I loved my husband dearly, but he was an addict, and terribly abusive."

pellPeople just don't get it, do they?
I have been going to the same church since 1984. Everyone knows me, and likes me, i reckon, but still, i feel like I don't really have any friends, beyond a few "hey" friends. My.husband was an alcoholic, so we had no couple friends, and I guess I'm not cool, like the other Moms in the church. But I just want to tell them sometimes, "Don't you know??". "Don't you get it?" Loneliness sucks. =(

"My husband died June 7th. Ironically enough, the Dr put me on Restasis, for chronic dry eyes. The box says "should increase your body's tear production". Funny, I thought being a Widow did that."
