You are going to miss people. That happens. call them every now and again. Visit them when you can. Just because you move away doesn’t mean the line of communication is completely severed.
My family, or what’s left of it, is a 12 hour plane ride away and I always make a holiday of it. Visit a new city in the US and then head over to their area for two weeks. Say hi, catch up, and have a good time. But at the end of the day, I’m reminded why I left.
Other than that, there isn’t much you can do. If you visit for the holidays when you can, call when you can, and still really want to be around them, expat life may not be for you.
