Over anxious about bad things happening to my granddaughter

I am so glad I found this! I worry about all sorts happening to my 11 month old granddaughter. I have to forceably try to push these thoughts from my head. They have no basis- my D and SIL are great but I think of worse case scenarios and how could I cope if something happened to her. I realise that now feels selfish as I am focusing on myself. One of the replies above has said it will be easier when - fingers crossed- I have more GC and I sincerely hope this is true. I have taken to heart all of the comments I have read. Thank you.

5 minutes ago i asked google the question why do i worry about something happening to my gd and this thread came up. I am so very very grateful to this thread. I worry about anything and everything happening to my gd. I read something in a book and immediately think it could happen to her. I must admit I thought I was alone feeling like this and actually started to think there was something wrong with me so thank you everyone for making me feel not so alone. Someone put a link that may be useful and I will go back and click on it and will do some research on cbt also mentioned. Thank you all.
