Mummy-

I'm so sad today. Any words of comfort?

Kate:
For some reason the words that sprang to my mind were "... love is a battleship" but that isn't quite the tone I wanted.

How about "to have loved and lost is better than to have never loved at all".

In the end, all our relationships and loves become a part of us in some way and add to who we are. They also enhance our life journey. So, I would focus on what you got from him and learned from him and be thankful for the gifts and lessons he gave you. But, in the end, stay clear that this is not the right time for you to be in a long term relationship and therefore, although it is sad and hurts - this is probably the best thing for you.

Other than that - I recommend hot tea, chocolate, bubble baths, soft pjs, a great book and just be kind and gentle with yourself while you have your feelings. This too shall pass.

AHAHAHAHAHA LOVE IS A BATTLESHIP. YOU SANK MY DESTROYER.







Mummy's the greatest for making me laugh.
