Answer 1

You're just feeling insecure. Your mom's passing have you thinking about morbid things. You should plan ahead and not feel scared and look back. Remember, nothing is going to happen to your children. Its all in your thoughts. While wasting time thinking about morbid things, why don't you enjoy time with your children? Every parents do have such thoughts but its pushed right at the back of their heads. Just keep yourself occupied and stop thinking.

Answer 2

No my dear is not just you as a matter of a victim of the same fact.Let me start by saying when I lost my sweet mum I was in my final year in skul so you can imagine how bad it was I did not go to school for almost 3 months I thought life had no meaning at all my other relatives tried to conviece me but bore no fruit I saw them like jokers I was truly going insane I always locked up in my room praying to GOD deeply to heal the wound I have I read motivational and spiritual books And I thank GOD for that because atleast now I am strong thou I performed my exams badly.My dear think of your children, read both moivational and spiritual books and put your trust in GOD and I know he will bring all hope that was gone to you and concentrae on raising your children they need you.I know you will overcome just be STRONG.Peace

Answer 3

I think that you are so consumed with taking care of your family that you haven't had the time to grieve.

You need to contact grief counselor or bereavement group A.S.A.P.

By posting this question you have recognized that you need help and the second step is getting that help.

Your local phone book will have some free resources for you. If you get stuck call your doctor or local hospital.

Good luck and you have done the right thing!

Answer 4

It sounds like you might have a slight touch of depression. The way you describe how you feel about things happening to your kids is very much how I felt after my second child was born ( still do sometimes). I spoke to my health visitor about it and just talking about it really, really helped. If you visit your GP and ask to talk to someone it might work for you too.

With the recent death of your mother, I would say that the way you are feeling is quite normal.

I hope this helps!

Answer 5

I am really sorry for your loss. You are still grieving the loss of your mother. That is a big thing. Do you know of any support groups you could go to? Perhaps your church has a grief support group. It helps to talk to other people going through the same thing. You really need someone to vent to about this. Hope you find someplace to go. God bless you.
