Like Phillipa, my experience was to loose my parents young. I was in my early 20's & lost them both within 2 years.
And like Phillipa, it's my own death that's this issue.
I wonder - since it sounds like your independence is a major factor, what if you & therapist/psych came up with a really broken-down-into-small-things list of things that you'd need to have in place in order to feel independent & be independent. It could be just for your own information.....almost like opening the door to see what's making the big noise & being able to see the it's a series of small branches all clanking against the door & making a Big racket.
You could really break things down so that there were easily achieveable things on it that you could bit by bit become independent with. You could even tick them off or cross them off as you get the under your belt.
It's just a thought Deneb - for me, it would help, but for some people it might just cause more stress.

PS - I thought Dinah's post had great insight.
