Can you do live video, like face time, etc? I know it's not the same, but you can visit in person maybe 4 times a year, right? And combine that with video calling and it helps. It isn't going to get better for a bit, but I'm sure you felt like you could take the separation levels or you wouldn't have moved so far? Idk. And a little goes a long way - maybe you could do a five minute video call with your closest friends. That probably doesn't seem like much, but for longer than just a few minutes is asking for others to change their lives too.
