This is such a tragedy. It is really hard for me to wish death on anyone (reallly hard), but her sleaze-ball of an ex-husband should be in her spot. The world would be much better off with a healthy and strong Elizabeth Edwards than a manipulative, self-centered, and narcissistic John Edwards who threw everyone in his family and everyone around him under the bus to pursue his selfish goals. That woman had to wade through shit’s creek, and by golly she did; she persevered through utter, public (national) humiliation like no one else—I really do admire her. Not trying to be cliche, but I think there’s something we can learn from her to be better people.
