I believe anyone can have the faith that things will prevail for them. Take the example of Eowyn on the battlefield beside her dying uncle. She was hoping with all her might that he would pull through, even though a wee voice in her heart was saying that he wouldn't. Her hope was crushed when Theoden died in her arms. If I may, Eowyn was experiencing 'Estel' on the battlefield while Theoden was wounded, but it was ultimately ended when the last of his life ebbed away. In my theory Estel can, if rarely, be proven wrong.
