    Default "Break my fall"

    How can I say "it breaks my fall" (meaning: it stops me from hitting the ground when I fall; it's figurative--example: Your love broke my fall after I was dumped by my boyfriend.)

    Is "ono zaustavi moi pad" okay?

    Thank you!!

    I think the phrase you're looking for is "ublažiti pad" - to soften the fall, or to prevent the fall "sprečiti pad". It's usually the first one, when someone is helping you not to get into your worst.
