Worry about my mom passing
Family & Caregivers / by malkeaton

...See more I take care of my 87-y-o mother. Honestly, she's my best friend. I do get overwhelmed taking care of her, but I'm lucky that she's still pretty self-sufficient. I've never really dealt with death before. All of my close family and friends are still alive. I know death is a part of life, but I'm so scared of her dying. I see people her age passing away, and it makes my anxiety grow. My fiance, who lost his father years ago, lets me know that there is no way to prepare for it, and he tries to quell my fears. But I just think of it constantly. I just don't want her to ever die. Hopefully I still have like ten years with her, but you just never know. I don't know how to get rid of my worry and make peace with the knowledge that she won't be here forever
