My best friend

My best friend just lost her grandmother today. What complicates things is that she and her family are Christian, and I don't know how to comfort her. Anything that could be said to comfort me in the same situation would just be insulting to her. I can't tell her that her grandmother's in a better place, or that they'll see each other again. Lying won't help anyone, and neither will telling her anything I believe personally. Any advice would be appreciated.
