Life goes on is a redundancy. Life is defined by its going on.
If this continues, if this goes on, then when I die, your memories of me will be my greatest accomplishment. You memories will be my most lasting impressions.

Life goes on. Get over it. You're still young. It'll get better. Blah, Blah, Blah
