Yes, you are. I was lucky for 59 years, but then he died. I have been home all week. No one cares. This has become the new normal.

This is really more of a reply to thisismarilynb: I am truly sorry that you lost your husband of 59 years, that truly is a lifetime.
Is it really that no one cares or is everyone just so busy and tied up with their own problems?
I firmly believe that if we knew everyone's story, we would laugh and cry with everyone. Instead of telling myself no one cares, I just tell myself everyone is busy with their lives, as I once was. I had that time in the busy world and this is the slow time. Take joy in the little things, the little interactions at the store, or in line or volunteer somewhere if you are able. People DO care. They just don't know your story. Or, if they do know your story, it hits too close to home and they can't handle it. It's hard not to take things personally sometimes, but there is usually something else going on.

We care.
