[Borrowed greeneyedspy.  I will eventually give him back.]

No matter which ocean it is or what part of the world it's in, an empty beach and a vast ocean has a way of making someone feel so alone in the world.  Jen sits by herself in the dark, in the sand, watching the waves inch ever closer.  The tide has started coming in and the water threatens to lick her

She shakes her head and between sobs, manages to get out, "I don't even take care of myself." She doesn't tell him that she never got to find out if she would have been a good mother. She doesn't say that she can't ever find out.

"I know because all of the pain you feel would have been your love for that little girl,"he kissed the top of her head.

His words just start Jenny crying harder. Because he's right and she knows it.
