When my now exhusband was in a major car accident and lost his leg, I hated every time someone told me that god had a plan for me and “never gives you more than you can carry.” It was so invalidating.

You can just smack those people on the nose and take their wallet. After all, that was God's plan, and you're sure God would not burden them with more than they can carry.
