how do you handle life worries you get

i'm late 40s now and i've always been extremely close to my mother, she's elderly now, but doing good for her age.....i have my own struggles, mainly psychological disorders which i've had all my adulthood, and i have a few physical health conditions to......my mother worries about me as any mother does about her son......and i just worry a lot sometimes, what if something were to happen to me, not saying it will.....but if it did, i worry about what would happen to my mum? because she worries a lot about me....and i'd find it really devastating if anything was to happen to me and the effect it would have on my mum?

how can i deal with that worry?

What works for me is to have many interests to spend my time with. Sometimes for me, what drives current worries away are other kinds of worrying subject matter, but isn't probably a good way for other people. Hoping for the best for you, you're mom is what mom's are supposed to be loving and caring for their sons and daughters. Day to day try to see what you can do to make her proud.

Take a breath. Recite the serenity prayer. Repeat until I get clarity.
