Radical acceptance

“Radical acceptance means that you have stopped fighting with reality and throwing fits about what has happened. You have decided to acknowledge and accept it instead.
Once you do this, you may feel intense sadness because you have now given up on all hope of a better past or a better outcome currently. At the same time, you may also feel great relief because, now, you can finally let go of the fight over what should have been and deal more effectively with what’s in front of you as it is.”
