In other words, when someone has died, we have phrases that everyone in our culture is familiar with -- such as 'I'm so sorry for your loss' or 'My condolences.' You would never use the word condolences when someone has suffered, let's say, a job loss or if they've had a car accident or some other unfortunate event.
"The words sympathy and condolences really are only used in the event of a death. But if someone has had another unfortunate event happen to them, I think I would say something like 'I'm sorry for what happened. Is there anything that I can do to help?' What would you say?"
"'I heard what happened. How can I help?' Again, I don't think we have any set phrase for a situation like that."
