Edwards broke her silence regarding her condition with a post on her Facebook page. "I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces – my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope," she wrote. "These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined. The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that.
"It isn’t possible to put into words the love and gratitude I feel to everyone who has and continues to support and inspire me every day. To you I simply say: you know. With love, Elizabeth."

This is one woman who has cancer but it was of the body not the soul like a lot of people have these days..she leaves her children with her strength and example. As she says all of our days are numbered and what will we leave behind us?

Hey "searchfunction", why don't you go stick your head in a gas oven and turn it on. It's a shame wonderful people like Elizabeth Edwards will leave this life too soon, yet trash like you stays around.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the children. I am sure she was a wonderful mother who loved them very much. I saw her on Larry King saying her prayer was to live 5 more years for the sake of her children. I pray she is not in pain.

There is also a grace that comes when you comfort your family and friends and put their needs and feelings before your own. Your children have been blessed to have you for a mother and role model. God Bless you Elizabeth.

Beautifully said. I'll bet she did everything possible to try and prepare her children but it will be so hard for them. She seem to be such a kind and loving mother. I pray she can hold her son in her arms again in heaven.

May the Angels of Mercy carry her gently home. Amen
