SADNESS DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF A LOVED ONE

Today I want to share with you the feeling called sadness and for this we will initially define it as an emotion contrary to happiness and joy, in other words it is that feeling of affliction and depression as a consequence of certain external and internal factors.
A month and a few days ago I am experiencing this unpleasant feeling, because I had to see how my younger sister (29 years old) along with her husband and son had to separate from our family, as a result of the strong economic crisis that currently exists in my native country Venezuela. They had to emigrate to the neighboring country Colombia and that news was totally devastating for all of us, because we have always considered ourselves a very united family and we had never had to separate so many meters away from each other.
Well, during our professional training we had to go out of town to the cities but we were relatively close and we saw each other from time to time (15 days). This time it has been more difficult since they are relatively farther away and the current economy does not lend itself to seeing each other frequently.
Even though she is my younger sister and I am the oldest in my parents' marriage, the union between the two of us has always been very special, because my baby girl as we call her at home is very mature for her age, and I am not ashamed to say that her maturity is at a higher level than my own. More than my sister is my confidant and advisor at all times has been with me in the good and bad times of life supporting me unconditionally and giving me words of encouragement to help me overcome that bitter pill that I am going through.
Undoubtedly, my baby is a very important person in my life and her absence has left a great sadness and a void that only she can fill again.
We are a very close family and we always take advantage of special occasions such as birthdays, holidays and more to share as a family and thus continue to strengthen our union.
Yesterday we celebrated my dad's birthday and in previous years the ones in charge of organizing the food and the event in particular have always been the two of us, because as she has always said if it is about enjoying with the family our disposition is always the order of the day, this time she was not there and we felt her absence, nothing was the same we could say that she also represents the soul of the family reunions in the company of my favorite brother in law as I always tell her, both are very witty and are always at the forefront trying to enlighten us with something to have fun and make this time of sharing as enjoyable as possible and we can not forget my little prince (my nephew), who at only 16 months old is an expert dancer and with his madness and tremendous always has us all in expectation.
Another person who has also found it difficult to cope with this information has been my mother, she lived day by day with my sister and my nephew and every day she cries for her and that has my baby very worried, she thinks that our mother may get sick from so much sadness. I tell her mommy don't cry so much, the baby has not died, time flies by and she will be back with us soon, since their plans are to be there for a year and a half and then return with us. It has not been easy for them either the distance that has been given but it is a great effort that will certainly reap great rewards.
Even when I myself give her that advice I also cry for her and we talk to each other every day, I can't get used to not having her here near me and being able to give her a kiss and a hug of those very comfortable hugs that with the simple fact of feeling them gave me the necessary strength to continue when I was in a problem situation and even more if she was going to be there by my side shoulder to shoulder not to let me faint.
I can only hope that it will be less than 15 months before she returns again to continue to brighten our lives as she has done in these 29 years of life. I LOVE YOU LITTLE FRIEND OF MY LIFE AND I WILL NEVER STOP TELLING YOU SO @silgeiram29

Hello @sidalim88!
Thank you for sharing part of your family's experiences. Certainly moving away from loved ones produces a great sadness and even more in these times and in this country where even to visit in other states is very expensive. However, you have to keep hope, faith and courage so that other people can also cope with being away from you and support you in your decision.
Greetings my friend @sidalim88.
It is very sad to live the absence of a loved one, to say goodbye when we never know if we are going to see him/her again, to have to resign ourselves to only hear his/her voice on the phone, is to live a feeling of grief and depression every day.
Greetings and thank you for sharing your article.
