This is a genuine question.

There is an ongoing situation in my life which isn't going to change and there's nothing I can do beyond what I'm doing already. Acceptance seems to be the only way forward but the problem with that is the situation isn't really acceptable and there's so much pain over what could have been.

So do I just accept the pain/grief will always be there. I think the hardest part is knowing things could get even worse from how they already are and it's like living a kind of trauma that I can't escape from.

I know people live with all sorts of traumas and terrible situations and I don't know how they do. Do they just stay in the moment, or keep the faith that there's something better than this life?

Sorry this is rather bleak. I posted here because I guess I am looking for healing in some form but I can't begin to know what that looks like because it feels like there is no healing to be found.
