Dean can still hope that if he keeps working hard, things will work out. What he wants is his family safe and together, everything is focused on that.
That's what breaks my heart about Dean - he feels like, if something bad happens, it's because he either did something or didn't do something or didn't do something well enough. It's why that line in WIAWSNB always gets me, "I can fix things with Sam. I can make it up to him," when none of it is even his fault. It hurts, to watch Dean try so hard to do so much when, most of the time, it isn't even his responsibility.
