No Forgiveness for John Edwards
The National Enquirer reports that when John Edwards realized that the end was near he begged his betrayed wife for forgiveness, but Elizabeth refused to relent.
On her deathbed, a hurt, angry Elizabeth screamed at John, saying ‘You ruined my life — I’ll NEVER forgive you!’
Reports say that John Edwards repeatedly broke down in tears, and actually doubled over with grief at Elizabeth’s bedside. But she showed John no remorse. Nothing he said could change Elizabeth’s mind.
The only concession Elizabeth was willing to grant her cheating husband was to pray with him that God would give him the strength to protect and raise their two young children, Jack and Emma Claire, after she was gone.
Cutting John Edwards Out of Her Will
Not only did Elizabeth refuse to forgive John as she neared death, she informed John that she’d changed her will to cut him off from part of their $53 million fortune if he married his mistress, Rielle Hunter, after she died.
As she lay dying, Elizabeth Edwards also unleashed her anger at Rielle Hunter for destroying her marriage and ruining the bright political future John Edwards had.
According to reports. Elizabeth also had a few choice words for Rielle before she died, screaming to John that Rielle…. will 'rot in hell!
A source close to the Edwards family reported that when it finally dawned on John that the end was near for Elizabeth, and that she would never forgive him, he collapsed.
No doubt John realized that the stress of dealing with his infidelity, and the bitterness and rage she felt about his betrayal served to hasten Elizabeth Edwards’ death.
The animosity Elizabeth harbored for his mistress, Rielle Hunter, was probably a contributing factor , as well.
Elizabeth Edwards' deathbed words will probably haunt John Edwards for the rest of his life.
I don’t think there are any good people in this story.
Rightly so.
So sad and painful to read that. The 10 Commandments are there for a reason.
Can't decide if I want it to be a long and lonely one, or a short and well-haunted one.
Oh well, it's not up to me anyway.
She must have been pretty strong to be doing all that ‘screaming’. Usually cancer patients are barely there when death is near. They’re certainly not screaming at anyone.
Oh please,,, lol
You can only live with them.
Yeah, but...her deathbed actions may haunt her for an eternity.
Your sins will find you out.
I highly doubt it.
In fact, I'd bet money he left her bedside, checked his hair and bedded is mistress that night.
Edwards is a phony in every respect. It’s a shame it took her so long to figure it out.
Why didn’t she just bar him from her presence and die in peace? And cut him out of the will, period, regardless of whether he marries the mistress.
Sounds like she died bitter and angry. I’m so sad for those young trophy test-tube kids they produced.
How sad, to die and be so bitter, I cannot blame her, it’s just all so tragic, mankind is a vicious animal in many ways ...
this POS is probably only haunted by the money he will lose.
Are you sure this isnt what Al gore Screamed at W?
She was willing to keep quiet about the matter as he was seeking the White House. She needs to let it go.
My thoughts as well. She should have forgiven him, then let God deal with him in His own way.
No disrespect for the dead intended, but I doubt Rielle ruined either.
Elizabeth, being a lawyer, should have known that. After all, she married an extremely sleazy one.
Prayers for the children.
