When I was still single, I wasn't scared to die.But now, I really am. I cant imagine how my children would live without me. That's why I always pray that He gives me longer life,so I could be with my children. To all mothers of all kind. my fellow mylotters, do you also feel the same feeling as I am having now?

The truth is, you are still not afraid to die. You are scared for those you are going to left behind. Most people are scared to die because they don't want to lose what they possess or they're not yet prepared to meet their Creator. We, mothers. on the other hand, are scared for a different reason. We are more concerned of the people we are leaving behind. I am not scared of dying. I trust my husband enough to raise our only son. My siblings love him enough to help my husband raise him. What i'm scared of, is the consequence of my lost, if ever. So I've discussed about it with my son, just in case. I'm not praying for it though, but I am an orphan myself and i know how it feels like.

Exactly! Mother's are afraid to die, not because of their own self but because of their kids. I do feel the same too. My kids are my life and I always pray that God will give me more time to live and be with my kids till they have a family of their own. I want to see them having a good life before passing from this life. Welcome to mylot

I totally feel the same way. Something in our brains change the second you have a child. I always worry what my children would do if something were to happen to me. I know they always have their dad, but it just isnt the same as having your mom around. I think it is just a natural part of being a mother.
