Is sometimes nessisary, although I have felt this as intensly as you do. I cant say why, as some things are beond me, too, but it usually IS in our best interest. While we do have some control, we are not meant to control everything. It is times like these that helps to keep one humble, rather than getting a huge ego on a power trip.
It is hard to say "I can not do anything about ____" or " I am powerless over ___" a situation. fill it in with whatever is appropriate for you.
FOr instance, back while 911 was happening, no matter what I did, I could NOT stop it! Felt so powrless and utterly useless! BUT, it was a situtation beond my control. Yet, I picked myself up, and did what I could at the time to reach out and help others get through the tragidy. No matter how I felt, there were MILLIONS of people suffering more than I. They needed positive energies and healing...and that was something I could contribue to them/the universe.
Maybe not all the seemingly "hopeless" situations are as tragic as that day....but they do create the same sence of hopelessness, loss, and devistation.
One of the ways of dealing with it is to ask yourself what CAN you do? Make a list! You can take care of yourself, you can help others who are near to you....what else is there? You know this answer for yourself better than I do! Remeber sometimes, there are things/people that we need to let go of to move on, even feeling the loss. (and loss does not always mean a death, dear one!)
