They say it to comfort the person. To let them know life is hard and has
potholes but He can get us through. I know I say it because I have and am
experiencing it myself.

Makes sense to me. Sometimes I think people say those things to make
themselves feel better. What Tony and Karen are going through is terrible.
There are no words for this.

Sometimes, I think we really need to step back and try not to send sayings
like "we know God won't give us more than we can stand", especially when
that person is on this list. I don't think we realize just how muh those
sayings hurt, until we actually have to deal with the pain of something
going on in our lives. We actually had a young woman in our church who is
dying of cancer ask her family and friends not to ask how she's doing or to
say such comments, because most people don't really mean them anyway. It
really made me stop and think.
I think it's important for all of us to realize just how important it is to
give our support whether it be through prayers or phone calls. Tony and
Karen need that right now. What they don't need is people saying stuff like
"God won't give us more than we can handle".
I'm not being mean. I'm just commenting on this, because the post I saw that
I referred to happened today.

So sorry about Tony as well as Karen.
But. Try to remember God know's how much a person can stand.
1 Corinthians 10. 13
And will not give him any more, even though We may not know the reason
why, while here on earth.
