Schismonolstagia

[hengruh]

A new word I just made up: "schismonolstagia" ...the feeling of homesickness for more than one place ...like when you move to a place far from home, and you are homesick for home...but then you develop new roots there and that becomes "home" for many years...and then you have to move again, and you become split more and more with each move...

How about a word for when you're homesick for a place that doesn't exist any more, like woods that have been bulldozed or a house that has been demolished?

Well there is a word I didn't make up, but seems to apply: "Solastalgia - Place-based distress that is delivered from the lived experience, within a home environment, of unwelcome environmental change, as compared to nostalgia: (in "Placeways")
