In this deeply personal reflection, Bethany shares how grief, strained family ties, and solitude led her through a season of despair—and how faith, healing, and quiet moments of beauty began to restore her. Anchored in Psalm 22, this post reminds us that even in our darkest valleys, hope still blooms. "What Begins in Despair Ends in Hope" invites readers to walk the path from sorrow to peace, one gentle step at a time.
