Do lots of stuff together now, and hang out, and appreciate being around them.
Of course, this is the 21st century, so you won't be completely cut off from them.
You'll be talking to them and emailing them frequently -- especially at first.
You might also consider writing actual letters. If someone writes back, you can keep up a correspondence. It's way cool to get real letters.
It will feel bad at first, and funny, and strange, and exhilarating, and scary, all at the same time.
But as you settle in to your new place, and get to know people, and do stuff there, it gets easier.
If it's school you're going to (you don't say), a lot of your fellow students will be in the same position, which brings you together.
Also, you'll learn that not everyone feels about their families as you do, and you'll appreciate your own family even more.
With all the newness, time passes quickly, and before you know it, you'll be going home for a visit.
There's nothing you can do to not feel the sad and scary feelings; just recognize that they'll go away with time.
At first, your head will be filled with home and family stuff. Then, as your live unfolds in the new place, your head gets filled with all that.
So give yourself time.
Keep in touch -- I bet they'll be missing you, too, and will love to hear from you.
(It's nice to come from a real family, isn't it? A LOT of people don't; they come from a collection of unconnected people. Enjoy the fact that you have the Real Deal.)

I moved to Japan for a year. I took pictures with me. Use calling cards, email a lot. But try to get some new friends and a life going where you are moving to. After the second month I didn't feel so homesick. Distance is only relative. Save up money so you can come back and visit. Good luck!

My son joined the Air force and has been gone now for 6 months. We miss him terribly. Stay in touch by phone, emails, and go home when ever possible. All birdies must leave the nest some time. It is hard at first but as time goes by you will appreciate and treasure family more then you did when you were around them everyday.

It is natural to miss seeing your family daily. However, you can email, or IM each day. Make sure your cell phone plan is a good one so calling home doesn't cost much.
We just moved my mom from her long time home and installed Vonage so that she could keep her long time phone number, it works great. She did not have to update her number with anyone and Vonage does not have long distance fees.
Also, use a service like shutterfly to upload fun pictures of daily events so everyone can see what is going on too.
Dont worry, your mom will love to hear from you 10 time a day.

Start looking up friends, activities and other things interesting in the place you're moving to. Cause in the long run, your adjustment to your environment will have a large affect on whether or not you'll be homesick. Get involve in a church, a circle of friends or a community service helps too.
Also set up a support system or a sort of 'check' point to help you stay connected. Something like calling your mom on Mondays and telling her about your week.

Make sure you spend as much time now with them as possible. Take plenty of pictures and collect everyone's email address. There is no reason to miss anyone nowadays cuz communication has come so far! A quick IM, email, or download of pics can cure a homesick person quick. Before you know it, you'll be hanging out with new friends and it won't be so bad.

It isn´t so difficult you´re in the same country. You might even see/hear from them more than usual. Family distance worked for me. They usually interfere with domestic issues.
