Oui. quelques exemples

Il m'est pénible de voir à quel point le gouvernement ne prete pas attention à nos attentes

Il m'est pénible d'entendre ma belle-mère se plaindre tous les jours

Il m'est pénible de porter le poids de telles responsabilités

the dictionary has it as "I'm sorry to..." so I was thinking that someone might use it instead of "Je regrette..."

   

From your examples, my sense is that it's more literal -- "it pains me..."

 

 

 

You're absolutely right. It pains me is the perfect sense
