I have no words to offer which may comfort the reader who is also a castaway, except that rescue may come at any time but not necessarily when you expect it;
and that even if you give up hope, you must never give up trying, for, as the result of your efforts, hope may well return and with justification

We Grow Accustomed to the Dark
The Bravest — grope a little —
And sometimes hit a Tree
Directly in the Forehead —
But as they learn to see —
Either the Darkness alters —
Or something in the sight
Adjusts itself to Midnight
— Emily Dickinson
