Feeling Lost After My Dua Wasn't Answered

Salaams, I really need some support right now. I’ve been making so much dua for someone dear to me. Since December, I’ve been waking up for Tahajjud almost daily, pouring my heart out in every prayer. I held onto so much hope-everyone around me did too, because things seemed like they were turning around. But then yesterday, we got the news and it wasn’t just that my dua wasn’t accepted; it was literally the worst outcome possible. My heart is completely broken. I tried everything, truly. I made dua when breaking my fast, on Laylatul Qadr, I said istighfar repeatedly, I read Surah Al-Baqarah, and I even followed all those suggestions people share online, like the ‘dua sandwich’ and other tips. I even reached out to creators online to ask them to make dua too. And after all that… this happens. It feels like all those hours of sincere begging went to waste. I just feel an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. I know Allah has accepted my duas in the past-I still remember some things I prayed for years ago that came through-but this situation has left me feeling crushed. I don’t even have the energy to make dua anymore; it feels pointless right now (astaghfirullah, I know I shouldn’t say that). I’ve been crying nonstop since yesterday and have no one to turn to. Please, if anyone has advice or kind words, I really need them.
