My great fear is not dying but leaving the people behind who depend on me.

I mean as the only earning member of my family the scariest post part about dying is what will happen to family.

I don't have a big life insurance and not a lot of savings. So it gives me chills that my wife and daughter will have to fend for themselves or live a lesser life should I cease to exist suddenly one day.

Get some term life insurance. It is usually very inexpensive.
I really hope you can get enough life insurance for cheap, it will set your mind at ease. https://www.zanderins.com. The rule I've heard is get 10-12 times your income. If you're making 60k/year, that's 600,000 - 720,000 in insurance, which for a young-ish healthy-ish person is cheaper than most people expect.
