hovering

In Italy there is a segment of the parent population that is doing the same thing, and I think it has been going on for generations. I am from Italian descent and have watched my father, an over 85 year old man, still glorifying his mother and still crying over her death. I have often wondered where this comes from and the observation has lived with me for years as I watched my Italian relatives interact. This may be where I become overly worried and anxiety ridden over my kids future. Is this the nuturing instinct that never dies?
