grammar - Use of a clause without coordinating conjunction


As shown above, he misses someone mysterious, whoever that is, which

confirms to us that the feeling is not happiness nor depression, it is
emptiness.




It is a sentence from an essay my friend wrote, and I think putting "it is emptiness" without any coordinating conjunction would be seriously wrong, but he was saying things like independent clause and dependent clause so I could not quite get him. The one I suggested him was this:




As shown above, he misses someone mysterious, whoever that is, which
confirms to us that the feeling not happiness nor depression is actually
emptiness.





But he said it is not very grammatical. Which one of these sentences is correct then?
