Peony13, I can understand what you are going thru. I always had work friends and friends from school, marriage and while my kids were young and in school and sports. I found that as you grow away from your kids friends, change jobs, get divorced, etc. those friends move on to the next phase in life.
Add on top of that an illness (which often makes people uncomfortable) you lose more friends.
You must reach out to the ones that you had a true friendship with and be honest with them. Sort thru what has happened to your friendship. And you may be pleasantly surprised at the response!
At the same time, although you don't get to have coffee with them or dinner, you will find some of the greatest friends you will ever have right here!!!! People on this forum are some of the most good hearted, caring FRIENDS you will ever find!! They know what you are going thru. They have been there in one way or another!! And I have sooo many people on here that I wouldn't change for a minute to someone to just have coffee with!!! You can do that NOW!! Start chatting about LIFE (which we all want to be normal (?) ) and say, hey grab a cup of coffee or tea or even a beer in the evening, and just gab! I know it feels strange at first to type and not see the person physically, but over time you will see the person in your mind and you will be surprised at what a wonderful FRIEND you have found!!!
I'm usually available but you can always send me a pm to set up a time. Trust me. You won't regret it!!! And your day will pass quickly after the chat, with the feeling of having found a friend!!
Much Love to You!!!
Slick
