What is the context?
He says it to Peggy, who is distraught and in the hospital, after just giving birth to a son and immediately giving him up for adoption.

I had to look it up too. You are right, the quote doesn't exactly explain itself.

Since no one is responding...a major character gives birth to an illegitimate child fathered by a married co-worker, has a sort of mental breakdown, and her family takes the child away and tries to cover the whole thing up. Don finds her in a hospital and gives her that advice.
