Childs concerns about death and seperation

My bright and funny 5 yr old daughter has become quite concerned about me dying before she does and things like my falling asleep and forgetting to call her in from outside playing etc. She began kindergarten three weeks ago, after two years of preschool and 4+ years of daycare. She has always been a bit of a "mamas girl" but lately even staying with Dad while Mom runs errands etc causes her to cry and "miss" Mom. I recoginize that starting Kindergarten is playing a role, but she is starting to appear to take on the weight of the world, often getting upset at tiny insignificant issues.

thank you.
