When they come in, challenge them as unreal. No one can read your thoughts, and your children are safe. I'm dealing with anxiety about my son too; now that I lost my husband I feel anything is possible. I'm most afraid that he will get into drugs and die exactly how his father did. But every time I think that, I just shrug my shoulders and say what will be will be. I can't control the future. I can only hope that everything works out but if it doesn't I know I'm strong enough to handle it. And you are too. You're strong enough to handle this. They are just thoughts.

I wish you peace! Know that I love you and I'm thinking of you.
Thanks love. I will consider it. My therapist is very trusting and forgiving so it isn't entirely out of the question.

I can only imagine the fear you have towards your son after such a devastating loss. I hope time and your wonderful outlook will make it easier. Love you too!
