what to do when your virtual family is extremely weak?

If the whole family is extremely weak, then my first suggestion would be to make sure they have food. If food is the problem, stock up on groceries and just wait a while, they'll get their energy back. If they have food, try the doctor stethoscope, that might tell you what to do.

If you've got old TVs sitting around that still work, consider donating them instead. Try calling up your local Goodwill, Salvation Army, or even a school or public library, and see if they're in need of a TV.

Offer advice with love. They should do what they feel is best. If you're close with them, I'm sure they'll consider your opinion, but please don't try to sway them one way or another; this is their child. If you feel their decisions are morally wrong, voice your opinion, but don't force them.

If they're very upset and you don't think humor would be appropriate, text them to ask if they want to talk about the problem, and offer genuine support by saying things like, “I'm so sorry that happened to you,” or, “I'm here for you.” Remind the person of the things you love about them, and invite them to hang out ...

Validate their sadness, send them a funny gif or a funny picture of yourself or another thing that is funny. Ask them what has made them sad, a lot of times just being there to listen and not try to fix why they feel this way helps. Hope these suggestions help.

I agree with /u/1leggeddog. This is the best way to express your condolences in my experience. If you know the person well enough - just do shit for them without them having to ask. Cook, drop by with drinks or to take a walk.
