The truth is: Mentally healthy people often don't see a big meaning in their life either. However, they can enjoy the little pleasures in life. They set goals for themselves and derive their own meaning from them.
Being able to enjoy everyday things seems like such a little thing, like a tiny piece in a puzzle. And yet, without that tiny piece, people can break.
The people around you feel this, that you're just missing a tiny puzzle piece (from their point of view) to lead a happy life again. That's why they want to keep you on this earth. Because it'd be a shame to give up on that big game we call life just because you can't find one piece right now.
It might be the only game you'll ever get to play.

Not to be mean, but - you are telling us what mentally healthy people see as pertaining to their overall view of life - how can you tell us this if you yourself are not mentally healthy?
Like I said I am not trying to be rude nor argumentative. I am open to the possibility there is a valid answer to my question. I would just like an answer - even if only in pm.
Thanks.
