We talk about hope as a communal discipline, the dangers on both sides—despair and false hope—how doctors actually handle prognoses, why imagination relates to hope, and whether “AI grief avatars” help or harm. Along the way: Aquinas, Augustine, and Howard E. Butt Jr. advising us to stay “steady in the saddle.”  NOTES: Hope You’re Well! No, But Really. - Echoes Magazine Lydia S.
