Is it normal to have a fear/paranoia of people dying?

I guess i've always had it, this sort of paranoia but i never really realized it until i started being scared of people dying...?
Like when my mom and brothers don't come back within and hour, i become extremely paranoid that they've been in a car crash and died and i haven't been told. The fear of someone dying, and me not being told. I immediately ring my dad and ask where she is because she isn't picking up her phone, and it has happened twice and i have been in trouble because my mom feels i'm too controlling/clingy when she is a full grown adult.
I also have it when i am crossing the road with friends, i always hold them with my arm because im scared they wont cross at the right time and get run over... I think that may be because i saw my best friend get run over and break a leg but i am very protective of people getting hurt and i have a paranoia of many things.

Is this a serious form of paranoia or is nothing to worry about?

    I do too. It usually is linked to anxiety and/or OCD, I feel your pain. :c

    I doubt if it's normal but I can tell you that I am exactly like you. I am extremely paranoid. Everyday before coming to work I kiss him passionately because there's this little voice inside my head which tells me that this may be the last kiss. When he is out I am terribly anxious that something bad happen to him. Sometimes when I call and he doesn't answer I immediately think that he may have had an accident. Now that I know that I have this problem I try real hard to suppress it.

    Me too sometimes. I'll be afraid for my parents. Like they'll be gone for too long. And I start imagining bad things happening to them. :/ It sucks a lot! I'm pretty sure this has something to do with Anxiety.
