Momma can't kiss-n-make-better her broken heart.
Backstory
My beautiful, talented, brilliant daughter is in the process of uprooting her life--relocating, changing jobs, looking for housing, making new connections--for the man she was planning a future with. She was bubbling with the possibilities of a really great job, and called to tell him she was coming to the area for an interview this weekend. He called back to say "I don't love you."I can't fix that....but oh, if only I could.
(and yes, I know hyphens are a cheat)

Oh, AT... I know your heart is breaking for her. This will make her stronger and better, you know. She may surprise you with her resilience.accidentaltourist says,
Thanks, Dean. I know she will recover. She had not burned all her bridges yet so all is not lost. I ache for her, though.canadafreeze says,
Our hearts break and ache for our children, and all we can do is give them our unconditional love and know they will come out on the other side a little smarter.If only we could take the hurt away ...

It's amazing how much we hurt when they hurt. And being the momma, we are supposed to be able to fix it, but we can't. Just being there will be a huge comfort to her.accidentaltourist says,
I am glad to be her comfort and crying shoulder. Her younger sister's approach is more direct. She said, "Can I drive down to his house and punch him in the weiner?" (she has no filters...comes by it honestly)MO_Thoughts2 says,
What amazes me is when was he going to tell her ?We can form the punching line ......
accidentaltourist says,
That's what amazed me...and her. Was he going to wait until she was unemployed and homeless before he decided it wasn't working?Taking volunteers for the punching line...but thinking the guys will politely decline being included. Understood. :)

Thanks, D....from you, who is going through so much, this is especially meaningful. All blessings your way, my friend.DynamicDbytheC says,
This saying was sent to me by a friend who has been moving along with me through my unacceptable situation.
