I hear you. The "you're stronger than you think" comment rarely sits well with me - even when it has been proven correct numerous times. Sometimes it feels very minimizing.
Why can't someone just say - "you know - what you are going through just sucks. It's not fair and it shouldn't be that way. I would feel like giving up too".
or even "is there anything I can do to help you find the strength to get through this."
A little empathy goes a long way in my opinion.
Take care.
Seldom.
