I know it's kind of cliche, but I always send a text to let my loved ones know I'm there for them. It's quick for both of us to chat & respond, and it gives the other person the time and space needed to respond when they feel ready to do so.
Sometimes life gets busy and I do a bad job of keeping in touch with my old friends so when I think of them I’ll just send them a random text asking how life is going or just saying hi to them or I’ll send them a random meme
It feels uncomfortable sometimes to text people randomly but it always makes me happy once I do it
