You need to read the several posts between myself and Andrew last night for context. Yes, shouting “deal with it” at someone across a table would be unpleasant, but in its correct sense, dealing with something is sound advice to the alternative, which in this case is hanging on to every futile hope that “it” isn’t going to happen.
We are leaving, and the sooner everyone deals with it, i.e. accepts what’s happening, stops deceiving themselves that it can be halted and starts looking for ways to accommodate this new truth in their lives, the (relatively) happier they will be.
