My husband was in America for 10 yrs and then decided he wanted to move back to Ireland. So we did, just over a year ago.. I'm very close to my parents and have always been, when we moved I was a mere three miles away from them. I'm now in Ireland and just 3km away from his parents, but it's just not the same. I find myself very homesick.. and although I still talk to my parents just about everyday, I find myself sometimes avoiding the phone calls as I'm scared i might breakdown while on the phone with them.. I love it here in Ireland, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to get through the difficult times of being homesick?

It takes a long time to get over that kind of homesickness. Over time it does become easier. I know because at first when I moved from home it was terribly difficult but over time it has become a bit easier to deal with. Most important is to keep busy during those times. If there is any way that you can visit more often to your home that would be a good idea as well. It helps to have something to look forward to. If you arrange a trip home, then you will always have that to look forward to during your time away.

To be honest, I've never felt that way.. but I imagine it is best to keep yourself occupied.. not on the internet but in real life. Get to know as many people in the neighbourhood as possible, drink a lot of guiness and you'll be fine! I would definitely stay in contact with your family though.. with something like voipcheap or skype.. you can spend hours talking to them for none or little cost. You can always fly back cheapily to visit them (depending on where you were in America) with flyglobespan as well.

It is difficult but not impossible, it need time to get settle... by the time you will feel good, just try to be busy ..

being busy everyday can help you to overcome homesickness.

I had felt that when we moved here in the US but i always consider that i have already my own family so i must stay with them.I don't have any family left except a niece, relatives and few close friends that i considered my family.I miss them very much but my own family is my first priority.Perhaps you culd just think the same and then maybe plan a vacation to visit them.
