Anxiety about DH and parents health and wellbeing… how can I chill?

That’s it really

TTC and I’m so worried something will happen to DH before we get pregnant.

My mum was in a small car accident (no injuries) about 6 months ago that was deemed to be her fault and I now intensely worry whenever I know she’s got to get on the motorway to go somewhere.

My anxiety mainly centres around those I love driving. Weirdly I don’t get anxious about myself doing these things particularly.

I feel as though health wise my family have all been quite lucky, touch wood. Friends and colleagues have recently had family members diagnosed with horrid illnesses. I half feel like we are overdue something like this even though that’s obviously not the way the world works.

I know it’s illogical and silly but how do I put it out of mind? Please be kind as it’s not a nice way to feel!

I wondered about talking therapies but NHS waiting lists are years long and I don’t really have the disposable funds for private. So anything that’s not this would be great
