Elizabeth dedicated her whole life to her family, and provided her son with the love that her husband did not. During World War I, her son was eager to join the army and Elizabeth prayed every night that it would be over before he reached 18. However, shortly after her son turned 17, she, her son and her husband fell victims to the Spanish influenza in 1918. Elizabeth doted on her son, and Carlisle tells Bella Swan that she ruined her own chances of living by nursing Edward. While on her death bed in a hospital in Chicago, she said to Carlisle, "You must do everything in your power. What others cannot do, that is what you must do for my Edward." Carlisle still wonders to this day if Elizabeth knew he was a vampire, but will never have that answer.

Note

  • Carlisle's description of Elizabeth's dying wishes signifies that she may have realized that Carlisle wasn't human. This also theorizes that Elizabeth may have had a gift of sensing such things, supported by Edward's telepathy as well as their physical similarities. The psychic immunity that Bella inherited from her father also indicates that supernatural gifts could be hereditary.
