What is Kennedy Curse? a review

Why Kennedy’s are losing a loved one every couple of years or getting involved into some sort of deadly tragic happening ? why tragedy tragedy is following the Americas First Family for about 150 years? The whole thing is happening in front of the world, it appears as if somebody have done some sort of black magic on the family.

We can’t blame people when they started believing that the continuous suffering of the America’s most prominent political families is surely a curse, and started referring it as the Kennedy Curse.

Kennedy Curse refers to several misfortunes suffered by one  prominent political family.  Presently the Kennedy Curse is a famous term that used to describe a series of tragedies involving members of the Kennedy family.

Fortunately our Ted Kennedy able to side passed the curse once and  became the first Kennedy to survive a plane crash in 1964.

The curse or what ever it is, is so venomous that it also extended to others who were related with Kennedy family by marriage, for example  Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her two step-children from her marriage to Aristotle Onassis.

At first she suffered a miscarriage in 1954, after two years l she gave birth a stillborn daughter, named Arabella. In 1963, she lost her son, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, who died two days after birth.

After several years almost a decade later, after she had re-married to Greek shipping magnate, Aristotle Onassis, the Kennedy curse started following her again, this time Kennedy Onassis’ new stepson, Alexander Onassis, died in a plane crash. In 1988, Kennedy Onassis lost another stepchild, Christina Onassis due to heart failure.
