My mom died suddenly 8 days ago. Now I can’t stop living in fear that everyone else i love is just going to drop dead as she did. If my dad or my MIL doesn’t answer their texts immediately i get anxiety that they are dead.
Does anyone else experience this? Does it go away? I lost a few people prior to this unexpectedly but it didn’t make me think this way.
Yep I had some pretty bad anxiety attacks about it the first couple weeks. I could almost see counters above everyone’s heads counting down the time they had left. I wanted to push everyone away and pull them as close as possible simultaneously bc the loss is unbearable.
My family calls me regularly just to chat at certain times and I panic when I get a call outside of that bc I worry about the worst. You’re not alone in this feeling.
