No matter how dire the circumstances may be (brutal facts), there is always hope. Always. The tomb is empty. Our salvation has been won. We will rise with Jesus on the Last Day. That is the kind of hope that withstands even the most dire circumstance and brutal despair.
Face the brutal facts - whatever they may be in your life; and
Hold onto hope - in Jesus' help here and now and in his salvation in the life of the world to come.
