What is this feeling, or is it a mental health issue?

I'll try and make this short.

I have a friend from childhood, whenever she pops up in my life again something bad happens.

It's not her fault, she is sweet and kind and generally lovely.

I can't keep in touch with her though.

We reconnected once and then my son died, I went off the rails and we lost touch, years later we got back in touch and my daughter died, fell out of touch, pops up and my relationship failed, same story, lost touch got back in touch and I got cancer....

I have real anxiety about her wanting to reconnect again or bumping into her, I know it's irrational, but I sort of associate her coming into my life with something awful happening within 3 months.

Is this a fairly common feeling, or what feeling is it, or is it literally a mental health thing?

Sorry for the ramble.
