How do YOU cope with loneliness?

Let's roleplay for a moment:

You have a huge, gaping void in your life. You wake up miserable, you go to bed miserable. It hurts a great deal, but you can't make the pain go away (assuming you oppose suicide).

You're lonely, but there's nothing you can do about it. Everywhere you go, there are constant reminders that love exists and couples DO get together and are happy, but you're certainly not among them. Heck, you know you never will be.

You go home and cry yourself to sleep, only to awaken with the same horrible aftertaste of loneliness in your heart. You complain, but it does no good. You wish that you'd stop caring and become stoic to the point where being alone does not bother you, but it always does. You so dearly desire companionship, yet it always eludes you.

You're at the point where you'd sooner welcome the embrace of sweet Lady Death than you would go to bed alone one more night. You grow weary of waiting for something you know will never come.

So, my question is this, how do you cope with this neverending demon on your back called 'loneliness'?

When I am alone I take that time to meditate.
