I don't think that fear ever goes away, we just bury it because it doesn't really benefit us to dwell on it.
I remember having a similar meltdown when I was child for the same reasons, I think it's pretty normal, though I say that while not having kids, and I've heard heaps of stories from my mates and family about the big feelings they felt as kids when they contemplated death.
It's freaky, and occasionally I still freak out about it. But again, I think that's normal as long as it isn't all-consuming and paralysing. I hope you can get some restful sleep soon, friend, and miniest has good, happy dreams π
