Is it normal to think of loved ones dieing??

OK so i was sitting on the couch. A little stressed out. And I was thinking about how life is so repetitive and I just want to have fun and that somehow gotme thinking how can my mum and cousin do the same thing every every day and then the next thought was maybe i should save them/put them out of their misery...

This entire thought process happened in about a a milisecond. It happened so fast I am not sure about the sequence of thoguths that lead to that thought...but that thought stood out and SCARED me.

Love my mum and cousin mean the world to me. I love them both dearrrrlyyyyy. This really bothered me. Now I am trying to "retrace" my thoughts to find out how I came to think that...really bothers me and disturbed me and I know i could never do anything like that but that my brain "went there" bothers me a lot. And I have no idea how it got there. Trying to "figure" it out and analyze it etc etc. but the thought happened so quick I can't pin point exactly what lead up to it.

    It's very normal. Since you care about them so much you don't want to see them in pain or in misery. So yeah normal

    It's completely normal to have thoughts that scare or embarrass you sometimes. Thankfully, most of those thoughts remains just in our heads and nobody ever has to know about them. The problem is, it sounds like you're beginning to consider yourself a "bad person" for having thought such a thing. The truth is, we all have scary, morbid, or disturbing thoughts at some point in our lives. If it becomes all you can think about or more frequent than you'd like, you should talk to someone. Therapists are professionals. They've heard/seen it all and are paid to help you, not judge you.

    It's clear you love your family and would never want anything to happen to them. Don't beat yourself up.
