'Disconsolately' is an adverb, and it describes a state of great unhappiness. Its root is 'console,' and it is essentially the adverb form of 'inconsolable.'

For example, you could use it like this:

"The cat's lifeless body was heavy in Tina's arms as she wept disconsolately."

Its closest synonyms would be miserably, sorrowfully, etc. - but keep in mind that disconsolately represents a state of sadness that the subject can not be cheered up from. You cannot say that someone is disconsolate and then have them recover after a little heart-to-heart!

As he looks out at the vast expanse of water, he feels that the ocean is like an impenetrable wall blocking any hope the boys have of escaping the island. Simon, however, lifts Ralph's spirits by reassuring him that he will make it home.
