Start with expressions like "I'm so sorry for your loss" or "My heart goes out to you during this tough time." Acknowledge their grief by saying something like "I can't imagine how hard this is for you" or "You're in my thoughts." If you knew the person who passed, share a brief, positive memory, such as "I'll always remember [their name] for their kindness."
