我还以为她离婚了呢, 原来只是分居. 所以她还是Mrs. Edwards.
默哀一下.
HILLARY和她类似的地方很多. 都是传奇/历史啊.

[Knowing]

分居也是有法律效力的。
是，她和HRC 都是第一代真正有事业的女性里出众的人物。

刚在wiki上找到她最后在facebook上post的message,一声叹息：
You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces – my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined. The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that. And, yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human.
But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful. It isn't possible to put into words the love and gratitude I feel to everyone who has and continues to support and inspire me every day. To you I simply say: you know

[豪情]

我觉得骨子里她们非常相象, 但是HILLARY锋芒毕露. 对现在的美国社会,还是她公众形象更亲和. 她什么都拿出来说. 而HILLARY, 你很难知道她到底怎么想的. 但是HILLARY还有自己的政治野心, 也比较骄傲, 不可能完全分享.
都是不一般的人物啊.
虽然她后半生充满悲剧, 不等于说她做错了什么, 只是运气不好. 而悲剧里她非同一般的勇气不仅使她成为公众人物,还改变了社会.

[Knowing]

人和人性格不一样，她比较愿意向公众打开自己，HRC 据说跟朋友也非常温暖和坦诚，但是不愿意对公众打开。

伊丽莎白爱德华兹，让我觉得，不管选择什么道路，不管生活向你扔什么悲剧和shit, 你可以坚持有尊严的，正面的生活下去，到生命最后一分钟，都是温暖的，正面的，积极的。
她跟atul讨论健康保险改革的时候，说我不是健康保险的专家，但是只要我愿意，就可以抓住一切机会讲。她知道自己的生命是有限的，但是并不打算自暴自弃的把最后的时间扔在自怜和悲伤中，都是什么样的能量啊。。。

Quote "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."
This makes me want to cry. the older I get the more I realize life is not a rose garden or a bowl of cherries. No matter how much the fun we have, at certain moments, it is just exhausting facing the constant battles of all kinds coming at you. And here is someone who carried through with dignity and grace, and totally human. She will be my inspiration.

人人生活里都有battles，大多数时候我只想动脑找个path of least resistance. （不是劝别人也这样哈。）Life is short and no one knows when one will be dead.

[Knowing]

说的也对，人生苦短。我决定今天干几件一直想干的事情。

默哀.

不知说什么好。
她解脱了。
我是不太科学地觉得她那么大年纪人工干预，生小孩，更年期的身体受到荷尔蒙的刺激，恐怕不是好事。
同样是丧子的父母，她承受和付出的多得多。

Totally agree. That's why sometime I want to spoil my little one.

[豪情]

虽然分居也有法律效力, 但是说明她还是坚持这个IDENTITY. 她结婚没有改夫姓, 而在二十年后儿子去世的时候改了. 说明她是有用意的.

我敬重她, 包括尊重她的选择.人性是复杂的. 我没法批评或者赞成她的选择.

[putaopi]

离婚也好，分居也好，或者继续过日子也好，都是她个人的选择。多年夫妻像是长在一起的藤，割断起来很痛苦的，年岁越长，我越能理解这种痛。

[Knowing]

她在儿子过世时改姓的时候就是说i am taking on my son's last name.

[tiffany]

哎，你们记不记得张爱关于她祖辈一句，他们就活在我的血液里，我死的时候，再死一次。
这是她给她儿子的纪念碑吧。

[豪情]

我就是说她把她儿子的母亲这个IDENTIDY放的很重.
然后她又努力生了两个. 她似乎在某个访问里说到身后事. 两个小孩子会归爸爸. 怎么放得下? 但是她也放下了.

[dropby]

放不下也得放啊, 又没有其他选择.

[putaopi]

我挺能理解她要生两个孩子的，失去儿子的伤痛，只能用新生命来安慰。

[豪情]

麦道夫一个儿子吊死了.
