1.Use Deep Breathing Deep breathing is another effective way to relieve stress and anxiety. It helps you with physical symptoms such as shallow breathing and rapid heart rate, and it also helps with controlling your thoughts. When you practice deep breathing, you're forced to take your thoughts off of whatever is causing you anxiety and to focus on the breathing technique that you are using. 2.Keep A Journal Journaling can be an effective way to deal with your anxiety and to find relief. It helps you to take all of the things that are rolling around in your head and get them out of your head and down on paper. Sometimes seeing the things that we're worried about on paper can help us to see that they're not as big of a deal as we thought they were. It can also help us to find solutions that we have been overlooking. 3.Hang Out With Friends If you're struggling with anxiety, sometimes the last thing that you want to do is go hang out with your friends. Even if it's an activity that you enjoy with people that you like, the thought of it can be stressful. Your brain already feels overwhelmed with things that you feel you need to figure out, and it can seem like a bad use of time to do something fun. 4. Exercise, Find What Works For You : You might be tired of hearing about how great exercise is for your health. But, the reason you hear about it so much is that there's no way around it. Exercise it's good for both your physical body and for your mind.Getting regular exercise has been proven to help you sleep better at night, clear your head, and boost your mood. It's a great way to use up all that pent-up energy that you have in a way that's going to benefit you in multiple areas of your life.

Many times, the thought of fear itself is greater than what it is we fear. Idowu Koyenikan The fear of death never left me; I couldn't get used to the thought; I would still sometimes shake and weep with terror. By contrast, the fact of existence here and now sometimes took on a glorious splendour. Simone de Beauvoir

Yes it's very normal to  not want people we love to die. Actually we don't talk anymore if about death in modern culture there can be a certain amount of fear because we don't fall in no what we would be dealing with. AND UNHEALTHY FEAR OF LOSING LOVED ONES IS MORE LIKE A RISING ANXIETY AND COMES WITH EXTREME THINKING WE FEEL OUR LIFE WOULD BE OVER WITHOUT THE OTHER PERSON THE MORE WE THINK ABOUT LOSING THE LOVED PERSON IN QUESTION THE WORSE WE FEEL. WHAT IS ACTUAL  FEAR BENEATH THE FEAR *Fear of being alone *Having to do everything by yourself *Not knowing how to cope * Having no identity of your own. CAN WE STOP OTHER PEOPLE FROM DYING ONE DAY ???? NO BUT WE CAN FIND SUPPORT TO LEARN NEW WAYS OF BEING AND TAKE STEPS FORWARD SO THAT WE NO LONGER FEEL OVERWHELMED OVER THE THE IDEA OF BEING ON OUR OWN. FEAR OF LOSING LOVED ONES CAN HIDE A PROBLEM WITH CODEPENDENCY IT INVOLVES TAKING YOUR SENSE OF SELF AND WORTH FROM ANOTHER PERSON INSTEAD OF DEVELOPING IT WITHIN. CODEPENDENCY IS NOT A HEALTHY WAY OF RELATING at least you enable to see all your inner resources and personal power. HOW CAN YOU STOP WORRYING ABOUT LOSING A LOVED ONE? * Make a list of all your concerns * Identify what you have already lost * Practice mindfulness * Learn about death and dying * Talk about your fear with supportive others.
Next Steps
if you feel nobody would understand your anxiety about losing a loved one then speak to counselor.

Hi... The way you have explained it appears like a post traumatic stress but at the root of it is a genuine fear of loosing a loved one in this pandemic situation. This is very normal, especially when you both have recently suffered from a traumatic experience (covid in april). You need to vent out your fears in a therapeutic setting where you can share anything in a confidential, non-judgemental, and controlled environment.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist. CBT along with Supportive Counselling and Lifestyle Guidance is required.
