I am so very sorry, sociopathbg. I have the same terrible fear. I am paralyzed with terror of losing loved ones, both people and pets. It is wrecking my life...I am in a constant state of fear about this. I actually have lost many loved ones. I need to know, too, how to cope. All I can suggest is to have faith in creation, the universe, God...Whatever you call it.

If anyone else here has any suggestions, I would be grateful to hear them.
