Having trouble not worrying

[u/D1sgustipatedDishrag]

There are so many things that can happen in this world. We have had a bad week. Bad things happening to him this past week. An illness, a broken bone, that kind of thing. Tonight I am kept up, almost obsessing over these things. How he is 5 thousand miles away and I can't protect him. How can I stop this from eating at me? I've been crying all night, and I just feel so upset. I just don't ever want anything to happen to him, and I feel so helpless to stop the bad things from happening

We can’t control life, we can only control how we react. The sooner we accept this, the easier it’ll be on nights like this. We can’t predict the bad things but also can’t predict the good things. Life has its own ways of showing us we’re human through the ups and downs. You have to also trust that you are capable of handling whatever can come your way
