Going Through a Long Trial and Seeking Hope

Assalamu alaikum. I'm really trying my best to stay patient and trust Allah's plan, knowing this is a test. Alhamdulillah, I do have blessings I'm grateful for, but lately, life feels completely stuck. I keep reminding myself that everything happens for a reason and Allah will replace my struggles with something better, but just when a glimmer of hope appears, it vanishes. Since a deeply painful event, nothing seems to move forward. I tell myself maybe Allah is teaching me sabr, but in my duas, I've been honest: I don't want more patience right now, I just want to be happy. Yet it's like my path is blocked. I even say, "Ya Allah, I don't want to lose hope in You, so please don't test me further," but it feels as if Allah is gently saying, "You can overcome anything, let Me show you." Does anyone have stories of things finally turning around after years of hardship from many directions? Jazakum Allahu khairan.
