Understand what you are saying here, it certainly does hurt when someone casts your offspring aside .. how dare they not see what you see!! No good saying 'plenty more fish in the sea' .. has no effect at this moment in time. Just to recognise their hurt is best. That's the down side of having children, isn't it ? The worry, etc., never stops.

As to grandchildren, well, I have been involved with my Grandaughter more than most Grandmas and, no, doesn't seem to affect me quite the same way, sort of once removed somehow. Seemed to be able to work out that it will be OK more, have more sympathy for my daughter who is feeling the hurt of grandaughter being hurt .. 'course could be just me.
