When faced with our own illness or the illness of others dear to us, how can we keep the flame of hope burning, no matter what? How can we develop and maintain a positive attitude and keep hope alive when confronted by suffering?

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.

– Emily Dickinson
