Three ways to say it
“oh my god i just saw your message, i'm so so sorry, i don't even know what to say honestly, please let me know if there's anything at all i can do, sending you so much love”
I'm so sorry. I'm here whenever you want to talk — or just sit with it.
“honey i'm so sorry, breakups are the worst and you don't deserve this pain, whatever you need — talking, wine, distraction — i'm here for it”
This one is going to hurt for a while. I've got you.
“i just heard about [name] and my heart is with you right now, there aren't really words for this but i'm here, whenever you want to talk or not talk at all”
I heard about [name]. I'm so sorry. I'm here whenever — even just to sit with you.
