If we didn’t have the information that Elizabeth Edwards was seriously ill with cancer and that doctors had said that further treatment would be unproductive, then her Facebook message could have been taken as just a intense, albeit very intense, Thanksgiving message. But since the Elizabeth Edwards latest news came out that her cancer not only came back but had spread, the message seems more like a goodbye to all her friends. What did she say in the message?
“You all know that 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. 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. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren’t able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It’s called being human. But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful. It isn’t possible to put into words the love and gratitude I feel towards everyone who has and continues to support and inspire me every day. To you I simply say: you know.”

But is this as a goodbye message, a “things are tough right now” or just a call out to her friends thanking them for their support during thick and thin. We don’t really know, but we know that countless people have her in their thoughts and are hoping for a miracle.

I pray for the departed soul in eternal peace and give the family specially her childrens & friends the courage to bear her irreplaceable loss. The breast cancer is one of the leading cause of death among woman in the world, though it is cuareable, if timely diagnosed, the detection of lump in the breast either through self breast examination or by physician
are challanging to us. in developing countries the health education regarding awareness program through IEC(Information Education Communication Materials) based on approve guidelines are being developed, as well as equipments to diagnosed breast cancer are not available. therefore it will continue to take life of young woman.

Don’t waste too mant tears that she is gone,
But try to remember the life she has lived
Don’t stress that she won’t be back
But remember all she’s left us
Don’t cry and shut life out,
But try to think what she would want:
smile, open your eyes love and go on.”

Joan M Gibson commented on Dec 10 10 at 11:52 am

Dear Children of Elizabeth, what a Loving Graceful mother you had/have.I am so saddened by the end of her life but in the same token I admire her most of all.She carried so much pain in her heart with the loss of Wade. Then the affairs of your dad, she stood by his side with the grace she carried so well.Knowing she had a battle of her own againest the worst possible C word we all hate to hear.Then the wolfs called media wouldn’t let a moment go by without something more for your mom’s already broken heart. She stood tall beside your dad with grace and followed thru the election with her head high and the love carved on her face. To finally ask your dad to leave so she could have peace with you three children. Kate to carry on her love for your two younger siblings makes you a very remarkable young lady also I admire you and know you will do the best job with the raising of them because she already has instilled in them herself. I know Wade was waiting at Heavens gates to take her to the loving arms of God where she will be in peace without any pain.God be with you Kate as you carry on in your mother’s steps with your siblings know she sits on your shoulder to give you strength. God be with you and know the world around has broken hearts with you. God’s Love guide you all thru the next few days with the wonderful memories your mom has left you.Know your in my heart along with many others that you mom was the most admired women on earth. Love be with you and your family…
