A loss may make you doubt if anyone hears your prayers. Affliction of the soul seeks comfort, peace and a friend. God wants you to reach out to him for answers and hope.

“But to You I have cried out, O’Lord, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.”
Psalm 88:13

“You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,” Psalm 10:17
