I think personal experience and reflection is the only way to fill that hole. It's got to be different for each person, so each person has to decide for themselves. Personally, I suffered from severe depression and struggled throughout my life to find meaning. Since I have mostly come out of my depression, I find meaning just by being happy and just enjoying the little things in life. Eventually, when I have time, I would like to help others suffering from depression as I try to do when I meet anyone who does suffer from this emotional illness. One day though, I would like to maybe even be a therapist and write a book about my experiences. This is what gives my life a higher purpose, but I've found meaning in every day life.
There is no one answer for filling that inherent hole in the human psyche other than self-reflection on one's own life. It's going to be different for each individual.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
