These nasty people deserved one another.
That EE would happily foist her loser husband on the public knowing his character as she did reflects very poorly on her.

Before she died, Elizabeth Edwards carefully crafted a devastating 3-pronged plan of revenge to punish John Edwards for betraying her with Rielle Hunter, and then lying about it for months before finally telling her the truth. See How to Get a Cheater to Tell You the Truth about His Affair
If the details in the National Enquirer are to be believed, Elizabeth used her parting statements to John on her deathbed, the arrangements for her funeral, and the amendments to her will to ensure that John Edwards will pay for cheating on her for the rest of his life.
A Well Thought Out 3-Pronged Plan of Revenge
Though she struggled to forgive John Edwards for his affair, and urges her children, her friends, and the public to the same, for Elizabeth Edwards that forgiveness never came.
Elizabeth bided her time and carefully plotted her revenge on John Edwards, Rielle Hunter, and John and Rielle’s lovechild, 2-year-old little Quinn.
As reported in the National Enquirer, which first broke the story about John Edwards and Rielle Hunter’s affair, below are the details of Elizabeth Edwards 3-pronged master-plan of revenge.
On Elizabeth Edwards’ Deathbed
As she lay dying, Elizabeth Edwards took steps to ensure that John Edwards understood the full import of how deeply he’d hurt her with his affair. She even sent a message to his mistress, Rielle.
During his bedside vigil in in Elizabeth Edwards final hours, John Edwards repeatedly begged his betrayed wife for her forgiveness. But she adamantly refuse to forgive her cheating husband for his affair. It was reported that as she lay dying Elizabeth angrily screamed at John: “You ruined my life — I’ll NEVER forgive you!’ – words that will probably haunt him for the rest of his life. See Elizabeth Edwards Got Her Revenge on John Edwards Before She Died andSee Rielle Hunter and Other Modern Day Mistresses Who Ruined Their Lover’s Lives Elizabeth Edwards also unleashed her anger at her husband’s mistress before she died. An insider told close to the family told the National Enquirer that Elizabeth Edwards cursed Rielle Hunter, yelling at John that Rielle should know that for destroying their family, she would “rot in Hell.”
At Elizabeth Edwards’ Funeral
Elizabeth Edwards’ funeral arranged were designed to further punish and humiliate John Edwards.
While John Edwards was permitted to attend Elizabeth’s funeral and sit up front with their three children, he was not allowed to speak. Elizabeth Edwards was eulogized by their 28-year-old daughter Cate and two of Elizabeth’s closest friends. Insiders told the National Enquirer that Elizabeth Edwards deliberately excluded John Edwards from any official role.
To add insult to injury, John Edwards name was not mentioned anywhere on the printed funeral program which the mourners received.
In Elizabeth Edwards’ Will
Elizabeth Edwards’ will was cleverly amended to exact the ultimate revenge to all parties involved – John Edwards, Rielle Hunter and even little Quinn, as you will see from the details below. See Elizabeth Edwards Will Amended to Heap Further Revenge on John Edwards and How to Legally and Financially Get Revenge on a Cheating Mate
Elizabeth Edwards amended her will so that if John Edwards marries, or even lives with his mistress, Rielle Hunter, he will forfeit a sizeable portion of the couple’s $53 million fortune. See As America Mourned Elizabeth Edwards, Rielle Hunter Envisioned Marrying John. Elizabeth’s amended will also stipulates that John Edwards cannot call off the sale of their multi-million family mansion in Chapel Hill and move in with his mistress, Rielle and their daughter, Quinn.
Under the terms of Elizabeth’s Edwards’ will, both the family mansion in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and the family’s vacation home on Figure Eight Island, are now off-limits to her husband’s mistress, Rielle Hunter.
In her amended will, Elizabeth Edwards also seeks to ban little Quinn – John and Rielle’s lovechild – from ever seeing or even coming in contact with her 12-year-old half- sister, Emma Claire, and her 10-year-old half-brother, Jack, - John and Elizabeth’s two youngest children.
Elizabeth Edwards further restructured her will in such a way that John’s lovechild, little Quinn is cut off from ever receiving any of the funds intended for the Edwards children, Jack, Emma Claire, and Cate.
In one final act of revenge, Elizabeth arranged things so that John Edwards is banned from making any major decisions regarding his own children, Jack and Emma Claire, unless he has the approval his 28-year-old daughter, Cate.
Those Closest to Elizabeth Edwards Probably Never Knew
Elizabeth Edwards put on a brave front for her children, the public and those around her.
It appears that Elizabeth’s closest friends had no idea how her heart was savaged and ripped apart by her husband’s affair. See Elizabeth Edwards Showed Us Infidelity from the Betrayed Wife’s Point of View.
The lengths an angry and unforgiving Elizabeth Edwards went to, to seek revenge and punish and humiliate John Edwards, gives us some idea of how deeply she was hurt. See Revenge Cheating is a Common Female Response to Infidelity.
Anger and bitterness are dangerous and destructive emotions. Elizabeth Edwards’ efforts to seek revenge probably hastened her death.
John Edwards will have to live with that knowledge for the rest of his life.
These nasty people deserved one another.
That EE would happily foist her loser husband on the public knowing his character as she did reflects very poorly on her.
How can she stop JE from taking his children, he is their father? This does not make any sense to me.
You said “She is in peace now and will wait for him with Jesus by her side”. This lady has been through a lot and I truly hope she is with Christ but it’s not clear she was a Christian.

There are two ways to die naturally. In peace and in angst. If we are to believe the article written, it appears Elizabeth died in angst. Anger may have some effect on the nature of how cancer eats away at the body. I’ve heard so many times that laughter and love have healing properties.
Agreed though, a poor article based on opinion.
“The best revenge is living well”.
Sounds like a shrew and a harpie. He should take the hit financially, He’s sure to walk away with a few million. Then go live a happy life with a kinder woman.
And write a lurid book about her meaness. That’s just me.
Well it seems that EE was a hateful lying democrat lawyer to the very end.
How wonderful for her. What did she really expect when she married a hateful lying democrat lawyer?
I don’t get how one spouse (now dead) can stop another from making major decisions for their minor children. I can see everything else she did in terms of gifts, asset protection, etc. They are his children too, she did not have more than 50% say in their lives alive, how can she when she’s dead?
Such as?
“I suspect his cheating was John’s way of getting back at her for the years of mental abuse she inflicted on him with her personality”
I second the motion.
This doesn’t make sense...Edwards has the estate.
Also, as for “poor” Elizabeth, she was in her glory as her husband sued Doctors and ravaged NC medical practice, talking about “hearing those embryos talk to me..” he sent malpractice insurance soaring out of site and ruined an entire industry.
Then he builds a 28,000 sq. ft. estate with a 17,000 sq. ft. “Play barn” in Chapel Hill. She knew what was going on and took full advantage to play victim. She star-gazed at occupying the White House and used her medical condition as a weapon to draw votes.
It is too bad young children lose their mother before they grow to adulthood. Elizabeth Edwards is a victim like Hillary is a victim...
Most men will cheat given the opportunity.
Yep...I too remember how she attacked the neighbor for being conservative...she, however was living next door in the biggest single family dwelling in Chapel Hill....that’s a limosine liberal for you.
I can understand her anger and hurt she was treated very badly by her husband. She could very well have planned all these things but I would not like to go to meet God with so much hate in my heart. I hope that under the same circumstances I would forgive him.
While her husband would make anyone's skin crawl, she chose to publicly stand by him and to try to foist his incompetent and supremely blackmailable carcass on our country.
While nothing she could do to her husband could tarnish her at this point, she was far from a "lovely woman."
Man there are some bitter b*tches on this thread. Better read some Holy Scripture. Her bitterness and lack of forgiveness has no impact on the idiots eternal progression (read that the low-life John Edwards) but is a significant stain on her soul. Imagine meeting the Lord with that hatred still in your heart. I pray I never do so.
If they weren’t divorced she didn’t have much say in anything that was not her sole and seperate property. I’m sorry about what happened to her, both in having a cheating husband and in getting cancer, but she can’t keep him from his children and she has no say over money he earned.
true. but it doesn’t mean she’s entitled to any of elizabeths money
Then how will GOD be able to forgive you Mrs. Edwards?
In all the other matters, I say good for her. Although I don't see how the order that John has no authority over his own small children could ever stand up in court, she was a lawyer and should know that.
After reading the Examiner account; several thoughts.
Elizabeth Edwards had every right to be pizzed at John; but there is no escaping the scripture that states that if we do not forgive others, God will not forgive us. Pretty shakey ground for someone about to step out into eternity, to be yelling unforgiveness to someone; even a cheating, lowlife scumbag husband. She should have left the revenge in God’s hands. He is SO much more thorough than anything Liz could do. Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Also; I don’t think that a lot of the stuff SHE thought she could control after her death merely by SAYING so, will NOT actually hold water. Courts are pretty edgy about allowing someone “a hand from the grave.”
i don’t get that. Why is she a harpie? because she’s pissed that her husband cheated on her?and his mistress is now the kind woman because why? because she’d sleep with another womans husband. Boy, is your view skewed.
