It is true that people generally have two types of hope: Hope-immanent and Hope-transcendent. While Hope-Immanent is focused on this life even if it is being optimistic about the future, Hope-Transcendent is about life after death. It consists in the recognition of the transience of this life, together with the hopeful acceptance of life after death. His research findings suggest that people who have high level of both types of hope enjoy better health and well-being even in this life. And my suggestion is that hope-transcendent has the capacity to feed the hope-immanent - our belief in life after death provides meaning and purpose to our present life.
