I think it means that she grew up alone, and by the end:

"Oh who would inhabit

This bleak world alone?"

She finally was "adopted" by the Xiao-Longs, and finally had a friend, Yang.

I'm not very great at finding meaning in things that aren't blatantly obvious, but I felt that I'd chip in. Actually, you made a good point. Interpereting it to mean she grew up alone then finally found friends in the Xiao-Longs makes far more sense than the (for whatever reason, I consider the very idea kind of implausible) theories that It means everyones gonna die
