What is the most natural way in Spanish to say "I'm sorry for your loss," as in what you would say to someone grieving over a departed relative or friend (or even the loss of a job)?

The translation for that particular case (grieving) could be one of this:

Mi más sentido pésame

Mi más sincero pésame

Both are formal ways. The action of doing this is:

Dar el pésame (to your friend who just loss his father for example)

A more informal way of doing this would be:

Siento mucho tu pérdida

Te acompaño en tu dolor

Te acompaño en el sentimiento (thanks @Rellikiox)

    I would add "Te acompaño en el sentimiento", it's very common.

The most accurate translation in my opinion would be Lamento su/tu pérdida (formal/informal)
