Isometimesagree – I do not question that this is an important subject to be discussed by a Rov with family emmbers of a choleh. I do question the suggestion that a Godol would say such a hurtful thing to an aveilah during the shiva. That is counterintuitive to everything I have learned about how one should conduct oneself in a shiva house, and the purpose of the shiva visit. Therefore I do not believe that a Rov ever said such a thing at THAT paricular time. There is a time for everything, and that is not it.
