The will of Elizabeth Edwards, the recently deceased estranged wife of former presidential candidate John Edwards, was released this week and it revealed she bequeathed everything she had to their three children — and nothing to John.

It's been said that during her final days, Elizabeth Edwards was too busy living to think much about dying. Instead of planning her funeral or fielding the media, she chose to bask peacefully and quietly in the love of her closest friends and family—including estranged husband John Edwards—determined to maintain what CBS News called "a very warm and nurturing home" for her children.

She took some time to chat with us and revealed why she refrained from cashing in her v-card, what inspired her to finally do the deed, and how she knew her hubby was the one.
