There was an article published by Everyday Health, called "Elizabeth Edwards succumbs to breast cancer", and it's about a women named Elizabeth Edwards who had a case of breast cancer. Unfortunately, Elizabeth died in 2004 because of the disease and the article talks about her last fight with breast cancer. She was 61- year-old and the wife of the presidential candidate John Edwards. Before her death she thanked the people who that supported her and even went on to say this: "The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. 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 I am grateful for that."
I believe that Mrs. Edwards happens to be one of the many women who fights but doesn't give up hope because of challenge. I love the spirit that she had and the guidance that she gave to others. She was strong and when it was time, she didn't place blame nor did she get angry, she accepted. Accepted the fact that this was apart of human nature and there will be others who will also experience this.
I hope that women who hears of her story will understand that giving up should not be an option. There are ways to cope and find support even if think it's not there. The people who supported her, helped to give her strength that should could pass on to others. They should follow in her steps and push for a better life because there is so much to accomplish.
