Is it normal to be overprotective of my mom to this level?!

It's nice that you have such a great relationship with her. And it's normal to worry a bit, but I think you're worrying too much. Be prepared for if something happens, but keep in mind that the chances are slim.

Too much emotion; didn't read

I lost my father just over a year ago due to a heart attach, it completely turned my life upside down I have not been the same person sincem thankfully I still have my mother. Ever since passing of my mother I have been so over protective also, Im 24 and she is 57 and the thought of losing her was so unberable it made me break down. The way I see it everyone dies and everyone has to go through the process of losing parents but there there has to be an afterlife so you will see them again. My view is that you are here on this earth for just a short time so you need to cherish the good times and hold make the best of the bad. People you love will pass away but just enjoy life and live it to the full and you will see all these people again in the next, eternal life.

yes totally normal my mother died in twin towers and they found her body and my family and friends helped me pay for the best funeral ever and that day on the funeral was the first day i ever met my real father he came to the funeral and i asked who he was and he said he was my father and i uppercut him in the lip for leaving me when i was born. any ways she is probobly in her forties or somthing meaning she wont naturally die for a while but i say just stop thinking of it if its haunting you this much when she really dies you probably end up killing your self

It's normal, but it's not healthy. Tell her how you're feeling. Maybe telling her will help. We all DREAD losing our parents, but it's inevitable. We will one day lose them. Just know that it doesn't have to be now and when it does happen, she'll be ready. Be glad you have such a strong relationship with her, and stop stressing yourself out so bad. Everything dies. That doesn't mean we should live in fear.

I understand you, happened to me when I was younger. My family was poor at the time and my parents would always be out during the day looking for work (no cellphones yet). I would constantly worry that they'd died in some accident or got lost.
The worry/anxiety was so great that I felt like puking at times. I'd also cry a lot and panic, or stand for hours in the balcony looking for their car. I even called the police to my home because I was so scared.
It only lasted for a year though...but during this year, I also had other problems like stealing and constant lying. I'm not sure what triggered the change, maybe it's because I switched schools and the new environment helped me adjust? I don't know.
Hopefully you can get over it soon. Maybe with time you'll calm down but if it persists to an unhealthy level make sure you seek help. :) But know you are not alone!

I'm so sorry for your friend, that must have been horrible. I hope she has people that will be there for her.
But you aren't losing your mum. I think it is beautiful that you are so close and you are just wanting to reciprocate all the love and concern she has for you , back to her.
Alot of people seem to take their family for granted which is so sad.
try not to worry about the days you have ahead, Focus on the pressent. That way you can be "in the pressent" and enjoy each other more rather than thinking ahead and not appreciating the time you have at current.

Thanks guys, it means a lot to me <3

You're not losing your mom! She's more worried about losing you! You've survived cancer and you'll survive anything that life throws at you in the future. Enjoy your mom and stop worrying about the future coz it's spoiling the present.

Aww.

It's normal to worry everyone does it, just probably not to that degree. I think because of what you have gone through with cancer allowed you to know how precious life is. That's a good thing, but it's not good to live your life in fear. Pray about it and try to stay busy so you don't think about it as much. my wife lost her dad almost two years ago and is exactly the way you are with your mom with me.
