Deciding to change and get out of  the comfort zone it is not an easy task. Individual who try to emigrate often feel doubts, feel lonely due to being left behind by friends, facing cornering questions and comments. This research was conducted to find out the well-being emigrate women caused by gratitude and social support, using 200 young mothers who decided to Hijrah. The questionnaires for measuring subjective well-being using Flourishing Scale by Diener, Oishi, et al., (2009) and SPANE (Scale of Positive and Negative Experience) by Diener, Wirtz, et al., (2009), gratitude using GRAT (The Gratitude Resentment and Appreciation Test) by Watkins et al., (2003), and social support using MSPSS (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support) by Dahlem et al., (1991). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to test the validity of each item in the questionnaire. Data analysis technique used in this study is multiple regression analysis (multiple regression analysis) of SPSS for windows.
