Pilot Study of Living With Hope Program

"The Living with Hope Program involves viewing a short film entitled Living with Hope, which is based on the research team's grounded theory study, and shows cases of terminally ill persons and their family members talking about how they maintain their hope. Participants then choose to begin one of three hope activities: a) Write or ask someone to help you write one or more letters to someone begin to write a letter to someone, b) Begin a Hope Collection or c) begin an About Me Collection."

Participants will view the Living with Hope film which is based on the research team's grounded theory study, and shows cases of terminally ill persons and their family members talking about how they maintain their hope.
