I do worry about it because my mum died when I was 9. I do try and keep it in perspective - you never know what is ahead of you? But I tend to take lots of photos and videos of everyone and also try to focus on the gift that simply having a life to live is. I do also try to keep us all reasonably healthy - so exercise and good food as well as lots of laughs. Neither DH or I smoke or drink much either so we try to minimise our environmental risk as such.
Yes I have thought about that at times. Thinking about how much my little angel depends on me and how I just want to be around for him until he is all grown up with grandchildren of his own hehe. I absolutely adore my son and I know that no one would be able to look after him or love him like I can. The thought of something happening to me scares me so much and we are hopeless in that we have still got our unfinished will here because we have NO ONE we would feel comfortable leaving our baby with if something happened to us so that's a real concern and something that deeply bothers me. I just am hoping that the universe keeps me here long enough to fulfill my motherly duties and raise my baby into a strong and happy person as I still have a long long time ahead of me which I have such an impact and importance in my child/rens life.

Yep I think like this. I worry about it because I don't want to leave my DD, I feel like she really needs me. If I weren't here she would end up in fulltime childcare and not have my love every day.
Yes and no. I am scared of dying, as in the act of dying and what's going to happen. I worry about something happening to my husband and how I would cope without him. I also worry about something happening to Moo, just the thought of him not being here for whatever reason scares the living daylights out of me so I try not to think about it. I don't think I'm strong enough to survive him ITMS.
As for leaving my son behind, I have to say this is not something that worries me for some reason. My own dad died when I was 6 and it's had the opposite affect on me as to what PP's have said. It's hard to explain but I know he'd be ok.
Yes, I do. The thought of never seeing my kids again or the thought of them crying for me or being hurt or upset and not being there for them makes me cry every time I think about it.
Absolutely... Same here:

It's odd really, I don't worry about me dying but I worry about DH dying or the kids dying. I have no idea how I would go on if either of those things were to happen or how the kids would cope if those things were to happen.
I guess I don't worry so much about myself because I won't be here anymore so that would be DH's thing to deal with. I don't like the idea of my kids losing either parent and hurting, but if DH was to die or they were to lose a sibling, that is the pain I would have to deal with, if that makes sense.
