A feeling like homesickness and nostalgia combined- a sadness for something gone, missing what someone used to be like; what feeling is this?

I'm not sure, but it sounds like loneliness. :( Wanna talk about what you're feeling in more detail?

I'm doing research now. There's hypophrenia which is a feeling of sadness without a cause?

Monachopsis is the subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place?

Saudade is a rather fitting description of what you've descripted.
"The state of mind has subsequently become a "Portuguese way of life": a constant feeling of absence, the sadness of something that's missing, wishful longing for completeness or wholeness and the yearning for the return of that now gone, a desire for presence as opposed to absence"

This song, the middle part, gives me the feeling.
