I wanted to let you guys know that you can get Elizabeth Edwards latest book, Reliance, as an e-book on Amazon for $8. I downloaded it onto my i-phone and ipad. I started reading it last night and there are many many gems regarding her coping style and way of viewing her life (death of her oldest son, breast cancer and re-occurance and infidelity of her husband). She was an amazing woman and I wish I could have met her.

    I was sad
    all day yesterday, after seeing all the reports on her. I think I will get her book. She might be able to shed some light on some ways to strengthen/prepare my kids, in case that some day they are, also without a mom. I hope that day is waaaaaaay in the future. My goodness, this is my hot button, I haven't cried this much in a long time.

    Me, too and ditto. Her passing really hit home for me. She was such a class act (and he is such a jerk).

    I cried too
    I thought Elizabeth was an amazing woman. Her death really hit me hard. I don't know how she made it through everything that was thrown at her.

    She was truly
    She was truly phenomenol!

    Her book is fantastic, I recommend it to anyone who is having difficulty coping with their
    cancer. It definitely lifted and gave me a renewed vigor to continue on until I can't...period.

    I hate she has left us and her babies and she will be missed.

    I've thought about Elizabeth
    I've thought about Elizabeth Edwards all week. She was such an inspiration. I hoped and prayed that she would be one who would beat it, I really thought she would. What a tragic loss...
