I can see your point, but look at it from the OP's POV - he's just had a load of bricks dropped on him, and is probably confused and bewildered. In a situation like that it might be helpful to get some information from people who are not emotionally invested. Clearly, some people might say stupid things, but I think this is helpful to get some perspective and to "land on one's feet". He can talk to friends/family, but those people are (a) biased and (b) not necessarily informed. Alternatively, he can talk to a shrink/lawyer but that is expensive.
