Hi everyone,
Does this mean indifference?
ظلت عامين في كرب عظيم بدا واضحا من هزالها وعينيها الغائرتين في السواد وقلة حيلتها إزاء
الحياة.
So her indifference to life? It's talking about a woman who lost her child.
Thank you.

تعريف الحيلة فى قاموس المعانى = الحِذْقُ، وجَودةُ النظر، والقُدرةُ على دقَّة التصرف في الأُمور.
قلة الحيلة تعنى عكس ذلك كله وهو العجز عن التصرف فى الأمور وقلة القدرة

Arabic term (edited):
قلة حليتها
her powerlessness
Powerlessness
n. a state in which individuals either lack or believe that they lack control or influence over factors or events that affect their health (mental or physical), personal lives, or the society in which they live.
I think that this translation suits the context well, as she could not do anything to change her life
