fatalistically
With resigned acceptance
In a manner accepting that events are predetermined and inevitable, without attempting to change or resist them.
Someone who reacts fatalistically to bad news shrugs rather than fights: He fatalistically accepted that the project would fail.
The word often carries a note of passive resignation.
