LauraThis is something that I too have worried about. That word "pandemic" is so scary. Why does the media love to scare everyone? I would just love once for there to be a news broadcast that actually has a fifteen minute segment of just plain ole good news. I know I would watch it.
I guess this goes along the same lines as any other thing. It is pretty much out of our control. And feeling that it is out of our control is a scary thing to live with too. But I think how I handle it is to just put all my faith in God. It is my only coping method. It is all in His hands anyway. I have done that since the one day I couldn’t stop breaking down into melt downs every time my daughter got sick. I had to dig deep but I found it. It is called faith. I pray and then hand all my worries over to God. That is all I can do from where I stand. I make sure my daughter’s meds. are taken, her checkups are met, and I try and keep her as germ free as I can. After that it is all out of my hands. Pray and then, let go let God.
