What comment would you like to hear in this case that would cover most of these things?  Is there one? 

 

One recently that I appreciated, the other person said, I'm really sorry for your loss.  I said, "so am I, and thank you".  It let me acknowledge the loss I was suffering and I was sorry about the loss too, and was able to thank them, for caring, and not making it seem like just another saying.  So I do understand this.

I tell them "I'm sorry".  "Please let me know if I can do anything to help you."

If I have anything specific to add, that would help the situation, I do.
