Anyon else ?

Question

Anyone else often think about what would happen to your kids if something were to happen to you ? Like how they’re going to wonder where mommy is and how much they’re going to miss you ? I think about this often and I cry HARD every time! No, I’m not suicidal or anything but I can’t help but think that anything can happen to you and my heart just breaks thinking how much my kids are going to miss me if something were to ever happen to me. The story of the 2 year old toddler that lost both his parents during the mass shooting in highland park, Chicago breaks my heart every time I think about how much he misses his parents. Ugh it’s probably not healthy and maybe I should seek help or is this pretty normal as a parent?

Answer

I think about this a lot but in a pragmatic way (who would get custody, who should be beneficiaries of our life insurance, who should control the kids’ trust, etc) not in an emotional way.

Answer

I haven't ever thought about that.
If you think about that often and cry about it often, I would consider finding therapy. Having intrusive thoughts are somewhat normal, but if it starts to become a lot and too much and too often it's worth dealing with it professionally 🙏

Answer

I can't say I have ever thought about that. My husband and I have talked about who would take the kids if something happened to us but that's it.

Answer

it’s normal mama, it’s anxiety. there’s nothing wrong with thinking about worst case scenarios, it’s not exactly the best but it’s a very normal, very human thing to do.

Answer

I think it is kinda normal to a point. I'm also like this. But in my case it's post partum anxiety lol
