This strikes me as the wrong framing. It's more about managing your expectations and maintaining a clear-eyed view of the way forward. Life rarely goes as planned. Three rules of thumb I try to remember in a crisis or setback are Gerald Weinberg's set of Rhonda's Revelations:
What looks like a crisis is the end of an illusion.
When change is inevitable, we struggle most to keep what we value most.
When you create an illusion to prevent or soften change, the change becomes more likely--and harder to take.
