Late Term and Child Loss

Separation anxiety

I wrote a few days ago about being nervous when MH goes back to work on Monday.  But in addition to the worry I have about being alone, I am feeling what I can only describe as separation anxiety at the thought of him being gone all day.

 We've never been a couple that spends a ton of time together....we have our together time but we each have our own time.  But we've been together for the last two weeks and I get very emotional whenever I think of him not being with me all day.  It's almost like a "homesick" feeling.  Did anyone else experience anything like this?

Re: Separation anxiety

  • Yep! He is at work right now and I try and keep distracted so I don't think about it. I feel very dependent on him. It WILL get easier. I suggest doing little steps. Have him go to the store, or out to visit friends or something so you have some practice

  • Yes, I still do feel like this from time to time. I figured out that its because I'm so scared of something happening to him too. DH is my rock, my anchor. I would not have survived losing Ian if not for my DH. It has gotten better but it took a while. I

  • Yes. There are still times when I wish he was here when he is working or coaching in the evenings. You have been through a traumatic experience, and it is normal to cling to those who you have experienced traumatic things with. It is true that it

  • Totally!  We spent so much time together over the holidays before, and then the weeks after our loss, so it was difficult to be gone all day.  We don't normally talk, but I find myself calling and texting more even now. I agree with pp's that

  • I know exactly how you feel. I cried every morning that he left me to go to work. It was hard. I almost felt abandoned and had to deal with everything by myself. But he would call me numerous times during the day to check in on me.
