... telling someone who is acutely suicidal and distressed that 'you're young', 'you're intelligent', 'you have a lot to live', 'you have your future ahead of you', etc, etc, is supposed to help!
That's what I get told by doctors all the time. Doesn't change how horrific I feel, just manages to gloss over it. I know it's said with good intent, but sometimes it's better to say nothing, than say something.
