Being away from home and family is really difficult. You feel that you're alone, and hoping that you can make the time runs fast so that you can go home and enjoy you're life again, as what they always say, "there's no place like home". How about you guys, what do you do when you're in this kind of situation?

i still never experience this before because i never yet experience to work in abroad,they said that its really hard to deal with homesick missing their families because they will stay in a place that is far to their family,the other people use to go with other friends with the same nationality to lessen that homesick.

I am away from my family now because I already moved to my husband's country. I do miss them but since I am already with my new family, it isn't as difficult as it is like when I was working in another country away from everybody else. I usually make sure that I am always online since we live in different time zones. That way, I will never miss any messages from them and I can even chat and talk to them when they chanced upon me on my free time. I also made new friends that I can hang out with on days that I am off work.
