It's certain that nearly everyone is anxious about finances right now, so the writer is not alone.
Writer, I hope this is encouraging: your husband in buying CDs gets a promise of earning a certain rate of interest for a certain period of time. You, in buying stocks, own parts of companies. There are people in those companies working to make their product or service better so their stocks will go up. You own just as many shares as before, they are just worth somewhat less on the "market" right now. But I agree with the other commentor who said that your losses are just on paper. Try to keep that in mind, and all the best to you both.
