  The deeper darkness,
  that smear you only just see out of the corner of your mind’s eye as 
  you contemplate ending it all,
  that not-so-much-no-go area
  as a darkness-he’s-gone-further-into-than-anyone-else,
  
  is where Christ is.
  
   
  Hope in Dark Places explores the depths of depression through the poetry of David Grieve. You will be moved to tears and laugh unexpectedly. You will feel the raw reality of suffering and feel Christ’s presence in its midst.
