I have been missing my dad after he passed away and it is quite natural that I do experience it. It might feel too much beyond what I can handle but looking through the practical aspect of life , he had to go someday or the other and with each phase of my life be it sorrow or happiness, I prefer to take it as a lesson for tomorrow. And there is no forgetting the person completely, we can try to make the person as a positive aspect in our life rather than bringing negativity

Yes, it is very normal to miss the feeling of missing someone. When you experience it, you should try to recollect the best memories you have with that person, but in case you don't want to remember that person, then you should do something that you enjoy or something that makes you lost in time.

I don't know if who and what you are referring to but If you're feeling that way i guess it's beyond normal, we are just human. I myself missed my family who passed everyday and it didn't stop but handled myself well to balance even it hurts. You is your only key.

Sometimes missing someone can be the only feeling we are focused with. We are so busy missing the person, that we almost forget our other emotions, so when this feeling that have taken over, suddenly disappears, we can feel alittle empty so it would be normal to miss that feeling of being full of a emotion. Pluss missing someone is considered very romantic and lovely, there was an while era dedicated to that.

It is very normal to miss some one or some thing whom or that we loved and/ or been familiar with, until this feeling is persistent and begins affecting other aspects of our daily functioning (i.e., work and social.) Away from home once, I missed my grandmother and mother very badly. I did not ever stop missing them until I was back home at their side. During that period, it helped to distract myself with goals or something to focus on & I would regularly journal my feelings and perspectives, and reflect later on. Also, reading, hanging out with a good company of friends and party-ing helped :) However, if the feeling does seriously get in your way, consider reading up on credible psychological sources which may guide you to specific psychological exercises which you can do by yourself to help you feel better or seek professional help - if you can't afford the ones in private practice, consider reaching out to the public systems. Don't let this feeling eat you up :)

Its very normal. Theres a guy in my life who doesn't talk to me anymore even though we were the most amazing friends. somehow we have become strangers with memories and nothing but. Missing someone is normal. if it's a relationship sort of hardship- trying to get close to that person again if you somehow drifted apart is a good option. however, if the person was harmful or abuse, remember that they could have ruined you if you had stayed with them. Missing a loved one who has passed on is a difficult thing. not remembering them makes you feel bad and so does remembering them. at times like those, religion is always something to turn to- as it is always there, and religion can always give you hope and reason.

Depending on how you lost the individual and how long you had missed them, not missing them can feel like a void in your life. This is completely normal, and you may end up thinking of them from time to time and miss them again, but it is OK to move forward and allow yourself to not miss them any more.

I think that's completely normal. A feeling of grief or longing can potentially become addictive, so one should approach it as any other addiction, with caution.

The way I dealt with it was getting to the root of why I miss missing that specific someone, why those traits are important to me, and if I need someone to replace that person. Most of the time, a replacement will only worsen things. Try to figure out why you miss the feeling. Once you figure that out, you'll realize the root of the problem is within your personality and you can then overcome it easily. It's pretty common to feel like this so don't feel like you're alone.
