Why does the author repeat “That even as we…” three times? What does it do for the text?

Question

That even as we grieved, we grew

That even as we hurt, we hoped

That even as we tired, we tried

These lines acknowledge the pain that most Americans feel about their fractured society. The repetition always ends with hope.
