Katherine Schwarzenegger praises 'strong family' after funeral of Saoirse Kennedy Hill - Yahoo Entertainment

Katherine Schwarzenegger is expressing gratitude for those closest to her, following the death of her family member Saoirse Kennedy Hill

The funeral for the 22-year-old granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy was held Monday. Schwarzenegger, 29, is the granddaughter of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, sibling of Robert F. Kennedy.

Schwarzenegger, an author who wed actor Chris Pratt in June, acknowledged her family in a touching Instagram post shared Tuesday night.

"After wiping away the tears, after the beautiful sunsets, there is always a new day," she captioned the post with a geo-tag in Hyannis Port, where the Kennedy compound is located. "It’s not the big events or pretty things that hold you up at the end of the day, it’s family.

"I feel so incredibly blessed to be part of such a loving, supportive and strong family that shows up in good times and in tough times," Schwarzenegger continued. "I love each and every one of them and am so grateful to have them in my life."
