Is it normal to think about death and leaving the ones you love.

I have been terrorized with thoughts of death lately. Not kill my self death, but just dying now or later... I have three small children. I am so scare to think who will take care of them if I die, and so scared of never seeing them. I do believe in God, this is not what this post is about, but I am very scared to think of the tourture and heartbreak that it will be until I see my children again, especially if I die young. I saw on the news today, a three year old killed by a drunk driver. I think oh my God, how scared that little three year old girl is right now, without her parents. It doesn't make sense to me, I don't want to die, I can't stop thinking about it. It makes me so sad and depressed and worried. I love my children so much, I don't ever want to loose them. But I think I worry so much that it makes me anxious and then I end up being a grumpy mommy and not a fun one. It is draining the live out of me, the depression. I have a special needs child, I need to live a long life to take care of him and what if I die? These things break my heart to think about know. But I have to think about that, because it could happen. What do you do to get past this?

    What you are experiencing is not uncommon for others whom have similar circumstances.
    You need a purpose, and it sounds like you have one-you have to realize it. Start living in the present for your family's sake. Trust in the Lord, and become the person you were made to be.

    You're gonna do great by the way.

    Omg,I thought it was only me that felt like that. I know exactly how you feel. I have 2 sons, since the day my oldest was born i have felt that way. I can't even watch the news, when there is a report about children losing their parents or about parents losing their children. I start panicking and things start going through my mind. Then I usually get an anxiety attack and start crying.
    I have to look at my babies and play with them to take my mind off my fears.
    Maybe it's a mama thing.....
