¿Cómo podía permitir que se las arreglara sola?

Hola ¿cómo se lo traduciría?
¿Cómo podía permitir que se las arreglara sola?

arreglarse - to work out / come to terms

Es muy difícil traducir en el papel y no en la cabeza
Más contexto .....

¿Cómo podía permitir que se las arreglara sola, ella que era tan cariñosa, caprichosa y atolondrada?
How could it be que she had some to terms with being alone, she who was so effectionate, caprichious and wreckless.

That, in bold, means Como se le podía permitir o Como podía permitírsele...

Both cases are wrong for the phrase bob is translating.
