Feelings of loneliness and emptiness certainly can come from
a an empty spiritual state, missed prayers,
faith that isn't complete, but it can also come from a
misunderstanding about how we define ourselves. You want to be
careful that you're not self identifying yourself as only being
valuable if you're attached to a man, your value is not equal to
the men in your life. Your value is equal to the person you are,
the kind of person you are in your relationship with God, with Allah.

to become friends with yourself and become a an amateur law a
devotee of Allah.
