Oh this is hard, and I've struggled with similar, over the last year of mourning the end of a very important relationship and also trying to get pregnant via invasive medical assistance.
One thing that works for me is keeping a private gcal with "ping so-and-so" as recurring events. So every 12th of the month, I get a reminder to check in with my former college roommate and ask her what's going on in her life. And every third saturday I'm reminded to leave comment on the latest blog post by one of the few wiscon people I'm still in touch with. It keeps me engaged with what's going on in people's lives even if we can't see each other very often. It doesn't, however, actually get me out of the house and seeing local friends.
