My wife is a nurse and of late I'm having issues coping with the thought that she might not come home. Particularly if she is a bit later back than expected.

She had a cardiomyopathy a few years ago and that condition is well managed and she's doing well.

Things are challenging at the hospital at the moment (same the world over, here in the UK where they have a surge of covid patients) so I want to try and manage my own shit as much possible. I don't want to be controlling and have her send texts if she is working late or swinging by the shop afterwards.

Was wondering if anyone with more experience of this kind of feeling had some coping mechanisms they would share? Want to keep it together and not have the kids worry too.
