Is this normal? How do you deal with it? Sometimes I can't catch my breath thinking about it.

i think its normal, because you love them so much you think if something was to ever happen to them how much it would hurt and propably feel as though you could not go on if anything ever happen to your child, i feel those emotions when i look at my kids and feel like please i hope i never have to go through something like that because i love them so much, because you never when tragedy can strick, i dont like thinking that stuff but sometime it does come to mind.

It's normal to think we might lose someone we love so very much. I've felt that way before and don't even like when someone asks what I'd do if something happened to my child. I had a dream when she was small that she was gone and I could only hear her laughter-it was so real and I was so upset when I woke up. The only thing I can tell you is enjoy every moment with her. Remember we can't do anything about what 'might' happen, only what is happening at that moment. Feel better and realize what a wonderful mom your child has.

I think it is normal. Not if you think about it every second of every day. But if you find the thought creeping into your mind every so often, don't worry. It is only becaue the love for your children is so over-whelming. People feel fear when the feel they might lose something important to them, and with a child there is nothing more important in the world. I just try to banish the thoughts and cherish being with them every second.

Each situation is different as to how normal it is. For me, I just obsess to torture myself , that I feel is not normal.
I feel like I didn't do a good enough job raising her and preparing her for adulthood, so I worry that she'll get into trouble, get hurt or victimized due to her bad attitude and being spoiled.
I worry that a bad decision could cost her her life.
When panic strikes, I try to trust and have faith in her to take care and remember how much she means to me. The key for me is to put it out of my mind and quit using her to punish myself. The guilt that rules my thoughts at such a time makes me feel responsible for her actions and very sad that she is making some of the same mistakes as I made. Following my bad examples without the original integrity that I was raised with, making her more at risk.
As much as I worry about safety, I also worry that she will spend her life in pain full emotional drama.
I just wish for the best and support her any way I can. I try to improve my life to serve as a better example and to give my mom less to worry about. Lol

Don't let worry paralyze you or take away a minute of time that you could be spending with your child. If anything should happen (and, what are the odds of that, really?) - the only thing you'll regret will be not spending enough time with your child. Stop worrying, start living & loving as much as you possibly can.

I think that is something that us parents will always wonder.I think about the same thing and it gets worse as I think about the older she gets.I feel like I can only protect so much now while she is little,but what is it going to be like when she gets older,and can leave home without a parent or adult.I with I could give you a good answer but I don't know one myself.Sorry wish I could help.

Yes its normal. You have to learn to ignore it. You have no control over the future, and what is meant to be will be. Do your best by your child, but its your job to push him/her into adulthood and you can't keep them in a closet.
My 24yr old just finally got her drivers license last week and is now driving her car. I'm terrified. It never ends.

Thats anxiety!
PRAY, thank God for the blessing you call your child, remember that your child came from God, is a gift from God. Place them in HIS hands, pray for protection and cast out fear, and worry (they will eat your lunch!!!) pray for God to calm your heart as He calmed the sea.
God loves you and your child. Cry out to Him
Enjoy your child!

Ask yourself, will God stand next to your child when something bad occurs?
