When you share bad news about your personal life with someone, does it help any if/when they respond by telling you their own similar experiences? Is there something else that would be more helpful to hear?
It helps me when I find out other people are as miserable as I am because of similar bad luck in life, but as for any other specific events, no, I don't think it really helps. I don't think there's anything they could say that would be helpful, not even the usual "things will be ok" or "be strong" or "I'm sorry to hear that" or whatever.
