Maybe it will come with time, but these good-byes don't seem to be getting easier. Even so, I think I'm helped by this capacity we have as human beings to look forward to things that might happen in the future. I read not too long ago that this ability is unique to people. No other creatures have a future orientation like we do.
And that is probably the only reason I'm actually able to say good-bye to my children.
