One way or another, events take place within each one of us that may cause us to ask this one pivotal question, “Is this life worth it / am I worth it.” The world that we once knew has forever been changed and nothing looks at all familiar. But hope, hope is always there, you’ve just got to look for it. Hope can be found in the care of a family member or friend, a community organization, or a local religious institution. Hope is always there, sometimes we just need a bit of help pushing the other junk to the side to find it. Remember, “Hold On Pain Ends. Oh ya, there was a question that was asked earlier. Allow me to answer this as best as I can, “YES,” yes you and this life that we hold is always worth it.
Although all links provided, are not meant to be an exhaustive list, it is my hope that each link provided will be a starting place to find the help and hope that is needed. If you are in an emergency situation, please call 911 immediately.
Thank you,
The Hopeful 1
