Hmmmm, I don't have any easy answers. I suppose the trick would be to find a place to possibly meet some friends. Maybe through work, the gym, mutual interest groups?? I'm sorry for your situation, but do think that knowing you want friends is really good. I think if you work at it you can find some. I hope so at least.
One last thought, have you considered joining some kind of support group? While it's not necessarily "friends" in the typical sense it is support. There are many options in most communities.
