I sympathize with all the difficulty you're going through. Really, you have a great opportunity now to live a thoughtful, introspective and solitary existence. Try to fill your days with the kind of fun, creative things you used to feel like you had no time for. Spend time reading, writing, reaching out to old friends, take up a new artistic hobby. Get a kitten. :) Enjoy the quiet!
I had the realization the other day that I've never lived alone. Ever. I went from my parents' house, to being married, to having children. Then, they grew up and I became single. It's a bizarre feeling to realize that!
But good advice, Ellen! I'm still sorting it out. I need to make more friends and bring some people closer in, fill the silence with new laughter.
