How do you cope with separation anxiety? My friend is now going back to work after giving birth to her now 2 y/o baby. She's been telling me how difficult it is for her to be away for long hours from her little one. However, she needs to work to be able to support her baby.

If I may suggest, weeks before she goes back to work, she can start doing some stuff while the baby is with the Nanny, parent or in-laws. For example, go to the salon by herself, watch movie with the hubby, dine out with the baby at home. My wife did that before. Of course, the anxiety will still be there, but somehow, it'll be lessen.
