Right now it seems practically everyone that is near and dear to me is going through some major trouble, either sickness,loss of loved one or serious money trouble. My life is good and I am happy in my life, but it is wearing me out to see those I care about hurt. What do you do? I pray and that helps but whatelse can I do?

Be there for them when they need to talk about their issues and when you have had all you can take - do something for yourself like a bubble bath, gardening or go for a walk. Something YOU enjoy - to take your mind off their problems.
BTW. Do not feel bad if you have to tell them you can not take any more right now.

If you cannot be happy when you say you are happy and other people are not, how can you be happy when other people are happy?
True happiness comes only from within, not from being around other happy people or doing only things that make you happy or avoiding any and all suffering or people that suffer.
True happiness, once achieved, is unconditional, just like true love.
Since only God can give us true love, only He can give us true happiness as well, and you will always find happiness when you make your best effort to do His will.

Stop being so emo. Grow up and accept that you can't help everyone. Pain is a part of life,but it is theirs and not yours. Revel in it while it lasts :P
"That which does not kill you, makes you stronger"
and that stuff.

the best thing you can possibly do for them is be there for them when they need you. offer them words of comfort and see what you can do to make them feel better.

When we don't go with the flow we experience "this really sucks, I'm suffering"...
therefore, accept the negative, and it changes.

Sometimes life sucks. There is nothing you can do about it.
