Also known as "migratory grief", this term refers to the emotion associated with missing home country caused by migration. Although privileges such as a better life in the destination country status might alleviate the experience, they do not guarantee the absence of pain.
After moving to the U.S. for a job opportunity, I often feel a wave of migratory mourning for my home in Mexico, especially during family holidays.
