Mr. Paci & the Sea of Sorrows

I know that it's time for her to give up her pacifier, and it's that time for so many reasons. But my little one is quite the determined one, with no regard for any rhyme or reason. In away it's somewhat interesting, but mostly heartbreaking to see. For when it's gone, she cries and cries. She creates a sea of sorrows before she falls asleep.
Now, if you have any suggestions as to how I can help her leave Mr. Paci behind, I'm certainly more than glad to listen. For watching my little one in pain is just too great for this Mommy to bare.
