Mind / Emotions

Deep loss of hope and of joyful anticipation.  Life holds no more promises; in case of approaching death, the beyond appears uncertain and vague.  Loss of faith in higher providence.
Resignation and suicidal ideation. Internal standstill of emotions and lack of incentive; sadness.
Lack of conveyed enthusiasm, lack of effort in endeavors, due to negative expectancy. In illness, patient may go along with different treatment approaches to appease loved ones, despite inner hopelessness. After an initial turmoil of emotions, as occurs in situations of great severity, one now becomes calmer, as inevitability of events is accepted.  As people make suggestions for improvement, one might go along with them, knowing full well that there is no way out.  Although one may appear calm, there is also underlying sadness and a sense of misfortune and suffering.
In cases of true hopelessness, such as terminal illness, Gorse will help to raise spirits while in the here and now and give a new, inspiring outlook into the beyond.  The certainty grows that all will be well and one is taken care of.  The Gorse state is not confined to sickness but can be experienced during various situations of life, in business and family life, whenever a situation seems hopeless and one succumbs to it.
