Open question, MH
I don't know. I cope by blocking myself off of the world as much as I can. I don't look that far ahead--I've been on personal-survival-mode for too long, which means, honestly, planning for the future is a foreign skill.
I take what hope I can in those around me and those I love, to band together regardless of what affects us in the greater world.
I only really have a vague hope that the swing toward the better will continue, despite the reverse currently.
