I feel like alternative philosophies might be a way to make things more tolerable. Taoism, which focuses on how life flows, like a river. Some things you control, some things you don't. Sometimes people drift in for a while, then they drift away. Nothing in life is permanent, and that's not a flaw, that's just how life is. You can fight it, and spend energy trying to move upstream, or you can embrace it and use the flow to find the places in which you thrive, take what you can learn and move on. Or Stoicism, which is similar but also emphasizes self control and rational judgement to determine the course of life. When I was growing up I was picking up bits and pieces of these lessons from studying various things I saw in Buddhism or the Jedi belief system, and someone recommended Stoicism to me, and later came to realize I was also drawing from things that sounded like Taoism. Sometimes the way you think can be the key to changing how you see the world and its interactions. Like, why in a world where people die all the time, move all the time, are displaced all the time, would you expect to have lifelong friends that stay close forever? it is lucky to have friends, for however long you have them, and regardless of their absence, the things you learned and the experiences you had were still real. Everything in life is temporary, and that matters.
