This might be obvious, but it's helped me to remember that the point of terrorism is... to inspire terror. This is what they're doing. They want you to give up. They want you to be depressed.

A true side note: Prince cared deeply about food insecurity, and would routinely make substantial donations to local food banks and community kitchens in every town that he would play in during his later tours. Sometimes they would ask for supplies & his team would show up with huge amounts of food.
