['My husband passed away last year and with my kids out of the house, its often eerily quiet.', 'That does sound lonely. Do you have friends to turn to?', "I do have a few close friends that I'm very grateful for.  Its just the evening hours that get to me the most."]
Well thats good. If you can find a hobby to occupy those evenings that would be best.
