How do you handle leaving family behind to move abroad?

Hey all, long time lurker here
My partner and I have been tossing around the idea of moving to Japan for over two years, but we keep stalling.

The biggest hang up is leaving family behind. Thinking about being across the world from my parents, brothers for a year or more feels selfish.

They’re not getting any younger, and I’m worried I’d regret missing that time with them.
Anyone been in a similar spot?
