It is totally irritating. There ought to be a law against it. It is irrelevant in a period of deep grief and way too simplistic and just plain WRONG in the case of suicide, IMHO.
The people I know who've experienced this have taken some comfort, however miniscule, in reading memoirs by other parents of children who had done the same.
Take care of yourself, one day at a time, chop wood, carry water. A true Zen approach would know the suffering is very real.
