how can i stop worrying about my mum getting older

i've always been close to my mother, very close, right since i was a toddler....and my mum lives far away from me now, i live alone in a little flat....my mother lives an hours drive from me now....and to be honest, here all alone there's times when i worry that she is getting older? my mum is elderly now but doing well for her age....i think deep down i'm scared of my mother leaving me and no longer being around?

that would devastate me so much, i think at that point i would leave this world too...i couldn't bare to live or carry on without my mum...i know that i couldn't.

what can i do when i worry like this? i love my mother to the stars, my mum is very special to me...and everything i do i do to honour my mum, and live according to the way she brought me up.

in general i suffer with a personality disorder, so, a hard mental disorder.....and my only support system is literally my mum and dad, they've been separated over 30 years now...i love my dad, he's great but i'm closest to my mum.

does anyone have any thoughts about all this?

Your mum or dad isn't going to die anytime soon. Just focus on the time you have together with them now and continue to carry it on with other people when they pass. That's probably what they want most from you is to know when they do pass away you'll have the ability to keep living your life the best way that you can.
