Let Hope Live!

Posted on March 23, 2026 by Cathy Burnham Martin

We all have days when we’ve simply “had enough.” No matter how resilient we may seem, regardless of the happy face we may put forward each day, despite how perfect our lives may appear to others, there are times when reality chokes hope in even the most positive thinking among us. The depths of our despair can feel like an Edgar Allen Poe bottomless pit. Our hearts can weigh mercilessly heavy, laden with unspoken burdens and loneliness. Have faith. Believe. Do what we must do. Wipe away the silent tears. Put one foot in front of the other, recognizing this is the way forward. Remember that light will follow the dark. We are never alone.
