Going to church alone breaks my heart

Spiritual Life

Hello. Long story short; I'm the only Catholic of my family (not married, still a lady). They despise religion and refuse to attend anything important that involves my faith or God. I have friends at church which means the world to me but they all come with their family so I spend the mass alone. I'm getting confirmed next Easter and will probably be alone too. I'm grateful I go to church and met so many great people there. I absolutely feel at home during Mass. But I wish I had my family with me, specially for days of obligations and my confirmation. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have tips for loneliness?
