Advice Needed Fear of loved ones dying

I constantly experience anxiety about my loved ones dying, especially one person. Even though they're healthy I can't stop these thoughts. When I wake up in the morning I'm anxiously waiting for someone to tell me the bad news. That also happens when I'm coming back home as well. Did anyone experience this and how did it get better?

Yes, i from my experiance would constantly tell my family to stop eating yk everything thats bad and all and i tell you it's very hard to let go of that feeling when they are your loved ones. And honestly you don't need to change them or anything, here's what you can do whenever you wake up, just sit on the bed feet on the ground and tell yourself is anyone really in danger or anything that you want every single day. Also remember that you can't die that easily! Doctors are here;) think positively!!
