    @saltnburnem My initial reaction was "carve off anything I can understand, explain, or control" but I guess that's more of how I _cope_ with it. I think you might mean "how do you keep yourself from staring into the abyss and ruminating on all the parts you can't carve off"?

      @saltnburnem And to that my answer is...I guess another answer about coping -- distract my brain with things that I can understand, explain, or control so that I don't have time to think about the parts I can't. But I don't know what to say about when the distractions don't work?
