I think about my family dying all the time. But it's not like I want to kill them or wish them to die, i just think about what I would do if they ever died. My family is the most important thing to me, especially my grandmother, and I think I would probably die 2 if my family did. I know thinking this isn't healthy but I honestly can't help it. Just the thought of losing them rattles me to the bone. I have actually lost sleep over thinking about this. So am I doomed for the looney bin or has anyone else thought about this?

    Its perfectly normal to think about it. If it gets to the point of interfering with your daily living then you should probably talk to someone about it. Nothing wrong with it. You're never alone in this world. Other people have shared your thoughts no matter what they are.

    I feel for ya. Try to see it this way...you family lives on in
    it's genes, will be passed on for as long as you have descendants. People may dies but their legacies remain.

    I don't really have any advice, but I completely understand how you feel. I think about things like that all the time. My parents are in their mid 50s and I always worry about what's going to happen to me after they pass away. We are really close to each other, so sometimes I worry that when they die, I'll be so overwhelmed with grief that it will literally drive me insane. To a lesser extent I also worry about my cat dying. She's 10 years old, so she's getting up there in cat years. She and I are very attached to each other and I know my heart will be broken when she dies (though obviously less so compared to when my parents die).
