my son isnt taking daddy being gone well

Ty for all the TPS the other day. My 11 month old son is having a really hard time. He's suoer clingy and I can't leave his sight. He's going back and forth btwn the front door and MHs recliner and SCREAMING "daddy." When he realizes he can't find daddy he starts bawling this cry I've never heard from him before. Its awful. I hate this for him and I HATE that me, his mommy, who's supposed to be able to make everything OK can't do a thing to make this better for him.

    :( Do you have family nearby that could help distract him?  And help you?

    Oh sweetie.

    I am so sorry. You don't have to make everything better. I know it feels that way, but you don't.

    Do you have anyone who can help so that you can grieve? You need time yourself.

    How heartbreaking. Maybe a family member can watch your son, so you can have some time to yourself? I can't begin to imagine what you must be going through. You and your little guy are in my thoughts and prayers.

    We live w my parents and theyve been awesome we have an apartment in their basement. MH was an only child. His parents haven't. made it to us yet..we live in CT and.they live on an island in Alaska. The earliest they could get here bc of that is tomorrow morning. They're in the airport waiting for their red eye flight now.

    Just hug your LO and let him cry and scream. You can cry with him. I wish you peace

    I saw your post below and I 'm so sorry for your loss!!

    Of course all you can do is give him hugs and cuddles but that won't fix what's lost. I agree with the PP that your job isn't to make everything ok, it's just to be there as much as you can when you're not. However, I gotta tell you that you need to grieve too so it's good that you have your parents close by.

    I'm thinking of you and praying for you. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

    It will hurt no matter what; maybe move his recliner to a different location (even temporarily)?
