It is something I think about a lot. How? When? Why? And what would my 6 mo old son do? It breaks my heart and leads to tears when I think of not being able to be there for him and protect him. I cant explain it. My thoughts are just very haunted with this being the last day, hour, minute of my life. Why? Am I alone in this?

You're not alone..believe me.
Try and put this out of your mind and enjoy everyday that you are with your son. Do your best to prepare for the very distant future when you are gone. Teach him right, provide financially for him.

Not really, but you're missing today obsessing about something you have no control over. As a Christian I know where I'm going, so while I don't want to die necessarily, I know God is in control and He will manage everything, including those I leave behind. I have a peace about what lies beyond this life
You will most likely live a long and wonderful life, made more so if you quit dwelling on leaving it. You have one of the most wonderful privileges on earth: being a Mom, and having a child to raise. As the mother of a 31 year old, don't miss these wonder days of your baby's growth and development. They really do grow up too fast - you blink twice and they're off to college. Instead of dwelling on death, look at life with a new sense of wonder, be grateful for all you have and, to paraphrase the Tim McGraw song, live like you were dying, like every day was your last, loving and enjoying every minute. None of us is promised tomorrow, or the next 5 minutes for that matter. But don't dwell on that - dwell on the miracle that is life.

"To accept death.... is to be liberated from it." That is a good quote i have heard. If all you do while living is think and worry about death, you might as well die because you are wasting your life over something that happens everyday and to everyone.... without death there can be no life.
Basically no matter what religion you believe in (i am athiest) there is NO PROOF, so live a good life and live it to the fullest with no regrets.
It is a pretty good assumption that you only live once in this world, (most religions believe this), even in the "Christian Heaven"
there is NO SEX, night, crying, love between people (you are in "love" with god), and there is no True free will in heaven (isn't that what makes life so enjoyable??).
So just don't worry about it.....live life so that when you do die you will feel completion.
"Death must be easy, cause life is hard."

You are not alone. When my daughter was 6 weeks old, I had to go back to work. I was afraid to leave the house, afraid to do anything at all because I was so afraid something would happen to me. That was basically all I thought about. I had dreams where I died and I'd wake up in a panic!

I am a heart patient with 3 beautiful growing girls, I think about dying everyday and what would my daughters do. I live alone in NC with my 2 youngest and my husband works in NY we only see each other about every 3 weeks. So i am alone alot. it frightens me on what they would do or how would they cope. since i have moved here all i do is cry. So i know exactly how you are feeling

You're having these thoughts because you're a new mom and you living a long life is even more important.
You also sound like you have a mild case of postpartum depression.
You and your son will be fine and soon you'll be so busy you wont' have time to think about death.

You're not alone, but you're wasting what little time you have worrying. I'm sure your son would be glad if you would focus on enjoying your time with him instead of something that will happen no matter how much you don't want it too or how much you worry about it.
Wouldn't it make more sense to focus on enjoying what you have right now than worrying about when you aren't here anymore?
Shouldn't you live instead of worrying about dying?

honestly, it doesn't bother me. I figure I am happy now. I have good friends and a happy family. I also have two jobs I love and I am pretty much happy. Though I have not accomplished everything I wish to in my life, if I died now I would die content. Thats not to say that I would deliberatly put myself in harms way just because I do not fear death, I just wouldn't let the fear of death prohibit me from doing the things I like or want to do.

I am. I have visualized me dying suddenly and then thinking about my 15 mo. old son not having his father. That thought bothers me, but I have no choice to continue living my life. I guess when it's my time, it's my time.

No, I think about too.
As a Christian, I am not worried about myself dying. I am very afraid of my wife, and 2 daughters going on without me. I see what hardships children go through with 1 or 0 parents.
I think it is quite a common fear
