Life can be cruel at times but the more you get attached to something or someone the more you will feel pain later on when this attachment end.
So it is much better not to get so attached in the first place.
We are like grains of sand in the beach.
We may stick together for sometime but as the high tide come we are scattered all over the place.
The old relationship is gone and something new appear.
The only way out this cruelly would be to see in everything and everyone the one behind this creation but as far as your atheism is concern there is no way you can sort out this problem easily.
All the best anyway.
