pizza? flowers? a card?

Also, what's the phrase in english for support and encouragement to keep going when someone is going through a difficult time? In chinese say "加油" (literally: add oil ie. add fuel to keep going) or in french we say "courage", don't know what the phrase is in english.

There is a quote from Winston Churchill that says "if you are going through hell, keep going." as in, the only way out of a bad situation is to move forward.

My grandpa always used to say that "you can't jump in puddles unless it's a rainy day" as a way to say a bad situation comes with its own opportunities or upsides (as in bad weather sucks but at least you can have fun jumping in the puddles).

Hope everything works out for you all. I always appreciate a card from someone no matter the situation.
