mortality

so my dad is an air crash investigator with the australian air force. Because of his job he can be called almost anywhere in australia and anywhere australians are operating in the world. Lately i cant get out of my head him dying. i had dreams where he gets called to afghanistan and something goes wrong. lilke he gets shot or a mine goes off. I keep on thinking about the letter they would send to tell us all. I cant get it out of my head and its driving me crazy. I wouldnt ask him to stop working with defence, because he loves his job but i worry and it scares me to death. Does anyone else have this sort of situation or have any coping mechanisms?

I used to have a similar-ish paranoia: every night I was afraid to go to sleep for fear that my brother or mom would accidentally set the house on fire.
I just distracted myself from it until I realized how stupid I had been.
so make an effort to distract yourself: watch TV, play COD, hell, even do your homework if you're desperate ;)
