I do worry and I would worry if that was the case, I’m not saying I don’t worry at all or that the emotion doesn’t cross my mind. I’m saying that I don’t see how people can be worried about everything, even the smallest of details all the time since they have worried for so long that it feels weird not to be worried.

Also, if a family member had a disease that I couldn’t do anything about, I would worry, a lot. But then I’d have to accept in the end that I can’t do anything about it and let whatever has to happen, happen even if there is nothing to be done. This isn’t me giving up on them, this is me putting my energy to better use and to do my best to make their time with the disease a little better. If I am covered with worry all the time, all of that would pass onto the family member and make their time with the disease that much worse.
