WASHINGTON (AP) — Elizabeth Edwards is gravely ill and doctors have told her she only has weeks to live, according to a family friend who is among those who have gathered with Edwards at her North Carolina home.

The family issued a statement Monday that said doctors have told her that further treatment for her cancer would be unproductive, and the family friend further described Edwards' condition to The Associated Press.

Prayers for her and all in similar situations.

I think she is a tough lady in a good way her politics aside.

God Bless her.

I read her book and it was frankly great (minus the liberal stuff—but there wasn’t much politics in the book).

Prayers for her.

And what does anyone want to bet that he will show up as the grieving husband at her funeral.

May this brave woman rest in the arms of Jesus. From all I’ve heard and read about her, it seems that she experienced more than her share of hell on earth.

A prayer for Elizabeth

The Lord Is My Shepherd A Psalm of David. 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

That's certainly a relief.

I'm not sure that reminding people that we're being watched by people who wish harm to this website is an admonition, but you have as much right to your opinion as anyone.

John Edward's quote on the cover of the National Enquirer stated (when they broke the story of his love child):

"We'll be together when Elizabeth is gone."

Yes, I do feel for Elizabeth and will pray for her...

He needs to be at the funeral for his children, regardless of the wrongs committed in his marriage. I won’t fault him for that.

May God be with Elizabeth and her family.

He’s so gross. He’ll grieve for the publicity then run off to marry his little sweetie. Prayers for her peace and for her children.

Ms Edwards never struck me as a militant, rabid lib. She always seemed sincere about beliefs (however misguided) and of the ‘old fashioned’ type of democrat. Her husband is scum and he has a special place in hell waiting for him. He and Al Gore used their women up and in typical style of a man who discovers ‘power’, abandoned their families.

God be with you Elizabeth. You are in many prayers.

As much as I don't like John Edwards, this is a no win situation for him. (Well deserved I might add.) If he shows up he is a crass hypocrite, if he doesn't, he's an uncaring monster. Either way he loses, that because either way, folks would be right.

“Hospice”

I don’t know how to die.
I hope I can do it right.
I’m scared.

Who can help?
Who can tell me how?
They’re scared too.

They don’t know.
They can’t know.
I’m alone.

I’m a pioneer,
on a well-worn path.
There be monsters there?

Hold my hand.
Smile.
Joke if you can.

I’ll die the best I can,
for you.
