When we say, "hang in there", we mean that we recognize a situation is difficult, and we want to encourage the person or people to continue, to keep going, to not give up.
Sometimes people also use it to explain that they are continuing in spite of difficulties. Here are a few examples:
You: How are you?
Your friend: Not so good. I have a huge amount of work to finish, and I think I'm getting the flu.
You: Oh no! Well, hang in there!
Bob: How's it going since you and John broke up?
Mary: Well, I'm hanging in there.
Bob: That's good. I know it's really difficult!
