Bridging the Miles: Staying Close to Loved Ones Far Away

Are you working away from your family, longing for the comfort of their company? Perhaps a business trip has taken you far from your loved ones, leaving a void that's hard to fill. If distance is creating a strain on your relationships, know that you're not alone. Millions of families worldwide are separated due to work demands, a reality that's become increasingly common in our globalized economy. In fact, a 2019 study by the Migration Policy Institute estimated that there were 16.5 million migrant workers in the United States alone who were living apart from their spouses and/or children. 

But here's the good news: with a little effort and the right tools, it's entirely possible to not only survive but thrive in a long-distance relationship.
