Had to leave for 3 weeks and now my 3yo has separation anxiety

My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and then passed, and I had to leave for 3 weeks (2 weeks, came back for 1 week and then left again for one week). My husband took care of my 7yo and 3yo during this time and did a great job as he is an amazing dad.The problem is now my daughter is literally attached to me at all times. If I sit down she wants inside my shirt, if I stand up we must be holding hands, and at night if she wakes up and I am not with her it’s no bueno.I do understand she just wants her mama and this is normal but how long do I let this go on? How do I healthily separate myself? I feel like I am walking a thin line between respecting her emotional needs now and creating future attachment issues. I’ve only been home for 1 week so maybe I need to not stress about it yet but I raise my children as independent beings so this level of attachment is very foreign to me. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2pHDnaq
