Hmmmmmm.......a simple comment.
How about......
Your questions are causing me discomfort. Is there some reason that you need to know the details? (and smile)
or
I'm not comfortable answering your questions.....I hope you understand. (and smile then change the subject)
or
(chuckle and say) This too shall pass.
People are generally nosey about things that are really none of their business. I think it's ok to gently point that out to them. It does make you wonder how celebrities can live their lives in the spotlight. Sandra Bullock......she handled all of the publicity about her husband's affairs and the subsequent divorce with such grace. Her way of killing the rumors.......she looked FABULOUS.......and you never saw her sweat. She inspires me.
I have full faith that you will handle this matter with grace. You dealt with a terrifying and difficult situation. Breathe deep.......stay centered.......and you'll be ok. Believe it!
gentle hugs
