Ghostlonging 

The ache of wanting to share something with someone who isn’t alive anymore — a longing that feels like reaching for a ghost.
“I felt a wave of ghostlonging when I wanted to show my brother the new car I bought.”

Holidays always bring a kind of ghostlonging for the people who should be here.”

“That sudden ghostlonging makes it feel like they’re just out of reach.”
