I called KLM and the KLM phone agent said that she would not offer anything except a cancellation of the reservation and a refund of only the taxes. Does this sound like the KLM policy?
My condolences first, then

This seems to be a typical case to handle with your travel insurance company and not the airline.
Changes, do it with the airlines. You can change whatever you want
The forthcoming additional fees, your financial loss, additional expenses... > claim with travel insurance.
