HYNASSIS PORT, MASSACHUSETTS: Robert F Kennedy's widow Ethel's health has seen a rapid decline and the nonagenarian may not have a lot of time left.

The 95-year-old has reportedly been struggling to breathe and needs a full-time care now, RadarOnline.com reported.

Not only that, but she’s also very concerned about her family issues and the feud among her children.

Ethel Kennedy worries about her son Robert F Kennedy Jr

As per a source, Ethel “struggles to breathe and requires an oxygen tank to do so.”

“There are days when she can't even get out of bed and, if she does, Ethel uses a walker or wheelchair,” they shared.

Insiders reportedly claimed that past tragedies, including the 1968 assassination of Robert, the death of their two sons from different reasons, and the deaths of two granddaughters over the years, have weakened Ethel.

A tipster spilled, “Her family troubles are finally catching up with her. She is extremely weak and frequently delusional.”

The insider continued that Ethel is also worried about her and Robert’s son, Robert F Kennedy Jr, who is running for the White House chair and is infamous for apparently spreading controversial theories and statements.



 

Even his sisters and brother are against him and feud is troubling to their aging mother, who wants peace in the family.

Kathleen, Kerry, Rory, and Joseph, siblings of the 69-year-old, reportedly said in a joint statement, “Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment.”



 

They added, “We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country,” attracting mixed reactions from people online.

A user tweeted, “Thank you for having the integrity to speak out against RFJjr 3rd party candidacy, no matter what detractors say. Anti-vaccine, anti-Ukraine candidate cannot win, and he is dishonest about these things in his speeches.”



 

“There's always that one person in each family. Just ignore him. We all do. Thank you for speaking out,” the second user shared.



 



 

The third one, however, added, “Sad to denounce him for standing up against all of the evils the Democratic Party have let slide for years.”

Ethel Kennedy ‘doesn't have the strength' to hold family together anymore

Amid all this chaos, Ethel is believed to be 'consulting' her late husband for the right path in prayers.

But the source asserted, “Ethel has been the glue that held the family together for so long. But she just doesn't have the strength to do it anymore.”
