Elizabeth and John Edwards, Partners in the End for the Family They Created
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyElizabeth Edwards spent her final days in the round-the-clock company of her tearful husband, the two of them linked by family, tragedy and maybe even love, despite the stunning political soap opera that destroyed their marriage.

After their teenage son's fatal car accident, the grieving mother conceived two more children and helped her husband parlay his successful legal career on to a track for the White House. Then the impolitic politician betrayed and humiliated her, ...
