Hi Mums,
My 9 year old dd as all of a sudden said she is scared of dying and is crying her eyes out .
It all began 3 weeks ago when she randomly didn't want me to leave her at school in the morning .
Myself and her dad who are divorced have both had this response and through the days have asked her if she's being bullied etc
She opened up to me last week saying she's scared of growing up and frightened of going to secondary school . A week later it has now come out she is scared of dying and so worried of myself or her dad dying and her not being able to see us anymore .
I have tried reassuring her that we aren't going anywhere for a long time and she shouldn't worry about it .
I was just wondering if anyone had been through similar and how you dealt with it as it is now effecting my dd schooling , eating and being able to relax . Tia x
