Field update on record delete

Records within my object can be related to one other record from the same object. When Record A gets related to Record B, I move the status of the Record A to "Consumed". If Record B gets deleted, I want to move the status of the Record A back to Open. I've tried every combination of:

AND( ISBLANK(Record Lookup), NOT(ISBLANK(PRIORVALUE(Record Lookup))) )

I can't trigger a process or a workflow to update a field value on Record A when it's lookup field to Record B gets removed.

Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, there is no point and click way to get around this limitation! The Idea that urges for this - Fire Workflow Rule on Delete DML (https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000kwwmAAA)

I can't think of anything other than an Apex Trigger at this point!
