Do you ever stop worrying about your kids even when they're grown?

My adult son has a dangerous job and I really wish he'd find something else. They aren't paying him enough for the amount of danger he's exposed to for his overall health. He's been talking about finding another job for months, but hasn't really looked. There's been two incidents now. I guess you never stop worrying and you just got to let them make their own choices. All I can do is guide him to put his well-being over a job.

Hard to let go, but you have to, or it breeds resentment.
We never stop caring or loving them, but our role changes as they grow up.
Give advice, but don't make it sound like a command or ultimatum.
Encourage, but do not scold.
If this is met coldly, discuss what it is that bothers them about your approach.
It doesn't ever mean you have to change your opinions or walk on eggshells; it's just basic communication, which includes listening as well as talking.
I learned this the hard way and had, for a time, a very unhealthy relationship with my grown son.
We both admitted having some wrong approaches and assumptions.

This may not apply to you, of course.
