Some of us, I'm not sure whether they're the lucky or unlucky,
ones, will die suddenly and unexpectedly, perhaps of a
heart attack, or even perhaps in our sleep.

All of the rest of us will face this same issue that Elizabeth
Edwards is facing.  I agree that she's facing it the right way.

As I've learned from my own reactions to cancer, this is
not the sort of battle one wins by just adopting the right
attitude and moving on from there.  It's a battle that, for
many of us, has to be fought often, with small victories
each day that we face with a postive outlook and each
night that we sleep without tossing and turning all night.

May we all face life and death with courage and grace.
