Joe,
Thank you so much, I really needed this today. I loved the PDF titled, "You have the right to be hopeful". I am tired of hearing people use the term "false" hope. No one knows how important hope is until they are truly faced with their own mortality. People try to imagine but, thankfully, for them they can not get the full intensity of emotion unless faced with it. They can not imagine and do not know how they would feel or react. Scan time brings this up over and over for mets girls and others I imagine. This article fully outlines the evolving meaning of hope and why we have a Right to be hopeful.
I really needed this today, thank you!
