Your patience in dealing with her and your ability to stay upbeat is amazing. mmf gave a great visual of her haning over the cliff. As hard as it is for the kids to hear "not going to happen", being wishy washy IMO would be worse. I would prefer a hug and an I love you so much. Just me.
I think her not having the support of BF and others she was working with may help her on her way.
