Meaning of "to be hurting" [closed]
To be hurting can mean, of course, the literal definition, which is experiencing physical or mental pain or suffering (TheFreeDictionary).
Informally, it can mean some kind of distress, especially financial, but not necessarily literal pain or suffering. For example:

Also informally, it can mean some kind of desire or wanting. For example:
