From serious illness to natural disasters, humans turn to
communication as a major source of strength to help us bounce back
and to keep growing and thriving. Communicating Hope and Resilience
Across the Lifespan addresses the various ways in which
communication plays an important role in fostering hope and
resilience. Adopting a lifespan approach and offering a new
framework to expand our understanding of the concepts of "hope" and
"resilience" from a communication perspective, contributors
highlight the variety of "stressors" that people may encounter in
their lives. They examine connections between the cognitive
dimensions of hope such as self-worth, self-efficacy, and creative
problem solving. They look at the variety of messages that can
facilitate or inhibit experiencing hope in relationships, groups,
and organizations. Other contributors look at how communication
that can build strengths, enhance preparation, and model successful
adaptation to change has the potential to lessen the negative
impact of stress, demonstrating resilience. As an important
counterpoint to recent work focusing on what goes wrong in
interpersonal relationships, communication that has the potential
to uplift and facilitate responses to stressful circumstances is
emphasized throughout this volume. By offering a detailed
examination of how to communicate hope and resilience, this book
presents practical lessons for individuals, marriages, families,
relationship experts, as well as a variety of other practitioners.

This is a story of what could have happend to the 39 members of
Heaven's Gate shortly after exiting their earthly vehicles and
bording a spacecraft cloaked inside the tail of the Hale-Bopp
comet. As they awaken from transport sleep, Ti welcomes them aboard
the Comet-craft Hale-Bopp. Confusion, awe, and wonder await the
crew members as they travel throughout the galaxies on their
journey to Planet Heaven and beyond. My story is a combination of
different subjects: personal, Biblical, fact, and science fiction.
A written memorial for the people of Heaven's Gate who gave up
their lives for what they believed. Before you judge them, look
inside your own heart and ask yourself this question: What would
you be willing to die for - religion, freedom, country, honor or
perhaps something else?
