She is probably going through the empty nest syndrome. You have to understand for all those years of her life her main priority was to take care of the children and make sure that they were safe. That is a big responsibility to just "let go." She feels needed as long as she is able to worry about their well-being. What you need to do is help her focus that attention on you and her. Take her on small vacations, get her a gift certificate to the salon, do things for just you and her. Also if it helps have the grown children call her often enough to include her in their lives but not too often that it remains her main focus. You are going to have to help her remember how to live life for herself again, it's been along time since she has had only herself to think of.

Well, Moms will always worry, but this might be a good opportunity for her to get out and do something she enjoys. Support her is she wants to get out and take an art class, or join a gym. Maybe she might want to volunteer somewhere. Her life has been nothing but caring for her children, you cant just turn that off. My mom worries about my brother and I, and we are 30 and 27. :)

Unfortunatly, there is really nothing you can do besides trying to distract her. Mothers always worry about thier children, regardless of their age. Try giving her something else to think about...start a hobby together, go out more often, etc.

You can't. Just because they're adults doesn't mean that parents stop being concerned about their children.
