Resumen
When a member of the family system makes the decision to migrate, regardless of the
reasons, it affects the families that are waiting. In this process, families experience various
emotions that trigger affective losses. For this reason, the general objective was to analyze the
affective losses and communication strategies of families with migrant children, as well as to
identify the emotions, experiences and describe the communication strategies created by
transnational families. The research was based on an inductive method, with a non-experimental
design, approached from a qualitative approach, with an exploratory scope and had a study
group made up of 4 transnational families from the community of San Pedro. Parents and
siblings of migrants, selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, were interviewed.
The results showed that affective losses are a multifaceted process that is associated with
experiencing emotions and these lead to behavioral changes linked to a grieving process in
transnational families. Similarly, they seek to redistribute and structure themselves through
communication strategies with phases and actions related to living together on a daily basis and
seeking solutions to break the distance and feel united as a family. Finally, it is emphasized that
there are no investigations within the Santa Isabel Canton that are linked to the emotional
experiences that migration brings to families
