Hope

17 Outstanding Quotes About Hope

Do you have hope? It’s not always easy when our kids are struggling.

We all need some kind of dream to keep us going in the darkest times.

Having hope can give us the incentive to hang on a little longer when our son or daughter’s substance use is keeping us stuck.

In addition, we need something to keep us going when we desperately want something to change. It gives us one reason to keep moving forward when the outcome is uncertain.

The definition of hope is:

  • a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen
  • a person or thing that may help or save someone
  • grounds for believing that something good may happen

We need to have faith that things can change for the better if we believe.

While you know you cannot control every aspect of the future, it is helpful to believe that your child will recover from their substance use.

You will have that chance to let go of your fear, stress, and sadness. It allows you to believe that life will get back to normal.

Here are 17 outstanding quotes that I hope will inspire you to remember that life can get better.
