Without hope you may as well lay down and stop breathing. What you hope for may change, but don't stop. Think back over your life and the things you have hoped for. Have these things changed? Probably. Did you ever truly give up hope? I don't think so.
None of us want to look like a fool in our own or anyones else's eyes. That may be a good reason not to talk about the details of the situation.
It's just a tough day. You'll get through to another good one.
