You cannot make the possibility of bad things happening go away by worrying about them. Facing fantasy projections does not prepare you or help should such unfortunate events come to pass. You cannot control a future in which you may not be alive by living in a state of anxiety in the present. There is also the very real danger of adversely affecting the time you do have with your family by worrying about a possible projected future. It is sharing and enjoying being with your family in each and every moment of your life that is important. It is who you are for them and who you enable them to be by your presence and influence in their lives that will make the greatest difference.
