living in fear of a loved one departing and leaving you

i know i've asked variants of this before, but it's something which really terrifies me....i fear deeply my elderly mother who i'm very close to and highly dependent on, i fear her departing this life and leaving me on my own in such a terrifying world?

i live alone, as i have done for 20 years in a little apartment , i have no support system apart from mainly my mum, and dad, but mainly my wonderful mum, i also live with difficult mental problems......i love my mother dearly and don't want my mum to leave me?....my mother lives far from me now, about 1 hours drive...and i see my mum now mainly at xmas time.......my mum phones me four times a day......which i'm so appreciative of and i always tell her how much i love her.....my mums doing good for her age.


can anyone help?

I can understand this dreadful feeling. One can’t help but stay silent throughout life, thinking it’s inevitable.
