How wonderful that you have such a therapist! Yes, it would be nice to know what triggers us to fear and anxiety, when we know on the surface it isn't rational. My husband lost his first wife when he was away. He has an unnatural fear when we are separated that probably goes back to her. So I dutifully call him and let him know if I am driving somewhere separate from him, when I arrive, etc. And I call him before I get in the car to come home. And mid-way, if it's a long trip. He really appreciates this; it is comforting, I guess, to know I am OK.

It is nice that you are a caring person too! Hope you can allay your fears while she is gone. If not, write in again and we'll send soothing, supportive thoughts your way!
