I know repeating the term "Sorry for your loss" does not take away the hurt and emptiness of losing a loved one. The idea that they are in the arms of our Heavenly Father with no more pain or suffering is the only thing they may put a small dent in the pain you are feeling at this time.
My prayers go out to you and your family and may God ease your pain in time.
