Hope isn't wishful thinking, and it doesn't ask you to pretend a loss didn't happen. The last movement is about waiting, about light that keeps shining in the dark, and about a God who came close instead of watching from far away.
It ends with a blessing to carry with you, spoken while you're still on the road rather than saved for the finish.
From the devotionals
In the small hours, you are not keeping watch alone.
Day 355
On a rocking day, the rope is still fastened at the other end.
Day 348
His face is already turned toward you, here at the start of the road.
