'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!
