It's a delicate matter to tell a person they can benefit from a particular personal suffering, and most people wisely don't go there. Imagine if a friend of yours lost a child. Would you ever tell them that the experience is a great chance for personal growth?

Suffering is always a chance for growth. But talking that way can easily have ring of "get over it."
