I believe you are right that nobody knows what to do or say, but I believe you are wrong to think you have worn out your welcome. (Of course, I don't know your situation, but...)
Many people understand that there really is nothing to say except "I'm so sorry to hear about your son" and after that is the comfort extended by you being able to be with family in silence, if you want.
Please take time to be with others, especially if you are prone to depression (I don't know your dx). It's bound to be odd and awkward, but also comforting. Anybody who loves you will want you with them.
