It is the flower for people who have reached the limit of endurance, who have explored all alternatives without finding a solution to their difficulties. They believe that there is nothing left but desolation and emptiness.

While people in the Gorse state have fallen into a state of hopelessness when there are still possible solutions. The person in the Sweet Chestnut state is truly at the end of the road, their despair is awful and final.

The flower helps people in this extreme state to remain owners of their lives and to renew their hope and strength. A solution can be found even at this desperate stage of life.
