I wouldn't call that a message of denial, quite the contrary -- it's the hope that whatever misfortunes you've suffered need not leave permanent scars on you.
Hmm... then perhaps I could less cynically word it as: hope in cases where the odds are stacked most unfavourably against you. (By which I mean "against one", but that looked silly when I wrote it.)
Not that I don't like the idea of people bouncing back from things, but that hasn't been my experience of the way people work. We're fragile things. Hit us with something bad enough and our mental state is damaged, never to be fully restored.
