Interesting question...
Personally, I've thrown out God, Afterlife, Demons , anything supernatural. There's no need to be afraid of the dark.
Here we are, in a perfectly natural and immense universe. There's no 'big meaning' to life.. it's just that we have evolved as meaning-giving life-forms. Language is the prime example of the signifying that makes us human.
So give meaning then! Signify! Every minute! What I mean is: research all you can, read a book per day, immerse yourself in Art, develop an ethical code, help less fortunate human beings, study philosophy: inscribe your meaning in the stars.
And at the end.. your reaction should be like Nietzsche's Zarathustra: It has been a great ride.. let's do it again! (his philosophy of eternal recurrence.. every action has eternal meaning)
Note that this is something different than hedonism

I have to agree with Deus' post - you give your life meaning. There's no gods or demons, just us in this incredible universe. We should make the most of that, in as many ways as possible.
Art, music, family, friends, good work done well, sex, food, wine - make your life as rich as possible.
