Hope and despair can exist at the same time.

Hope can express desire rather than future knowledge. Despair determines no fate. Their possible coexistence is not prescribed to everybody. Present care need replace no loved one with a new attachment and requires no compulsory cheerfulness.

Questions explored

Must everybody experience both feelings?

No. This possible combination is neither an appointed rhythm nor a test of authentic attachment.

Do hope and despair determine fate?

No. A desired outcome and difficult condition replace no verified information.

Does care require attachment replaced and optimism first?

No. Present needs have their own subject without that price; a project and new life need not substitute for the person missing.

Does another difficult day cancel an earlier contribution?

Not automatically. One moment assesses no entire actual support; a current question can remain distinct.
