Welcome Maryblondgirl!
You asked: I just can't get over the fear factor. Watch the news and it scares the crap out of me. Wonder daily...no...make that hourly....if its really winding down and about to fall into place. Anyone else share that fear? Or do you get over it eventually?
I can speak only for myself, but after living through the 1975 hysteria, ...and yes I watch and wonder about the end but not like I use to and don't worry too much about it anymore. I have heard from the time I was young it's almost here. My relatives are still all in and I am 3rd generation too along with someone of the anointed in the family.
The fear of the end is ingrained so deeply its hard to let go......but eventually you do let go.
