anyone else have these thoughts?

i know it's probably a faux pas to ask something like that, but i'm curious. 

as far as your PPD, did any of you have mortality issues?  like, i start to think about DS growing up and that always snowballs into that meaning time is passing so the cats are gonna grow old and die, my dad is gonna grow old and die, i'm gonna grow old and die, DS will grow old and die.  like watching DS grow up is fabulous, but they change so much so fast, it totally just makes me realize how fleeting time is.  it gets me all emotional. 

okay, had to ask.  sorry.  Embarrassed

    I have those thoughts at times - especially when there's a death in the family or a sad story on the news. It scares the crap out of me! I think most people have those thoughts at one time or another.

    I know what you mean. My issues are more about time getting cut short than time passing. I will think about my son's first birthday and planning it and getting excited. And then I think but what if something happens before that? What if he dies of SIDS? What if I get in a car wreck on the highway? What if I don't see him grow up? It can snowball into sadness if I let it. Then I feel guilty. Who thinks about their 4 month old dying?  PPD just brings out a lot of deep emotions in really random ways and working through those is really hard.
