Saudade, a borrowed word (from the Portuguese--European) but probably would not be widely understood. I would not use it. I cannot think of another.
From the Collins online dictionary:
Saudade New Word Suggestion this Portuguese word “refers to the feeling of longing for something or someone that you love and which is lost.” Eg:Fado music, a type of mournful singing, relates to saudade.
