It is hard at first to leave one's comfort zone of religion. I struggled to make sense of the world after abandoning Christianity, because my identity and world view were wrapped up in it.
For some former believers, it's a quick easier break, but for some, it's a process. Let yourself feel what you feel. Post your feelings here if this is your only outlet to talking with like minded people. Most of my atheist friends have been atheists all of their lives, so when I was going through a sort of transitioning phase, they didn't understand really. They were comforting but they didn't fully understand.
Be patient with the process and know that it may take you some time to "figure it all out." I was a Christian up until about four years ago, so I understand what you are going through.
In the long run, I think you'll see how much happier you will be. :-)
