I would extend that to relatives and friends as well… when we get together during the holidays, especially, it’s best to keep the worries in the car. Sharing them with others may seem like a good stress reliever, but like you mentioned, worries tend to feed on one another.

We can ‘bear one anothers burdens’ by offering support and love, but sitting around feeding worry with worry will leave us all more stressed in the end.

Excellent post!
