When my therapist's grandmother died recently, I told him that I was sorry, because I genuinely was. He shared a few sentences with me and that was that. If you feel something about her situation, I think it's okay to say something that indicates you care and are thinking about her.

I agree with this. It is an expression of your values to touch on it compassionately.
