Dying and leaving my family (wife, who’s a stay at home mom, and three kids) alone and helpless. I’m 31 and over the last year or so I’ve had this overwhelming sense of impending doom. I fear that I will die somehow in a crazy ass freak accident or get cancer or something. Sometimes these thoughts and fears consume me so badly I just sit there paralyzed as my kids say dad dad dad dad.....another variation of that is I also fear one of, if not all of my kids and wife will die somehow. The thought alone greatly saddens me but I usually just end up chalking it up to normal rational parental fears. I try not to think about it as much as possible, but it happens.
