Throughout my journey reading through scripture there are numerous individuals that we read about who have been through a significant amount of turmoil in their lives and these are the ones that we learn from the most in scripture. These are the ones that went through insurmountable grief and distress. Regardless of your faith, it may be one of the cornerstones of your life that helps you stay grounded.
Victor Frankl
Victor Frankl emphasized the importance of hope while walking through struggles as he suffered and endured Aushwitz as a prisoner during the second world war. He indicated that his friend kept on having dreams that the war would end and this provided him hope. Unfortunately the date that he kept dreaming about passed and it left this man without hope and he passed away shortly after (Frankl, 1962).
