Elizabeth Edwards
Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that's good.
Elizabeth Edwards
If I had given up everything that my life was about ... I'd let cancer win before it needed to.
Elizabeth Edwards
You know, I once read a short story about how much you could tell about people from their shoes. You could tell where they had been, what they did, whether they were real walkers.
Elizabeth Edwards
