Then he can wallow in misery and do nothing? Look, the very act of overcoming tragedy is inspirational for those who think they have to walk such a path alone. They don't and here is a very public someone struggling through the same kind of burden. Being realistic about the hardships is not negative; however, refusing to make the best is actively harmful. I like his attitude thus far.
You talk as though "refusing to make the best" is an obstinate act of will for which a person in pain should be criticized. When people are hit with the pain of such an adjustment, they always make the best of it that they can, but their "best" is very often unsatisfactory to those on the outside, who think the suffering person "should" somehow do better than they are capable of.
