Hi
I am afraid of going there.

I was afraid that he would take her away from me. ( I am not sure about this)

"I am afraid of going there."

"I was afraid that he would take her away from me."

These sentences are correct.

Correction: This was meant to be a response to the OP. englishhobby's sentences are also correct.

I think you can easily say

I am afraid to go/I am afraid of going.

Here's a link which may help you out.

Hope it works for you.

They're both fine. Often, in the 2nd one, the 'that' is omitted - which is fine too,

Many thanks , now I'll be more confident as to the use of these structures with "to be afraid".))
