False comfort as opposed to what? Because let us look at reality as it is: Humanity is doomed. We have perhaps, if we are lucky, another few thousand years on Planet Earth before we go extinct and our fossilized bones are perhaps found by another interstellar civilization that muses over our ashes. Or, more likely, the empty skies look down upon as as the stars wink out one by one as the heat death of the universe approaches, and our sun expands and atomizes this planet.
There is false comfort. And then there is no comfort.
From my point of view, as one who has lost many friends and family, there is no comfort, and as I stated earlier, words are useless, for mere words are empty and they mean nothing to one who is grieving.
