What is the best condolence message?

“My deepest sympathy.” “I'm very saddened to hear of your loss.” “I am so sorry for your loss.” “My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow.”

How do you comfort someone?

To comfort your friend, listen intently to what they have to say and let them vent. Keep your advice to yourself unless your friend asks for it so they don't feel like you're brushing their feelings aside. Instead, just let your friend know that you're there for them and that their feelings are justified.
