The end of a relationship or a career. The end of hopes and dreams. The end of meaning or purpose. Maybe the end of life for a loved one. The end of yourself. Wishful thinking and an optimistic mindset can only take you so far. The myth of progress has been shattered. And the popular notion of heaven feels far off and disconnected.
