I live in Japan while my parents and sister live in Brazil. I think in terms of distance, it is the worst case you can get. My father in law is from here, but my mother in law lives in China. This also adds to the complexity. It is hard to go visit, tickets are twice as expensive as they were before Covid, thus only longer vacation periods make sense. You can always talk with your family through phone or video calls, but the time zone differences can get in the way of when you can do it. You can still hear what is going on with their lives and be part of it, although you will go more distant, communication is not the issue. The real problem is when people die or get sick, you cannot be there fast enough, you cannot properly support them, and they can get suddenly really busy and you don't even hear from them when the thing you most desire is to be there. You will feel responsible and blame yourself. So in order to live with that, you must have something important going on, beyond a better job with a bigger salary. It must be aligning with your own personal dreams and development, and you will only feel at home if you create some new roots.
