Feeling desperate and hopeless with a constant emotional pain that I just cannot get rid off?

Ok, so I am at the lowest point in my life the pain I feel now is 100 times worse than how I felt when my father died - that was a very bad time, but I recovered after 6 months. I lost my wall street job, that I worked so hard to get, been unemployed for almost two years, abandoned by family and people I thought were friends, broken relationships and completely broke. The next step down will definitely be the grave. I just cannot envision if or how things can possibly turn around. The only time I feel any kind of relief is when I am asleep. How can one have any kind of hope when feeling this low. Is it possible that some people are just meant to live in pain? Any thoughts will be appreciated
