It's not bad advice, per se. It just wasn't helpful. Nothing in this life works out the way it was meant to. Even good intentions fail. We have to roll with the punches, get back up when we're knocked down, and generally accept that nothing is ever going to be the way we wanted it to or thought it would be. There may be a grand plan, but plans change. And if we never learn to recover, always telling ourselves that it'll be alright in the long run, what are the chances we'll even make it far enough to see the way everything unfolded?
Sometimes we don't need to hear that it's going to be okay to feel comforted. Especially when everyone knows it's not going to be okay. All we need to know is that we'll survive.
