"She struggles to breathe and requires an oxygen tank to do so," an insider told the National Enquirer. "There are days when she can't even get out of bed and, if she does, Ethel uses a walker or wheelchair."

That being said, the family matriarch is rarely seen outside the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.

Human rights advocate Ethel lost her beloved husband when he was assassinated during his 1968 White House bid, nearly five years after his brother, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated during a motorcade in Dallas, Texas.

The confidant further alleged that confused Ethel often has long conversations with her late husband. Her alleged conversations with RFK reportedly centered on their fourth-born, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who's the current independent presidential candidate.

RFK Jr.'s controversial political views and campaign are apparently ripping the family apart.

The independent candidate has been blasted by some of his siblings for taking votes away from incumbent Democrat Joe Biden, promoting anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and even campaigning for the release of their father's murderer, Sirhan B. Sirhan, 79.

"Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgement," his sisters Kathleen, Kerry and Rory and brother Joseph said in a scathing joint statement.

Sources said the muddled matriarch has repeatedly sought counseling from her late husband about how to heal the rift.

"Ethel has been the glue that held the family together for so long," an insider explained. "But she just doesn't have the strength to do it anymore."
