Indirik has the right of it. Regardless of circumstance, try to draw as many positives as you can. If you can't, then try to roleplay your character. By that, I mean try to survive, like normal human beings. Losing everything can be some of the most fun you've ever had as a player because it forces everyone into action. Ever want to sculpt a nation? Did you already just sculpt one? Sculpt another! Sculpting all around! Have my hammer and chisel if you'd like! Sculpt yourself, sculpt your characters, resculpt your characters... man, I sure like sculpting.
