Sister Moving to UK. Feeling Restless

I am kind of restless whole day. I have only one family in this city. And that's my sister. And she is kind of moving to another city. That kind of gives me some odd restless feeling. I am happy that she is moving to another country. But kind of afraid for myself with my last member in family away in another country, with less chances of coming back. I guess we will be meeting 5 year basis or even less. Have you had some of such feelings in life when your family member moves out of country forever?

@skysnap Sorry to know that. It is just a phase. You will soon get used to it and time flies, as we all know..

It can be hard to be away from family. It can be scary when family moves away. It doesn't mean you're not happy for them, but it can be scary.

I'd feel conflicted myself. But maybe you can visit her sooner than you think.

Yes, and it is really sad to see them go; but at least you can expect a happy reunion after some years.

We are planning to move to the UK. We don't have much close family left anyway so its a little bit easier.

I would be real sad to see some of my family go to another country. Certain members, however, I'd pay for them to go!

Never had anyone move out of the country but I have lost most of mine, they are no longer here.
