I'm afraid I forget to save that document and now I've lost it. ~ Oh well, it can't be helped.
In this sentence, what's the meaning of the clause "it can't be helped"? I'm suspecting is just like "can't be avoided". Can you confirm it please

Question

Answer

You're right.  It means "it can't be avoided" or "there's nothing I can do about it".
