What are some ways to write feelings of fear, such as:

- losing a loved one,
- almost dying,
- getting lost,
- getting yelled at by your overprotective mother and 
- almost losing someone close to you.

I have this idea in my mind of writing a character almost dying in a fire, but he only got burned. The doctor character has to amputate his arm and there's one character who loses it when he thinks the burned character isn't going to make it.

How do I effectively describe that feeling?
