    Yeah, the get over it in this context is more of… an attempt? At empathy. Instead of “we have to get over it” it should have been something like “we will get through this”.

    He’s said worse things though.

      He said outloud the things that happen or need to happen, but way too soon and that made it incredibly insensitive. Grieving for someone for years isn’t healthy, or isn’t a normal thing to do. Grieving for the next couple of weeks or months though is something different and entirely acceptable. I doubt any form of attempt at solidarity so quickly after an event would be reacted to positively by the public
