Answer
When one receives a sad news, one should reply, ?Innaa Ilayhi Wa Innaa Ilayhi Raaji?oon? (Verily we belong to Allah and will return to Allah)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
