Tina, I'm so sorry you are feeling alone and abandoned. That is one of the worst things - feelings of isolation. I can't imagine you've done anything wrong. The people you e-mail to who don't respond may be thinking about you very much but don't get around responding for one reason or another. It doesn't mean you haven't touched their lives or that they don't care.
The internet connections here are real - the people here are real. I see how much everyone on this board helps each other, and you *do* make a contribution here.
It does sound like you need some more "live" human contact now that your husband is out of the picture. As a first crack, are there any support groups near you that you'd like to join? Is there any one person at work you think is worth trying to cultivate a deeper friendship with? Do you like yoga....? Some sort of class like that would serve dual purpose of being healthy and surrounding you with other cool people. Just a few randmon thoughts.
I know it feels to you like you will always be alone. I awake many mornings feeling that way and it sure does feel real. But we have to keep reminding ourselves that it isn't necessarily going to be that way. Because I know of more than a few people who's lives turned around when they least expected it.
Hang on tight, keep posting and let us know how you're doing. You are most certainly alive and you certainly matter.
