Yes it's terrible to hear your bike frame is toast.
But you probably got a lot of miles and time out of it, correct?
Swap all the components onto a frame and you are out just the frame cost. More silver lining.
Actually, this bike did not get a lot of miles. Due to the weather in this area, I ride 75 - 80 percent of my miles on my "rain bike." Somewhere between 3000-4000 miles on the cannondale. So no, I did not get nearly the miles you would expect to get out of a $3000 bike. I'm out a frame, derailleur, cassette, back wheel, and chain.
