My philosophy is to always choose hope when the alternative is hopelessness.

If you have difficulty understanding a purpose for hope after loss, you are not alone. Consider that through hope, you can find paths to peace and healing in your life, and perhaps the lives of others.

How will you continue forward with your own life after the loss of a loved one? It can seem quite impossible, but somehow we make our way wearily through the days, weeks, months and beyond. And hope can help us to live a life that honors the legacy of loved ones and would make them proud.

There is very often an ongoing flurry of questions in our minds and hearts about the purpose of life and death after a devastating loss. Hope can be the catalyst for spiritual growth that that gives more purpose and meaning to life and its challenges and hardships.
