Here’s a song that has given me much hope over the years...especially when things seem like a constant struggle and that maybe they’ll never change. To me, the title, “The Darkest Hour is Just Before Dawn” is true of many things in life and especially of this disease. I have made multiple steps toward getting well, but with every single move forward, there’s been a bad patch before getting better. I’ve learned (almost) not to let this discourage me too much because it’s true... the darkest hours are just before dawn.
It helps me to hear this gentle reminder in a song from the hymn books of my youth and performed by one of my all time favorite singers...and I hope it helps you too.
