When you have kids its even worse at times, cuz you gotta worry bout whats gonna ahppen to them if something happens.
Mortality thots I think can be triggered by so many things really. I think mortality thots are proly one of those things that those deep writing type people (philosophers?) proly write on. Not that I could understand any of that kind of writing!
I wonder if there is some part of you that feels like its dying? Sounds like a great topic for therapy session, might bring up some (interesting?)things.
So, IMHO I would say you just fine and are doing well in a very hard situation.(don't you just LOVE to hear this from the queen of denial?!?!I am SO full of sh*t). But sometimes a person thats standing back can see things differently, so really, I'm just saying what I see.
When I was a young punk, I expected to die at any time, but maybe that was just reality.
I truly couldn't beleive it when I hit 40. I TRULY didn't think I'd EVER possibly make it that far. But I have. Weird.
Take care B2,
You sure helping me much more than you realize.
Thanks.
