You'll get used to the homesickness like one gets used to bereavement, you learn to live with it.....welcome to the UK

Not necessarily disagreeing mate. It's a personal thing for me.
Within the past 4 years I've lost my mother, my sister, my brother and this year my father.
I can say for me, being the only surviving member of my closest family unit and all those memories, I am finding it much much more difficult to handle.

Sorry to mention that but it just caught my attention and it helps me to reach out with my feelings.

No offence intended. But emotions impact different people in different ways.

Sorry no offence intended, Terpe ...my dark humour isn't to everyones taste...my wife included

I lost my dad 4 years ago..I was there when it happened...then he was buried on my birthday.

I was just making light of homesickness...my wife still desperately misses home, even more so now with the 2 babies and no help and support.....still, we are coping.

I miss most having just a good conversation with someone, not just the hi, how are you kind. It helps that my kids are here with me but it just feels like we're in isolation most of the time. It doesn't help that hubby likes it that way. :(

Youre lucky to have your kids with you. I left my 4 year old girl back in Davao to come here in the UK. It always breaks me heart thinking im miles away from her and the family but I aint got no choice at the moment. We got loads of circumstances to sort out first before I can take here here. Phew.

Novie, set me a date and time and place when you're free to meet. Left you a message here yesterday, you must not have read it. Looking forward to meeting you.

Sorry to hear about that Terpe. Hope you feel better.

I am homesick everyday as a matter of fact but I tried hard to keep me self busy so it wont affect my everyday living here in the UK. It didnt reach to the point that I cried me eyes out, though.
I think, it depends on how the person can handle homesickness and it needs time to get used and get settled.
