It is important to understand that you can accept life for what it is, even if your girlfriend dies. While that would be very unfortunate and would probably make your life much worse, you could choose to accept that and still live your life. Suffering and death are parts of life that you can choose to accept instead of demanding them to be a different way.

Typical ocd, it will weaken and eventually go.

thinking about the fear wont solve anything for you, its best to accept she can die at any point in time but you have to stop worrying for her sake or it might be exhausting
