Will You Missed Your Family When You Away From Them?

i know i will miss my family very much soon. as of now i only have my parents and one sibling out of 4 left. it's not the same anymore. i miss my 3 other older brothers. miss all the teases and jokes with them. we have been away for about a year and i will go to London this coming January so we will be away for more years.

I am living far away from my parents. It's about 40 km. Of course, I miss my family very much, I go to my home every weekends. I feel comfortable and happy when I come to my house with my parents and little brother. Family is stronghold for us when we feel lonely and failure.

For me yes It is happened specially if you love each other in your family sometimes they feel depressed.

hi julyteen, I think I will feel the same, far away from your family is so hard, but if you have a good reason you have to sacrifice the homesick. On the other hand, you will be failed to doing things, especially if it is for your family.

Now that I got a family on my own, I miss them instantly. Good thing there are technologies that somehow eases the emotion.

My dad works overseas since I was a kid. So I was used on this kind of set-up. While growing up, my mom, my brother and I would fight most of the time. Now my brother is with my dad and my mom usually stays on our province, it's just me on our lonely house. I'm just glad I have and other extra curricular activities to keep myself busy away from nostalgia. Moreover, if I'd get to have my own family, I don't want to be away from them that's why I'm striving to have more income streams so money will no longer be a problem in the future.

Hello julyteen, I don't have to wait for months or years, whenever I am not seeing my family, I will feel homesick. I miss them so much that I can't afford to be away from them. When I was young, I always missed my parents. And now that I have my own family, I miss my son and husband miserably whenever they are not around me!

hi julyteen yes I still feel that way althouvh my son is only a few miles away before he lost his job we were sharing a two b edroom apartment,. then we ran out of money , got behind on the rent and had noone to help us so we were evicted. and were homeless. such a shock to go from midlle class to homeless. I was 83 and my son was concerned that this situation w as not good for my healht. I am a diabetic and also partly physically handicapped. He got help to put me here at Gold crest.lest anyone think I am here free forget it mysocial security and SSI check p ays for monthly rent and board, and gives me back a little for personal use. my son got gov.sponsored help to share a twobedroom apartment with three other men so they had a place to stay while job hunting, He was out of work for a year and a half then got a part time job but now his employer has cut him back to one day a week. so now back to the drawing board again. job hunting again. I miss living with him in our own apartment very much although he does come to see me every week.I am not alone here as there are over 100 residents but I am alone in the important ways.

I am lucky that I have not been away from my immediate fammilly for long at all, a day at the most, we are extreemly close as there are so few of us and I cant imagine having to be away from anyone of them i love them all so much.

Hi friend... Actually i have not stayed so many days leaving my family. Perhaps not more than 15 days and it happened when i was in hostel. I would definitely miss my family if it will be 8 months as you have mentioned. have a nice day.

Hi july teen: Even if I consider myself an independent person that loves to do the things the way I like and I think it's good to work all by yourself, family is family. I really love my family, they are irreplaceable and the feelings that I have for my mother, father, brother and sister and off course, for the rest of my family also makes me feel that I want to be with them. At least I can count with my family and that's something I have to thanks God for. ALVARO

Hi July, I have been away from from since a long long time. First there was my stay at the college hostel - 5 years. Then when I started my career, I was lucky to have got the chance to go back and stay with them for a couple of years before leaving for job as I was transferred to another place. Then again my illness brought me back to my home with my family and then the love happened, and to earn for our wedding, I still went out of town for one and a half year. Now I am with my wife but still we both are away from our parents as her workplace is too distant from my parents place. Initially I missed my family like you. Then I learned the ways of coming over. But still there are those times when you wished someone from your family was with you. Now I cannot think to stay away from my family (my wife) as she kind of takes care of almost everything for me. Cheers, theSids.

i never fell like that,perhaps i am young.i am away from them for almost 6 months.

When I used to study in manila I miss my family a lot because they are the only reason why I still didn't give up on life. With them life goes on. Even though I'm broke at times at least I still have them. That's a treasure no one can provide.

i havent experience being away from my family or my kids for more than 3 days, i mean 3 days is the most.. right now im planning to work abroad for my kids, i know i will feel really homesick but i just need to work.. why not visit them?

The only person I really miss is my mom. We are pretty close. But she lives 1300 miles away from me. I talk to her daily. And I get to see her about twice a year. I think missing them is normal.

How much I miss them depends on how long I'm away for. I always miss them though. I have to go out of town every now and then on business. Sometimes I'm gone for 5 days, and yes, that's when I really miss them. I keep in touch in any way I can. Luckily we live in a time when there are many ways to stay in touch. I often use webcams so that when I'm away I can say goodnight to my kids. I still miss them, but it makes it a little easier to do that.

I've been away from my family for 26years now and I miss them all the time. Lucky for me somebody from my family comes to visit me every year, my mom. my aunt and uncle, my cousin and my dad. My dad only seen me 3 times in 26 years but my mom comes every 2 year.. They in Germany and I'm in America so it's quite a journey...11 hours on the plane

Hello julyteen. I truly understand your situation as I have been away from my family for almost four years. It's really not easy especially if you are in another country. What I do is I make use of technology. I call them if I have free time and chat with them. Catching up with things on their side keeps me at ease and feel closer to them. Hope this helps.
