I found Stoicism to be helpful in such events and a good philosophy in general. For this particular application you have to accept That there are external events you can’t control but there are certain things you can do to improve the situation. So instead of focusing on the external and getting all stressed About it you think about what the best course of action is you can take to help the situation.

Sorry for my rambling I am just starting to learn the concepts myself from this book: A Guide to the good life

I agree. I recommend reading "The Daily Stoic" as a good introduction, and the format makes you think about the principles on a daily basis.

Thank you for the book tip. I will add it to my list.

Don't add it to your list, buy it and read it. Carry it with you. It helped me a lot. It's a great book because you can open it on any page and get a nugget of useful information. It starts with the title and then a quote by either Marcus Aurelius or another philosopher after which it expands on that quote with some context. There's some really good (and easily digestable) information in there. I earmark the best quotes and so far I've earmarked around 20 pages.
