Helping a loved one cope with death...

Recently my fiancee's grandfather died (last night actualy). This man meant so much to my fiancee and I knew this. She is totaly distraught and I can't get her to stop crying. Normally I'm great at giving and advice and a comforting word. But It seems that nothing I do can get her to stop crying. I hate seeing her like this. It makes me sad, however I know that I need to be strong and be the person she needs to lean on. But am I a bad person for wanting her to just "suck it up" I hate thinking that, I guess I handle death differently...I feel like a bad fiancee for thinking that but...gah I just want to help her. What can I do? Saying "It's okay baby, I love you and we'll get through this." can only be so effective. Could someone atleast give me something to say? I mean did someone say something to you that helped you through a trying death you experienced. Help...please.
