I would say 我会告诉你的. 别让他们难过. Your original sentences are also completely acceptable. I don't think you need to spend time trying to memorizing the expressions native Chinese speakers recommended.

for the first one，add 的 at the end will be sound a little more natural, 我会让你知道sounds a little like half of sentence the second one is good

第一句没问题，很自然。第二句给觉得去掉就更好了。别让他们难过。we typeically leave out the verb"feel" in this sentence. e.g:别让你爸妈担心。别让你媳妇伤心/难过。

In my opinion.. the Chinese sentences are sound natural.They are correct.

Both of them are natural. But the second one "别让他们感到难过" is better, because in most cases, "觉得”means "think" in spoken Chinese. For example "I think most people on italki are friendly"→“我觉得/认为大多数italki网站的人都很友好”
