with her boys…..her family……..what an example of dignity and strength……my god she was truly a worthy example of a woman…..a mother ❤ rip Mrs. Rose Kennedy…..
It's an unspeakable life. She was human with positives and negatives...I don't know if I could have managed to get out of bed after one loss let alone so many.
I lost a son to cancer sixteen years ago. It's definitely the most difficult thing that I have ever dealt with. He was just 29 years old. What kept me going was that I was a mother to a younger son. He needed to see a mom who valued him and was able to keep moving forward. You never get over losing your child but you learn to live in a different way.
+SueProv. She was a tough-as-nails lady. And she lived to be 104.
@catherinemacaskill1421 God bless you Catherine. I have a friend who lost an athletic vibrant son suddenly to an enlarged heart. It was 8 or 9 years ago. He was 25. Never the same but walks foward.
Respect for strong woman
Such a wonderful admirable woman.
Rose Kennedy was an amazing & strong woman who lived for more than a Century
Indeed..absolutely unbreakable faith. Though they didn't tell Rose of Jackie dying, it was too much at that age..
😢😢😢❤my heart broken for her as a mother
What a gracious lady Rose Kennedy was.
Such a sad ending
Such a beautiful soul
I remember what I was doing that day, for the rest of my life when I heard the news of President Kennedy's death 🕯️
So do I. I live in Europe and I was just going to sorting out my homework for high school in the evening after dinner. I sat at the table and glanced at the tv when the news came through. It was devastating and we all cried.
You are both lucky to have lived through a time of great belief in the country and forward thinking towards prosperity and peace. I was still decades away from birth yet, I feel through pictures and seeing President Kennedy speaking, just how amazing he truly was. Too many ppl sometimes concentrate on his personal life and irrelevant to us...his womanizing. Yet if they only knew LBJ had more than President Kennedy could wish for in a whole lifetime. Yes, there is evidence and an illegitimate son as proof too. Lbj had unfortunate for JFK, taken on the VP position under bribery, and Jack didn't want to humiliate Jackie publicly, and so took on the man who from the start had been planning the ultimate "step up" with JFK's enemies.. the ones who wanted wars not peace. JFK is a President which we shall not ever see the likes of again.
*_I'm watching JFK's mother speak for the first time. I truly felt the woman's pain deep in my heart, from miles away. It's really not easy at all. It is a very painful experience for a mother to see her son, of whom she was proud of his achievements, die in this way. Imagine, your son became the president of the USA. He is young and happily married. However, in front of the eyes of the whole world, he is brutally murdered as a result of an unknown assassination attempt. Moreover, the real perpetrators can never be identified, tried and punished. There's really no explanation for this. This scandal is happening in one of the most modern countries in the world._*
The assassination of JFK was the disgrace of the United States of America.😢
I will never understand the reason.
RIP to Mr Kennedy
What a curse to live to 105 and see your kids murdered and die before you.
People who live the longest are the ones who can take the loss of their loved ones.
A woman told me that her mother died at 60 from heart attack because she was unable to deal with the death of her 62 years old father from kidney cancer just 2 months later.
R.I.P. JFK 🙏🏽🕯️
The Kennedys through generations have had a black cloud hovering over them. May they all be resting in peace 🌹
Lady of constant sorrow. God bless her
That was difficult to watch. It's sad.
Rip Kennedy
To focus on the loss of Jack does a disservice to Rose. She lost three of her sons. She lost Joseph in '44 during WW2, Jack in '63, and then Bobby in '68.
And her eldest daughter Kathleen in the 1940s
@@margaretlindsey2234She didn’t care for her though afterwards because Kick married a English Protestant, didn’t even attend her funeral, no one did except for her older brother Joe (I could be wrong, as I don’t remember if she died before or after Joe Jr?) She also didn’t care about Rosemary, even when she found out that her husband ordered a lobotomy on their own daughter, they hid her away, and never told the other kids what had happened to their sister.
@@maria-melek Yes it was brother Joe who attended her wedding. Her parents neither attended her wedding or her funeral. That's not faith, that's some kind of cruel notion to live by, that would cause them to behave that way to their flesh and blood.
@@margaretlindsey2234 Agreed.
@@wintercame her father attended her funeral. In fact she had boarded the ill-fated plane trip to see her father in hopes she could win his consent for her second marriage. Also I don’t think Rose’s refusal to attend was from lack of care. Reportedly she saw Kathleen’s death as God punishing her effectively abandoning her faith by dating a married Protestant who was seeking a divorce in order to marry her. She was hurt but I think her faith both validated her anger at Kathleen and her pain over her death
I was born in 68, but I'm totally fascinated with Kennedy assassination and titanic tragedy 😮
“The Men Who Killed Kennedy” on UA-cam is by far the best documentary. Filled with original interviews
"The Men Who Killed Kennedy" is one of dozens of con jobs selling a conspiratorial bill of goods to the weak-minded.
i understand im sorry it happened a,loss does hurt but in time we learn to deal withgbe grief life does go on
I admire this lady 💐
Peace to you Sister!!
I can’t imagine losing 4 children and not losing my mind and I’m not even a mother.
Even after going through everything that she did, she still lived to be 104 years old
The thing is that Jackie Kennedy would had killed herself if she didn't have children.
As she turned into alcohol and pills after JFK was shot.
Her friends were glad that she died before JFK Jr., as she couldn't had bear more pain
Rose and Teddy were very close, they had real similarities, for instance in their strong faith, in their need to always see the bright side of the life, no matter what, they had to endure the loss of Joe Jr who was Teddy godfather, Jack and Bobby, and yet they could always have a laugh and sing songs with the family, while Rose played the piano, their faith seemed to be a key element.
It is clear that he was a good person, so people are hurting for his death until now
The best Democrat President ever!! Now the Democrats have gone to pot after Kennedy!! Look who's president now unbelievable!!!
My mother was a mother of nine rose Kennedy she's behind a shield there family suffered big time
May all the Kennedys rest in peace 😢❤😢 Australia
Air Force One tapes on Nov 22 1963 reveal a telephone call the new President made to JFK's mother. The connection was bad with loud static and buzzing sounds. Mrs Rose Kennedy kept saying 'Hello Hello'. Once LBJ got connected and uttered 'Hello Mrs. Kennedy', that amazing courageous old woman replied 'Yes? Yes Mr. President?' ~ I was so moved with tears by her response
Terribly sad but wow she has strong faith
Absolutely such a lovely mother Rose Kennedy🌹❤
Truly hits home when she spoke of 'Jack' being here, rather than ever being a President...heartbreaking. She made sure her children grew up healthy as could be, well mannered, educated and truly honorable young ppl. Sad that fate took it away. And for President Kennedy's situation, a murder from the highest element of powers that be in America and Europe too. Rose was not lying when she said JFK would do the most honorable and truest mind for all ppl in life. Nevermind his personal life due to medical etc. JFK was a good true man. And today, I'm saying what a shame he didn't crush and scatter some secret societies, "to the wind" as it's a pivotal time in history when the power of a not so secret cia had completely transfered and cemented their place in Government, where they absolutely have no place. Rest Easy Kennedy family..❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
😮another hurt mum😢
Remarkable woman: I have always admired her faith in God and the strength it gave her.
Rose Kennedy KICKED ASS!!! ☘️☘️☘️☘️
Greetings 🫖☕ good evening 🌃🙏🙋🏻♀️ I never knew his mother was named Rose
I don't think women like this exist anymore.
Rest In Peace John F Kennedy he really shouldn't died like that he was a great man and he was a amazing leader he didn't deserve to leave the world like that
How do you manage to look so young? PRIVILEGE !
Envy doesn’t wear well.
@@priestessthea Nor jealousy, richard doesn't seem to understand that jealousy, anger, hatred, envy ect. ect. ARE all horrible, wasted human emotions.....it's a mental weakness ! richard proudly displays his ignorance too the whole world. Very best wishes and happy holidays to you and yours.
I love and admire the strong faith she had for/in Our Father God 🙏
Living until the age of 105, burying her children with one of the them having his brain blown off in-front of the nation was definitely a hard thing bear.
Being married to Joe Kennedy must have been traumatic enough.
Ure way of seeing things will change
Yes in a way John F Kennedy still lives
Rose Kennedy died in 1995.
God Bless Mrs Rose Kennedy for Her Strong Spirit and Her Love for God. Mrs.Kennedy never wanted Pity Or to Dwell but it's obvious She Suffered Tremendous amounts of Pain.
I Truly Loved and Admired Her Strength.
God Bless
Mrs.Rose Kennedy
R.I.P. 🙏🌹
"The mother of USA"
How did she cope with all the tragic events in her life… some woman for one woman!!!
WATCHING FROM BRAZIL 🇧🇷
yes they didnt expect a local buisness man to be nearby with a camera thankfully he was and people can see with there own eyes the evidence compared to being told what happened by the government
most people didn't see the Zapruder film until 1966 or later; three years after the assassination. They may have seen outtake stills in Time Magazine. But it wasn't live time video of the murder such as you know it today.
yes censorship this is why we need a free and open press that isnt afraid to publish information that the government dont like @@deepseadirt1
Rose Kennedy became an icon of American motherhood, even though by all serious accounts she was a terrible mother!
A terrible mother ? Her husband was in charge of everything and what he wanted was the end of story
@@highlyfavored2434Exactly, Rose was a great human. Joseph caused the problems & she had no say!
@@craigl0902 he was a ruthless powerful man and father. After his beloved eldest son passed away , he single handedly orchestrated JFK's succession to the white house starting with his seat in Massachusetts.
@@craigl0902 plus he was a massive womanizer too. Rose was a very strong woman.
She wasn't a terrible mother, but she had flaws. She favored Joseph Kennedy Jr. She liked to take trips to Europe, to buy designers clothes. One time when she was leaving Jack who I think was 6 or 7, said "Gee, you are a great mother, to go off and leave your children alone". She was also close Bobby. Joe Sr. was more forgiving towards his children, thought the were all great. Rose expected more from them, Jack was sloppy and more rebellious than his older brother, Kathleen was more like Jack, they were very close, and Rose had a hard time when Kathleen (Kick) married a british protestant, even though he was heir to on of the greatest estates in Britain.
Rip JFK and the rest of his family
So sorry for your losses of your children who was killed by the murderers. Your two sons, and loss of Congress Ted Kennedy who died of cancer in his own life.
Her daughter Kathleen killed in a plane and the the daughter that was put away and never seen again after the lobotomy!
Here come the crypto spambots! But what's wiyh the religion spambots?
She doesn't sound Irish
Because she wasn’t. She was American, born and raised in Boston. Irish descent is not Irish.
Rose Kennedy exemplified unwavering, unfailing faith in her Savior, the Lord, Jesus Christ. So many talk the talk, but Rose Kennedy walked in faith and never faltered. That’s pretty remarkable, considering all the pain and loss she endured on this earth. 🙏
Eyelashes
she lived another 35 years!
Maybe a wiser mother would have steered her children away from politics!
Well it wasn’t really her decision... Joe Kennedy Sr was the one that sent them on that path.

Her grief was every disgusting male in the family. Their treatment of all women was atrocious....
Was
Whenever I hear Donald Trump is having a bad day, a little smile comes across my face.
not surprising coming from a terrorist supporter
??????????????????????????????????????????????????
@@markroberts5183 NPC?????????????????????????
just remember that the Kennedys supported Israel over the barbaric terrorists in the Middle East. That support was why Sirhan Sirhan assassinated Robert Kennedy
When are they going to announce it? The truth. It's the Apocalypse the truth needs to come out so everyone can heal.
They’ll conveniently discover and release new evidence once everyone involved has died of old age. Then no one will be held accountable
Her grief is so obvious. She did what she had to do through her religious convictions. She was brought up in politics, so she was perfect to marry Joe Kennedy. Kennedy did what he wanted to do and kept things from her. He ran a tight ship and was ruthless. Rose prayed and prayed yet could not undo damage . Rest in peace dear lady .
The Bible says we have all sinned. I know I have, haven’t you?
God “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4)
Peter said, the Lord is “not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9)
God gave us free will.
The Good news
How can I go up to heaven and have everlasting life ?
“Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ that he died and rose again and you will be saved”
God bless you all in Jesus name.
1 John 3:5 - And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin

Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🏴🇮🇪💚🍀💚☘️
Yes, President Kennedy gave the finest inaugural address. The speech was inspirational, forward-looking, and strong. Truly, the torch was passed to a new generation.
Sad that we haven't had a real president in these Intervening decades. Today we have only politicians, not leaders.
She was no stronger than many women who buried children. My sis-in-law buried all three of her children. My dads first cousin buried three of her children. Rose didn’t raise her children, her nanny/ governess did.
quantum infformation is never lost !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so god/the universe will always know what happen in the universe evne though we civlins dont!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BBC news on isreal
she knew it was LBJ who had jack killed. 😮
Why? He would have run for office and won in 68,
What was the reason for RFK assassination. Was LBJ responsible for that also.
It was the mob both times.
Vote for tragedies and a disgrace for America
Anyone with 1 brain cell or more, knows an *exit wound* when they see it!

The hype around Amazon's AMK33X is reaching fever pitch, and I'm here wondering if we're witnessing the buildup to a seismic shift in consumer technology.
❤❤❤Vote for peace love truth hope justice mr. Rfk jr.024 us presidential election ❤
After seeing Amazon's AMK33X in action, I'm convinced we're living in the future already.
I’m oel🎉s

And Joseph junior
What impressed me most is Amazons AMK33X brings all of humanity more forward than what we had in 40 years
sad about all manipolation
"she would rather pray the rosary than read a book" Jackie O on Rose
Every tech head on my feed is either praising or questioning Amazon's AMK33X. What's your stance?
Rest in Peace JFK soar in the skies. 🕊🕊🕊
bbc sad that something similar not being done these days
Amazon's AMK33X isn't just another project; it's like watching a symphony of technology and innovation coming together in perfect harmony.
This country might only be saved if AMK33X provides the knowledge and power most of us still lack, hence my post
✌️
I'm all for innovation, but is Amazon's AMK33X really the breakthrough they're making it out to be?
