I am very anxious about loved ones with COVID right now and finances this close to the Holidays
Having to have a certain number of messages back and forth, it seemed like we were waiting just to finish.
Less time constraints, make it flow easier.
Nothing specific

I can see why you feel anxious, I would be too given the situation. When did your mother in law got sick with COVID?

Reflection of feelings,Question
Yeah, it's just really stressful and I am over anxious about it. Right before Thanksgiving, she is elderly and has cancer, she is finally feeling better though.

Cancer is already a hard enough disease to fight against. My aunt is a cancer survivor. I am sure your mother can make it too.

From my knowledge, people usually recover from COVID after 2 to 3 weeks, you might consider having a doctor see your mother if she is still struggling.

Providing Suggestions
Yeah, she went again the other day. She is doing quite a bit better. He said because of underlying conditions it may take her longer, but she is doing great. That was encouraging.

There are substantially more people recovering from covid each day despite the number of infected growing exponentially. I am sure that, with the proper care, your mother in law will make it, and so will your husband. I am sure he will be able to find a new job soon as new business start to open, even if it's a temporary one.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I know you're right. I just haven't felt really in the Christmas spirit this year and I am anxious about everything I can't control. He did have an interview today too, so that is good news.

It really did help. Just talking and saying it out loud (or online) helped. Feeling heard helped.

And I am glad you are someone easy to talk to! Some of my patients do not argument at all and expect me to end the conversation when I, as a therapist, have to make sure they are good to go! Helping you has been a pleasure!
