[quote=Anonymous]Your fear is not based on fantasy.  It has actually some grounding in reality. This has become a very unsafe country and if you have something to lose, you will live in fear. 
Use this fear to make better decisions.  All the posters have given good advice.  Once my oldest turned 18, I became slightly more relaxed because I thought that she could take care of her siblings if something happens.

- Will, Life Insurance, etc. Enough money so that kids can go to college, house is paid off and that they don't have to work for some years.  (2-3 million)
- Take preventative steps - flu vaccines, well visits, wearing seatbelts, smoke alarms, home security, mammograms, cardiac checkups
- Create a document and share with kids on steps to take if something bad happens to you.  Give them adulting skills. 
- Anxiety meds, lots of exercise and eating healthy foods
- No smoking, drugs, drinking, gambling
- Stay away from people, family, locations, lifestyles that are dangerous or risky. 
- Work on your marriage because no one will take better care of your kids than your spouse.  [/quote]
