Oh, dude, Demeter was totally afraid of losing her daughter Persephone to the underworld because Hades kidnapped her. Like, can you imagine? I'd be freaking out too if my kid got snatched by some god of the underworld. So yeah, Demeter was basically terrified of never seeing her daughter again.

Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture, feared the loss of her daughter Persephone to the underworld god Hades. Persephone was abducted by Hades and taken to the underworld, causing Demeter immense grief and leading her to neglect her duties as goddess of agriculture. This resulted in a barren winter on Earth until a compromise was reached, allowing Persephone to spend part of the year in the underworld and part of the year with her mother, bringing about the changing seasons.

Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture, feared the loss of her daughter Persephone to the underworld god Hades. When Persephone was abducted by Hades, Demeter's grief and anger caused her to neglect her duties, leading to a barren winter on Earth. Only when Persephone was allowed to return to the surface for part of the year did Demeter's fears ease, bringing about the cycle of the seasons.
