I used to be exactly the same as you. I would cry myself to sleep about losing a loved one.

My father then developed cancer, and after a year of battling it, he was told it was terminal. At every stage of his illness I would have days when, I would cry and cry knowing the inevitable was going to happen, but, every time I would find ways coping and would adapt to the news as it got worse.

My father died about 2 months ago now, he was only 58, I never thought I would be able to deal with such a huge loss, but everyday is a little bit easier and his spirit lives on through me.

Try not to grieve for the potential loss of your loved ones, focus on having good times with them, being there for one another. I think eveyone has feelings like yours, even if their loved ones are fit and healthy, its only natural to worry about future events.

But, if you start to have these feelings again, tell yourself:

No matter what happens, I WILL cope, I am STRONG.

and try not to worry about it so much.xxx

I am 59 and lost my youngest brother 11 years ago. My mother passed two months ago at the age of 91. My brothers death made me really angry, such a waste. My Mother's death was a blessing, she had Alzheimer's and actually "my Mom' hadn't been here for a long time. I think 39 or 49 or 59 are ages at which we start to feel our own mortality. I think 39 is the first one, for many of us 40 is something of a landmark.
Most advice seems trite, but try to enjoy them as much as possible. Expand friendships and recognize that family is defined by more than blood.
If you continue to be pre-occupied with loss perhaps you should see a counselor.

You need to identify where this fear has come from ..... did something happen to you or someone close (around this age) in your earlier years that might have left such an impression on you? .... It may be irrational but many things that plague us and play on our minds as we get older have their roots in our younger years......
Just consider that (so to speak) all good things must come to an end ... you can either waste your time and waste the time you have with these people - worrying about what might/could happen ..... or you can accept the inevitable .... that it must come to all of us sooner or later, sometimes it might be sooner ... and just determine that while you have them, and them you, you are going to make the most of every day, every hour, every minute and every moment .... that you will never look back and say to yourself 'Im sorry ... I wish.... If only.....' the real success in any life is to try .... don't worry about how successful you might have/ could have been .... don't spend time worrying about if you could, how can you, should you ..... go ahead and do whatever if it makes you and them happy ..... live for the moment .... that's the only time you can guarantee......

I speak from experience

No one knows what the future holds but it is always best to trust God and believe that there will be more good in your life, and in the lives of your loved ones, than bad. Stop tormenting yourself with negative thoughts because worry and fear can do nothing but make you feel terrible.
You must have a very powerful reason for feeling the way you do. What is it that drives you this way? Please figure this out so you can put these painful thoughts behind you and get on with the joys of living.

once you're married. i for my area think of its pointless dropping your virginity on your boyfriend. there is no guarentee that he would be your one and basically consistently and ever. If a guy relatively loves a female he will advise to her and marry her. He'd % to spend something of his life together with her and create a family members together with her. What in case you lose your virginity with your bf and in spite of the reality you will possibly use secure practices you finally end up falling pregnant? your total lie would be screwed and your bf might no longer stick around to advance the infant. this is why why there is maximum of illegitimate babies interior the international on the instant. until needless to say you come back to a sort to have an abortion AKA homicide!

Don't waste away your life with these thoughts.Enjoy and savour every moment you have with your loved ones.Yes we all die,loved ones die.We all think about when will our loved ones die.Life is too precious to waste thinking like this.I have suffered bereavement.I found the strength through other family members.I just thought to myself that person would not want me to be unhappy and wallowing in grief.They would want me to be as happy as I possibly can be,and live my life.My partner has elderly parents,its not a case of dwelling on death,but preparing yourself mentally.I don't think its anything to do with your age,I just think you are a worrier.

apperantly if you think about death or death of loved ones more than 3-4 times a day it could be a sign that you are depressed. I think you should go talk to your doctor anyway, because this could stem from something else ,maybe something that has happened to you. I used to think the same quite a lot, i try and tink of something different straight away, like something happy that ive done with my daughters. good luck

losing loved ones is never easy, but you shouldn't let youirself get obsessed by it, it'll drive you over the edge one day

do you have a reason to be concerned? terminal/serious illness somewhere?

live each day as it comes
be thankful for your family and friends
be happy

We are all "lost" eventually. There is no help in your obsessive thinking about it. Who knows they may lose you first. Celebrate and enjoy every day that is given to you.
