The last few years I have felt this, but it has eased a little. I'm already down to one parent (my mum), and I don't have any grandparents and am not in touch much with aunties and uncles (who are all aging and some are not in good health). So I do worry about what life will be like without my mum and relatives that I am close to.

I think it's fairly normal, particularly if you are still living with parents or rely on your parents a lot (I know I do). A few years ago, I would get really anxious about my mum dying. I just became really obsessed with her health for some reason. I don't get so anxious these days as I've tried to keep myself busy and focus on my own life and what I can do to be more independent or think about the types of friendships I want to build (which, without realising, might also help me when the time does come).

I don't know if any of this was helpful but you are not alone in this at all <3
