Elizabeth Edwards Posts Apparent Goodbye Message

My grandma is taking this story very hard. She lost her daughter from breast cancer... She was hoping people with money would survive from breast cancer as she wanted to believe if her daughter had money, she would still be alive today. :(

OB, I am really sorry this upsets you so much. I mean it.

It is sad. But death is a part of life.

I am interested in the details. It will happen to all of us someday.

Inside Elizabeth Edwards's Last Days
Elizabeth Edwards: Her Last Days : People.com

Two months ago, Elizabeth Edwards was laboring to climb the stairs of the old colonial house she had recently bought in Chapel Hill, N.C., for herself and her youngest two children. Separated from husband John since January, she looked forward to making a fresh start come springtime in this new home.

But even as she daydreamed on this sunny October day, Edwards, 61, gasped for breath with tears in her eyes and cursed her chemo.

"Damn these drugs," she cried. "Damn cancer."

Elizabeth Edwards would never move into that house. Instead, just days after learning that the breast cancer she had been fighting off-and-on since 2004 had spread to her liver, and that treatment was no longer productive, she died in the home she built with John.

"She's at peace," said a close friend who saw her the day she died, surrounded by friends and family, including her children and estranged husband. "After so much pain the past several years, it was an easy passing, and she deserved that."

I took it hard at first, too, but for different reasons. My Dad is currently battling stage 3 colon cancer. Before his diagnosis, I could shrug this stuff off a little better thinking "We all have to go sometime", but it when it hits you personally; it's just hard.

I apologize to Bott and Sara for being self absorbed. It just was hard to see, but, then I realized I could step away from the thread if I needed to until I could handle things better. I did that, and, I'm OK now. It's still sad, but, it's not cutting me to the core like it did when I first heard about it.

I hope the pain is not as hard or long for her. I am thinking of her family, immediate and extended.

Me too. At least two of my family have died of breast cancer. My mother is the only one in my family who survived it.

That's amazing to me how people can behave.

Yeah. It's appalling how some some people have so little empathy toward others. I'm always amazed at how little empathy that some people have for others. I don't think I'll ever understand such people.
