deal with all the inevitable disappointments/delusions

My comment:

raccogliere here seems to refer to this, rather than the literal meaning; collect, pick up, but here maybe in the sense of "pick up the pieces"
Even Immancabile which should mean infallible, certain, unfailing(my dictionary, an old but very good one gives it like this), but google gives a better term here-inevitable
delusions and disappointments both fit according to the context you gave but prefer delusions probably
