Yesterday, in severe clear VMC (with summer haze keeping the
visibility down to a mere 50 miles or so) on an IFR flight. My wife
says "there's traffic right ahead of us, just a little bit below
us!" [...] Any suggestions how to reassure her?

Even though it's imperfect, my passengers seem to find great comfort
in the on-board traffic sensor display. Its little brother (Avidyne
TAS600) is only about 10 AMU now (using existing MFD/GPS as a
display).
