Heidu....
I know how you feel, like your friends are gone and there is no room,
for you in their lives.... I thought the same thing for a while about
a couple of friends, but I soon found out that they get busy but when
we are able to get together, its like we were never apart....
Your traveling friends will be back, and your friends close to home that
are distancing send them a simple hello friend card.....
Maybe they need a nudge in the right direction, unfortunately I know
that some will leave , but you have a whole bunch of friends here
who care and want to listen.... So keep talking.....

I also understand the money and work issue, I have a chronic illness
that prevents me from working full time hours , but where am I going
to find something that keeps me away from the public where I can
work a few hours a week, and not have to worry if I am too sick to
come in.... That is also why I have lost some friends because of my
illness I don't have the energy to be able to go visit them... Thats why
some people I have met on line through these support groups is
so important to me, they are there they care, and you can so almost
anything.....

Your not alone..... keep in touch
