That is a hard situation to have to go through.. Probably the best thing to say is "I am so sorry and I am here for you".. Everything else is so cliche and doesn't really mean anything.. If you tell them you are sorry and you know how they feel, you can't know how they feel unless you have just lost your mother.. And if you have lost your mother and it has been awhile ago, then you are taking the importance of their fresh grief off of them and making your grief more imoportant.. It is best to let someone talk when they have lost someone and just be there for them to listen and to have a shoulder to cry on..

The best words are the silent kind that you give them by just BEING there for them. Those words are worth a fortune.
