In an emotional interview, Ivanka Trump shared some of the most difficult moments of her life, touching on the loss of her mother, her husband's battle with illness, and the assassination attempt on her father, U.S. President Donald Trump. Speaking on the "Diary of a CEO" podcast, she painfully recalled her mother, Ivana Trump, describing her as a strong and vibrant woman. Her loss, especially unexpectedly after COVID, deeply affected her.
In her account, Ivanka also paused to reflect on the role of her grandmother, Marie Zelnรญฤkovรก, who lives with her family in Florida and cares for her grandchildren, sharing stories about her late mother. Another challenging moment was her husband Jared Kushner's confrontation with cancer.

Ivanka also recalled the day of the assassination attempt on her father in Butler, Pennsylvania, an event she experienced from afar, through television, while she was with her children. She confessed that the initial moments were filled with fear, but relief came when she saw he was out of danger.
Finally, she emphasized that such experiences have taught her not to take anything for granted in life. Ivanka said she has chosen to forgive even the person who attempted the attack, considering forgiveness a difficult but necessary process.
