Susan,
you're not a failure! You're an empathetic person. You tried a few literary devices (so to speak); a few phrases over email designed to try and help. Now you're getting feedback from others on how it worked. People are ALWAYS going to diverge on words -- some will like the way something sounds, and we'll all interpret things differently.But it's only WORDS -- it's so hard to communicate over email. I think (from knowing you thru the multiple messages we've exchanged) that you have a deep empathy for others. I can see that you are trying different verbal and written techniques and styles to help. That's never bad!
Don't give up. Have that tea or milk, get some rest, and come back here later. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
JenStarPS - Unfortunately I have some deadlines @ work & can't post as much as I'd like. If you hear from me less frequently, it's not me trying to be cold or unfriendly...just busy. :)
take care.
