The Courage of Elizabeth Edwards

In the Spring of last year, Elizabeth Edwards book, "Resilience", was released. During the past couple of weeks her husband has been in the news for his unfaithfulness to her and the consequences. In her book, "Resilience", she shares her reactions to her husband's confession of his affair with Rielle Hunter. She shares how she became sick enough to throw up, cried, screamed when she heard the news, which was actually long before we heard about it.

None of us can deny that she is, as the title of her book implies, a resilient and a strong woman. All of us, especially us women, were shocked to hear the news when it first came out...and could feel her pain...how a husband could do this to his wife that is battling cancer disgusted us all (I hope). I opened up a dialog on the topic, and shared some about her books, at another site, if you would like to visit, with a place to share your own thoughts entitled "Cheating Politicians Saying 'I'm Sorry', Sincere or Suspicious'"?

We shouldn't forget that on top of all of that Elizabeth Edwards has experienced in her marriage and in her battle with cancer, she has also experienced the loss of a child. Now we can read about all of the experiences that make Elizabeth Edwards the woman of character she is from her perspective. She also has another book that shares how much the support of friends means at a time like this.

We wish her the best in her ongoing battle against cancer, and living with the memories the thoughts that must come to mind now and then, wishing her the ongoing strength to forgive, and continue to bless us with her gift of encouragement.
