VIGILIA

Afraid for Someone You Love

The fear is not about you. It is about a son, a daughter, a grandchild — someone you cannot reach and cannot help from here.

What is usually behind it

  • Distance: the people most prayed for are usually the ones furthest away
  • Watching someone make choices you can see the end of and cannot say anything about
  • Illness in someone else, which is heavier to carry than your own
  • Having no task — fear with nothing to do is the hardest kind to hold

These are common states, not a diagnosis. If something here is affecting your health, your sleep or your safety, please speak to a doctor or a qualified professional where you live.
