I'm so sorry. Life is so lonely sometimes, and losing someone who eases that loneliness just makes it seem all the more stark.
Your friends *do* care about you. Lots of things influence internet time and response. Can you call one of your friends?
Do you experience being able to hold onto your husband? Not in any mystical sense. But in that you can remember his caring and bring that memory up as a comfort? I still have long conversations with Daddy, and while it's not the same of course, it can be comforting. And the father I keep in my mind is my father at his best. Although I do have a tendency to interrupt my thoughts to laugh and remember what he was more likely to have answered.
It's not enough of course. But I find it helps some, and I hope you have that comfort too.
