Usually this is asked to someone who has been going through a difficulty, such as sickness, the death of a loved one, etc. It’s another way to say “how are you?” and/or “are you ok?”

@pontaku You’re welcome. One more thought…this can also be asked when you and someone else is trying to get something done. If they seem like they’re struggling you can ask them this. 🙂
