"Today, this wins the internet! A heart wrenchingly beautiful story. Top marks in all departments as it ticked all the boxes for me and may well help others that may find themselves in the same situation. Well done!" - PurpleChicken.TV
"Finding Hope is a very well made and realistically acted film which touches
on the difficult issues faced by couples grieving both differently and together
following the death of a child. It is very moving and many couples who have
experienced the devastation of child bereavement will be able to relate to some
of the experiences of grieving depicted in the film."
