38 Consoling Quotes About Missing The Ones You Love
"You know someone is very special to you when days just don’t seem right without them."
Leah Hall
Luis Alvarez
We can all agree that for many of us, this year brought us closer to home and yet further away from friends and family than ever before. Even friends that live in the same city felt far away as we sheltered in place. For some of us, we are also dealing with great loss—loss of a family member, co-worker, friend, or favorite person in our world. The longing and the missing is palpable as we count down the months since we've last seen our parents or been able to travel freely to see friends far away. Thankfully we have wise words, like these quotes, our grief quotes, and uplifting verses to strengthen us during these times— help us sort out how we feel and get a sense that we are not alone in our experience. Another glimmer of hope in all of this is the ability to reach out to our loved ones through technology. While never the same as a big squeeze from your Aunty, it fills the hole of our homesickness for that person for just a little bit. Until we can hopefully see them again one day. And if we can't, we can know that even the thought of them and the living a full life honors their memory.
