I cannot face separation

Dear friend, I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with the fear of separation. It's a tough emotion to grapple with, and it can be especially challenging when it feels like it's consuming you. From a Buddhist perspective, it's important to remember that all things are impermanent, including our relationships. While that can be a scary thought, it's also an opportunity to practice non-attachment and to appreciate the time we have with our loved ones.
From a psychological perspective, it's understandable that you're feeling anxious about separation. It's a common fear, and one that can be triggered by past experiences of loss. It may be helpful to explore these past experiences with a therapist, to understand how they may be impacting your current feelings. It's also important to practice self-care during this time, to help manage your anxiety and build resilience.
In terms of coaching advice, I would recommend taking small steps towards facing your fear of separation. This could include practicing mindfulness and meditation to help build your resilience and ability to manage difficult emotions. It could also involve setting small goals, such as spending time apart from your loved ones for short periods of time, and gradually building up to longer separations. Remember, it's okay to take things slowly and to ask for support along the way.
