What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. In my opinion saying this to someone who is going through hell and back with a situation is like showing a red rag to a bull, it just doesn’t help. There are times when we need to consider not throwing around such popular sentiments. We would be better off to hold our tongue and be a space for someone to just be.
At times we can feel like we are literally being killed in a situation we are going through and in one way we are going through a sort of death. This may be symbolic in its nature for example we may feel like we are shedding an old skin, an old way of being.
