In all the times I've been hopeless and suicidal, I've never had a therapist or a pdoc say something like that to me. They weren't all "poor baby" and sympathetic either, but they would never have said that. Their approach was to help me come up with an alternate plan to keep me safe while I rode out the storm because even I knew (sometimes very, very deep down) that the episode would eventually pass even if it was hard to see and believe it in the moment. They weren't ones to let me dwell on it and spend a lot of time talking about it in therapy though; I was generally already ruminating on it at that point, so engaging that thought process was counter-productive. Perhaps that was your therapist's thinking, but her words and approach suck.
