Shortly after sending his final letter to his parents, Glimmer of Hope was found dead is his apartment from magically induced heart failure. It was determined to be suicide. The loss of his wife and daughter was too much for him, and he lost hope.
As for why his parents never wrote back or replied to any of his messages. The were killed in a car crash hours after he entered the portal to Equestria.
Try to remember, as long as you keep hope in your heart and in your spirit, life will go on, But if you lose what hope you have, Life wouldn't be worth living. So as long as you have a "Glimmer of Hope" Then you will live forever.
Alrighty, the grammar nazi has arrived

Now, the style in which you're writing is simple, it's great, but you could go more in depth when it comes to feelings. It would be great if we really see him pouring out his heart into these letters, and shouldn't he become even a little bit angry with his parents? Just a small letter written in caps-lock would do just fine but in the next letter he would apologize and so on...
BUT, this is not a bad story. I did enjoy reading it and the plainness of the letters allowed me to imagine all the possible feelings he must feel, although he might not want to put these into print.
Just try to put yourself more into his shoes and get the feels across
I hope I didn't upset you, I didn't mean to be harsh (if I was)
Take a cookie as my condolences

Well, I consider the general lack of grammar to be understandable. (these are letters after all)
And take into consideration that I haphazardly threw this together without consideration for a lot of that stuff. (these are letters after all)
And you didn't hurt my feeling in anyway. I'm just glad you took the time.
Also, I accept the cookie.
