Homesick

By Venable, Lyn

Homesick is a feeling of longing or nostalgia for one's home, family and familiar surroundings. It can be triggered by changes in living conditions, separation from loved ones, or being in a new and unfamiliar environment. Homesickness can cause feelings of sadness, loneliness, and discomfort, but it is a natural and common experience that can be overcome with support and adjustment.
