A lot of people think that how much one cares for someone can be gauged by how much they worry about them, their safety, and their happiness. We know, of course, the light beings in heaven still care for those left behind, but being in the light, do many continue to worry as well? Isn’t worry a form of fear?

You are correct in your analysis here that worry, indeed, is a form of fear, but as such it has usefulness if it helps remind people there are things undone, things in need of assistance for which one has responsibility and perhaps a duty to see to. So as with all emotions, positive and negative, there is a grand design and a place for everything when it is most needed and can be the key to a turning point to prompt making a decision for the better in some regard and taking care of business, so to speak. But beings in the light do not worry like humans do, and that is because of the purity of their existence. In fact, it is quite hard for them to worry given that they are bathed in love and living in bliss and even see your problems as quite temporary. After all, your lives are amazingly short, from their perspective, so it is a bit like watching someone at a pool dive underwater; you know their stress is increasing and sooner or later they will have to break the surface to breathe again. It is the same with an incarnation, to them it is quite brief and even if it is ghastly in the suffering underway, there will be rescue, there will be a return home in the end. This is not to say they are uncaring; it is just there is a difference in urgency and somewhat of a distancing in terms of ability and willingness to feel your pain as a struggling human. That will not be engaged in to any appreciable degree because that, too, is self-destructive and not constructive, and will not help the sufferer to have someone join the suffering. That is the difference between the light being perspective and yours as a human—people in the living cannot help but worry about themselves and their safety and security, and that of loved ones, and then from there the larger sphere of human activities underway. The reason worry is such a great preoccupation during human physical existence is that this realm you inhabit is designed to explore the negative and have an opportunity to learn from being immersed underwater, so to speak, for an extended period with accumulated stress, and that can only be mitigated through actions of your own, suffering the usual handicap of being disconnected from the divine to a large extent and not understanding your true origin or purpose. All of this is for a reason, and is the hardest thing for people to understand: "Why is the world the way it is if there is a loving God overseeing everything? Why can evil persist? Why does God tolerate the evildoer and the prolonged suffering of many seemingly innocent souls who have all kinds of intractable problems?" While to you this just seems unfair and needless in a just world, given the possibility of divine rescue through offering abundance for anything needed, we can tell you there is a grand design here underway. You are in a living laboratory to learn and grow from observing everything that happens and its consequences. You cannot truly learn about evil unless there is evil done to you so you fully understand its consequences and walk in the shoes of the tormented and the targeted. So you will all, by turns, try your hand at everything—every station in life, every travail, every setback, and every temptation as well, to see to it you are drawn into the vortex of negativity and even end up as an evildoer for a time. You see this routinely in young children who must learn to socialize to get along and must learn morality to overcome their natural selfishness when there is a strong inner imperative to have something pleasurable happen and will take something from others unless they are stopped. So you are on a long learning curve of experimenting with life. Those beings in the light are used to their existence and so do not have an interval like childhood where they are coming from behind and having to relearn everything, so things just get better, more refined, more reliable, more predictable, and more perfect. There simply is no place for negativity in the light being existence to any significant degree.
