“The anticipation of loss is much more frightening than the actual loss as anticipation leaves room for the imagination to create that which, in all likelihood, will never transpire.”

Meaning

This reads as a comment on how fear grows in the mind before anything has actually happened. The real pain may be smaller than the imagined version, because expectation gives anxiety space to invent details. It lands in moments of waiting for bad news, when the unknown feels heavier than the outcome itself.
