I would suggest that it’s not really a silver lining and the idea that others are facing even more challenging times is irrelevant.
When you are down or struggling that is real and at times overwhelming. What is true is that there is always hope and although it may feel like there is not, there is always help.
Most challenging times bring out strengths you may not realize you have and improve your ability to be patient (often what “silver lining” is referring to). Unfortunately many people face times so deep and dark that it feels hopeless and help is required.
