Janey,
I'm not always sure that it's callousness that makes families say "get over it." In part, I suspect it's denial and self-preservation - "I don't want to have to deal with it, myself let's pretend it never happened." Recognize that it's the same way some people act after a death or divorce: "I can't see why she/he isn't over it... they need to move on, etc."
