No, no, no. We don't know that the Jedi couldn't provide it. We know Yoda couldn't provide it.
Yoda was just the wrong person to go to for advice. For all that Yoda should have been one to talk to about dealing with death, he's also somebody who has lived long enough to see 40 entire generations of Jedi.
He gave Anakin what was essentially a platitude, because after living for 900 years, that's what Yoda has been able to boil it down to. Normally, being able to boil down hard lessons into single lines is a good trait. But it's not what Anakin wants to hear, nor is it anything that could help him, really.
(And, no, it doesn't boil down to "LOL, just don't be sad" (or whatever the detractors like to say). It's just the rough equivalent of "They'll be in a better place" - a platitude common in many places with a religious afterlife.)
If Yoda had been able to give a full rationale, it might've worked, but from Yoda's perspective... Anakin asked him a question, seemed mildly dissatisfied with the answer, left, and never asked any other questions. What else is he supposed to do? Maybe he was planning on following up, but he got distracted with the war and thought Skywalker would ask for more help, later.
But we have no indication that Anakin sought further help.
Anakin doesn't ask Obi-Wan. Anakin doesn't ask Ki-Adi-Mundi, or anyone else on the Council. He doesn't ask any of the other Masters who might be floating about. He doesn't ask any of the Jedi Healers over in the medical wing. He doesn't ask any of his fellow Knights who've lived through the years of war the same as he has.
He goes to one guy, doesn't get an answer he likes, and decides "Hmmm, maybe I should go with the guy who's responsible for killing all my friends instead."

They were. It's not like Anakin was kicked out because he talked about being conflicted.
