Giving grief refers more to back-talking, or yelling at someone. Causing grief refers to something you did or said that hurt someone. Causing grief is a kinder way to say what I think you are wanting.

Causing someone grief would be making them sad, like accidentally running over their dog.
Giving someone grief is an expression that means making them mad by trying to irritate them and making their life difficult.

Seems to me it works both ways depending on exactly what you mean.
Causing grief could be inadvertent and not something the causer meant in advance.
Giving grief seems to be a willful intentional act of inflicting grief upon someone.

"I am sorry you are feeling this grief"
You don't have the power you are thinking. We are all responsible for ourselves. feeling comes from within. grief is a part of emotional healing. your apology is part of your grieving.
