I have moved many times through the years, but I have enjoyed it, living in different places, my home is my husband & children, no matter the house or place.
Somehow this has been a huge adaptation. And I as well have lived all over Canada and the US and this is the first where it's been such a large adaption. It in no way is against Quebec. Yet it's different..
Yes I have. I like where I live and it is home for me now because that's where my husband and children are and we have lived most of our married life but there are times that I feel these waves of longing for the place I grew up..Of course I miss family there but it goes even deeper than that. It's the feeling and the view of looking over that mighty Great Lake Superior and it's vastness and beauty that I loved all through my childhood, I never thought I'd leave and then it is really in being so far away that I realize how much I love it up there ..more than I could have known. I'm going up for a little while starting Friday morning..can't wait!
Yes, powerful emotions are involved when you leave some things or people you love.. Things your familiar with. It's hard to fill that vacuum space which was once filled by something else. Speaking up about your feelings there could help.Warm relationships help. I think when you are far away from what you knew as home home, or a love one, that feeling of safety and love that it often so deep-seated in us that met many of our needs, I think we can feel a little homesick for to have it back. It is natural to feel this way.
Every time I go home (I still call it home even though I have another , I love as much )and visit family, I wonder if this will be the last time I will see them and that makes me a little sad, homesick to stay--sorry to have to leave. Even though I am for the most part a happy person.
I know some soldiers who miss home everyday.And who are missed. It's not always easy to handle homesickness.
Keeping in touch if possible as best as you can--I think helps. If not -- time will help ease that lose. Trying new things, getting a change of scenery and the opportunity to meet new people are all on the upside of this wonderful world we live in
Yeah it does Rashmi, I have been coming back to this on and off and it's merely a laptop but I will definitely say at this time I do agree whole hearted ly.
i miss the places, people and things that are kept in the "cedar chest" of my heart. i have lived quite a few places like ccboogie and lynne4 and there are bits and pieces of each place that i often find myself longing for, people and places that will stay in my heart and that can never be be replaced or repeated. i think i miss the relationships more than i miss the places though.
never
ReplyDeleteOf course i do ... they say home is where your heart is, but i can't tell you whom i missed. It's for my perusal only... ok. thanks. :)

ReplyDeleteI have to agree with ccboogie .... I too have moved many times ... and any house can be a home ... as long as it has heart!

ReplyDeleteI get homesick at my age and feel like a little girl away from home sometimes...it's that feeling hard to explain though I am happy here mostly

ReplyDeleteHome is where the heart is and mine is spread over many miles (and even more kilometers).
ReplyDeleteThere is a longing, but it does not correspond to any physical place.
