Hope Precedes the Fall

**Hope precedes the fall.** *“Pride comes before the fall,”* as the saying goes. In this reflective portrait, it is hope that precedes the fall. The hope for a healthy mother-child relationship. And the self-chosen fall, like tumbling from a willingness to recognize that this contact will never be. Hope can help you stay upright, but it can also constrict and trap you. A fall sounds frightening and can at the same time bring about a transformation. It brings space and individuality and the ability to bear old grief.
