You nailed it. Your daughter has had experience with not being selected ("rejected") and you have told her the truth: everything does happen for a reason, and there may well be a different path. I predict she'll have a fine recruitment, because she has an open mind and heart and a great attitude!

IMO so much heartache/heartbreak comes from unrealistic expectations. PNMS do not accept that they are not always going to get what it is that they think they want or deserve. Reality bites. Hard.
