broody hen on fertilized eggs... not hatching!

I believe it is time to give up on this batch of eggs... No one has yet answered my question about whether to just replace these eggs with another batch of fertilized eggs (keeping her broody) or should I break her of the broodiness and give her a break for a while before having her set on another batch? Physically it seems kinder to give her the break, but mentally, I'm afraid she'll be devastated if I take away her eggs she's been sitting on so diligently... Help! What to do?
