When my mom was in the process of being eaten alive by cancer, I asked for prayers on the Broncos message board I'm a member of. Not because I believed they would do any good, but because I could print the thread and let my dad read them to her. They did nothing for me, but they were a comfort to mom. If that was deceitful or lying, so be it. There wasn't much I wouldn't have done for mom at that time. If I could have traded another's life for hers... Well, I know some people the world would be better off without.
While I prefer a hard truth to a comforting lie, I don't think there's any harm in that comfort. A little white lie to that purpose is a good thing.
