I feel like...all I can do is cope with life now. I don't see what there is to look forward to, or to take reassurance in. Everything just seems empty.

Your feeling is entirely appropriate. On atheism there is no grounds for having hope. You simply have the life you appear to have now, and when it is over...you are over. Nothing that you say, do, or feel has any ultimate meaning or significance. If I somehow found myself an atheist, I can imagine myself feeling much the same way. Knowing myself, I would likely end up killing myself through destructive addictive behavior, probably by way of the abuse of alcohol and use of prostitutes. Thankfully, I'm free from that kind of existence as a Christian. I would invite you to reconsider the truth of theism and Christianity in particular.
