Has Your Spirit Felt Different After Hajj?

Assalamu alaikum, I wanted to reach out to those who performed Hajj recently or in the past-did it truly transform your heart? Do you feel a special lightness or a unique joy afterward? I always heard it changes you. My father shared how he experienced a distinct happiness after his Hajj, and I was hoping for the same. But I don’t feel anything, and it worries me. Did I do it properly? Was my Hajj accepted? I made many duas for my life to improve. Right after returning, my beloved cat of 12 years died, and it was so painful. My focus shifted from Hajj to my cat’s illness and loss, because he got sick while I was away and passed away two days after I got back. Maybe that’s why I’m not feeling positive about Hajj? I went with my husband and in-laws, and though overall it was okay, there were small tensions that I took to heart. I’m not sure why I’m sharing all this, but it bothers me that I don’t feel what I expected. I’m desperately hoping my duas are answered, as it’s been five days since I returned and I’m feeling quite lost.
