For most of my life I have replied to Qs like that with pithy funny sarcastic and smart-aleck answers...
Now, I finally grasp that people may ask them just to fill the dead-air, but an honest answer will go a long way to open communications links.
If they ask "How's it going?" I would answer (recently) with, "My dad just died and we had to put both his dogs down because they had health issues that no one wanted to accept and deal with. Work is good, but I still find too few hours in the day to accomplish everything. How is your life?"
