It comes in like a lullaby.

Quiet at first but so melodical that you recognize it.

It calms you down and it gets you through another day.

It almost feels like it is coming from really far away, from a different place.

Outside of earth.

I am talking about Hope.

The most precious feeling especially for those of us who have been struck by loss.

For every person who feels the burden of grief.

For every kid, adult, mother, father, sister, brother, friend.

For everyone who has lost the sound of the lullaby.

I am here to tell you that it is still with you.

Hope is a part of our hardest days.

Even when nothing is left, and we feel like we have no more guts, courage or even strength to keep going we find Hope still there.

I think God is Hope. 

I think the Universe is Hope. 

I think knowing where we come from and where we are heading is Hope. 

Knowing what we are made of is Hope. 

And you are made of something divine. (Click Here to Tweet!)

Something so intelligent.

Hope is part of that intelligence and outwardly experience.

If you are having a hard day, week, month, year I am going to ask you to remember that we were made to feel hope in our darkest moments.

We hear the lullaby in the dark.

On the ground.

With nobody there to take care of us. With no money. No plan B.

That is when Hope will come and play her melody.

Only then.

And when Hope isn’t there anymore, it means that whatever is taking place we are able to get ourselves through.

I just wanted to write about Hope today, it’s September.

It’s a busy time. It’s the fall.

It’s a lot of things.

I know you may be on your knees.

And I hope this letter finds you when you need it the most.

With so much hope for every dark moment,

Christina

    Thank you for loving your community of followers so much!
    Your heart is so beautiful and I am so glad I found your insta a few years ago.
    My daughter would be turning 22 coming up on October 4th. I’m having some dark moments. She’s been gone almost 5 years… my heart aches harder each day or birthday and holiday and moments that pass without her here… I hear HOPE. Some moments it’s really hard, I wanna hear the roar of HOPE!
    Be held in HOPE’s arms and comforted.
    Thank you for just always understanding. Just your words help soothe my soul. Hank you and you are definitely a Rarth Angel to me!

    Thank you for this.. my mother passed away this last December and I subsequently filed for divorce after 20 years being married to a narcissist that has been the most painful a dark time of my life it’s the time I actually need my mother the most and I know she’s here in spirit and I know that she protects me and walks with me daily but the grief is so compounded at times .. I just realized your blog though I have been following you on Instagram for quite some time now I just wanted to reach out and say thank you my very broken heart and a very wounded soul but your words are helping me ????
