Hiraeth is a Welsh word used to describe a longing for home but it far exceeds the feeling of homesickness, it is much deeper than that, it's a sorrowful separation from your homeland the only remedy is to go back and only then will you feel close to peace. Paradoxically hiraeth is also tinted with a sense of loss which means that there will always be something missing, to feel hiraeth is to feel a deep incompleteness and perceive this as normality.
