Sometimes the truth hurts, probably more often than not. Common decency dictates that if the grieving parents were believers then this is not the time to disillusion them. Believers or not, the most honest thing to say is "I'm sorry for your loss" or words to that effect.

What boxcar is asserting is an appeal to consequences, i.e., if x is not true then there are negative outcomes, ergo, x must be true.
