I'm shocked about missing daughter wanting to see family (8)
I believe the answer is:
homesick
If this is the answer I cannot explain how the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for homesick that I've seen before include "I shock me (anag.)" , "Nostalgic" , "Missing one's normal environment" , "Unhappy away" , "Feeling sadness when away from family etc" .)
