I am 22 and I cry a lot about that. I know that we all die but I am so sensitive about this that it bring me to tears a lot, especially at night when I'm trying to sleep. Does anyone else do this? I just want them around forever!

Yes, especially during PMS time. As much as we fight, it still sucks to know that they will be gone someday :-(.

Well nothing is forever. If so I would still have my best friend which was my mother. She's been gone 7yrs now.It sucks. You have issue's with abandonment some where Could be in a past life. Get some books by Sylvia Browne they might help ya understand what your going through Good luck

I have experienced the same thing. I thought the same way about my parents. I would become sad and my stomach would feel anxious. I couldn't bear the thought of my parents passing away.
When I was a child I would think that my parents were invincible, that nothing could harm them. I never thought of death, my only thoughts were about life, and what my future holds, it was all about me.
Then I grew up, moved out, etc... I started to miss my parents, and the times we had together. I missed the feeling of family, and being together. I started thinking about the things they would say, and how much they made sense now. I started appreciating them.
I wish I could have told them while they were still here, how much I love them, and thank them for my life. For helping me to see how much life has to offer - the value of life.
I lost both my parents, and my advice to you, is try not to think about it too much. Enjoy every moment you have with them while they are still here. Don't grieve for them while they are here. Enjoy your time together, let them know how much you love and appreciate them. Keep them involved with your life.
What gives me strenth is in knowing that I WILL see my mom and dad again soon. When we pass our body dies, but our spirit lives on.
Our true source is something we call the spirit.
Just have faith in the future, don't dwell on the ego driven thoughts. Think in spirit.

I've lost my father already and I have to tell you I am scared to death of losing my mother. She is a beautiful woman who is a big part of my life and even though she lives 3,000 miles away I try to not let a day go by that I don't call her because non of us know when our time is. So yes I do think about it often and sometimes I do cry but the important thing is to treasure you parents while you have them, love them, call them, give them hugs...............just be with them whenever you can. When they do pass on you will have the memories there to remind you of how special your time with them really was....take lots of pictures!

My advice is to spend the time you have with them while you can. Try not to think about what may be, it's never how you picture it anyway. i just lost my mom to cancer last october (i'm 25). I used to think about not having her in my life when i was in highschool and college. It made me cry too. But, from experiance, tho i miss my mom like crazy and i still get sharp pangs of hurt in my heart when i think of the things i want to share with her now, its different from when i used to imagine her not being there...being dead. This is partly due to my faith and partly due to the fact that after someone dies you are FORCED to live without them. There are no longer any maybes or what-ifs, and so you learn to go on and live.
Cherish what time you have not only with your parents but all those that you love. Life is way too short to lie in bed worrying about when they will no longer be there with you. And when the time comes that they are no longer with you, trust me, its tough but possible to go on living the lives they would want you to live..one filled with happiness and love.

Yes. Ever since I can remember. My parents are 10 years older than parents of people my age, and I've always had a fear of them dying because of that. I would lay in bed and cry, ever since I was a little girl. They are still alive, in their 70's and strong...but I'm scared.

I really do. I just cannot imagine myself standing by the coffin of one of my parents. Can't fancy any funerals - it's like for the OTHERS, not for my family. In fact I cannot even think of a life without my parents. I'm 27. Still not married. Who the hell will need me if not my parents. I'll stay so damn alone

I was 30 when my dad died and 32 when mom died.I cry when I think of all the times I disliked my mom.When I get hurt or upset,I find myself crying for my mom.I want to pick up the phone and call her and talk to her,but I know she is not there anymore.I miss them both and it makes me think of my own mortality.

I feel you on this one. I'm also worried about the same thing. I mean i know we all are going to die sometime someday. But it just scares me hang on tight nothing will happen i believe. The more you think of it the more its like to happen foreal. Just try to ignore it.

I've been through this, actually I still go through it...if you find yourself crying often at night you may need help..I'm not sure what the term is but it can cause depression
