If you're asking if it is ok to tell someone they should give up, I don't think so. That is there decision. It is tough enough to keep hope on your own, but if someone else starts telling you too, not good. And what if you're wrong? Whenever I hear someone who sounds like they are losing hope, I just try to prod them to think hard about it, and to take time so they're sure, but then let them know there is no right or wrong answer and it's just personal. Bite your tongue on those.
As far as letting loose on people, fine. It's called 2x4's or tough love. Just do it tactfully. Respectfully.
