The need to remain positive

[thirdistheonewiththehairychest]

Hello! I have been referred for an urgent ENT appointment at their suspected cancer clinic and I'm really struggling with how badly my husband is taking it.
He wants to tell lots of people so they can pray for me (we are Christians) and keeps on telling me how worried he is, asking me how I'm feeling about it all etc.
I'm very much of the opinion that worrying about it won't help, I don't want our kids to pick up on anything and I need to stay positive for my own sanity. I'm also desperately juggling lots of other things (e.g. trying to prevent the family business from running out of cash).
I realise this is hard for him too, but how do I get him to chill out about it?

You can't control how he feels. You can ask him to respect your wishes on this. He can still ask people to pray for you, they don't need to know why. That's the great thing about God. Do state your boundaries clearly. Don't tell anyone until I ask you to, please only ask me if I am ok once a day as it stresses me out and isn't helpful. Please do help me with the business. That would be most useful for me at the moment.
