I add my welcome. Cynthia, I'm right there with you. I'm 45, and I have 3 and 5 year old boys. I actually almost died with my second one - I was in the hospital for about 6 weeks, on kidney dialysis and quite out of it. It took me about a year to gain normalcy from that. Then suddenly, about that same time, I started having these anxiety attacks. I have agnonized over "what if" something happened to me while they are so young. In fact, out of everything, that is my biggest source of anxiety. You are definitely not alone in this!

For me, I've had to really begin putting my boys in the good hands of God. I know that He loves them so much, even more than I do. I ask Him every day to allow me to be here with them for as long as possible. I don't know what His will is for me, but I believe that God hears that prayer. Of course, truly believing it takes time. I have to do it daily - in fact, every time anxiety hits me. I think this program covers tools in dealing with things like that too. Hang in there!! I think we will both experience changes through this.
