In my view that is a positivity that is no longer helpful to the individual concerned, as it tells them that their experiences do not matter.<br /><br />Sometimes a little understanding, rather than a brush off via a suitably positive comment is more helpful.

There is a sanity in acknowledging that life is hard sometimes and we don't know when it will improve. it probably won't miraculously be improved by sunshine or no problems would last longer than 9 months!
