Colleen,
When my husband was ill, I had to go to the store to buy bagels one morning. I can't remember what was happening at the time, but as I was waiting in line I started to cry. I could barely choke out my order to the guy at the counter. When he handed a sobbing me the box of bagels he said, "Have a great day!" I interpreted that to mean, I hope your day gets better.
Forget about the tears. You have right to be worried. Sending strength your way ~~~~~
