"You have no effing choice!" I want a t-shirt with a picture of a man/walrus on the front of it. I can still hear him saying this to his client, telling him to take the deal, it was the best he could get.

At the beginning, at that moment, it was hard to see the end. The future was terrifying, but now far enough into the future, I see that he was right. You have to go forward. Things will get better.
