Don't talk about the separation with your daughter at all.
If she brings up something like, "Why isn't daddy here?" Say something like, it's OK baby, don't you worry about it...let's go outside and play.
I have to do that all the time with my S4 because he wants mommy and daddy back together. He tells me, he told my mom over the weekend, I know he tells W, but I can't make him part of the mess. He has to be insulated from it as much as possible.
Do that for your daughter. Then take care of her, pay her extra attention, but don't go overboard, you know? It's such a delicate balance, but just focus on her and it'll all be OK.
We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.
