Somehow carry

Despair and grief are not the same: we know there is, but cannot see, and do not want, a way through grief to life; we want a way out of despair but expect none. Both lead to giving up; only from grief does giving up provide a healing way through. Despair is a loss of all hope. Grief is a heaviness, a burden we think we never could carry, but somehow do.
