Lost all my work

A few weeks ago my iPad got stuck in a boot loop due to low storage and wouldn’t turn on. My work wasn’t backed up to the cloud (thanks executive dysfunction) so I didn’t want to factory reset it.

Turns out the chips in the iPad were fried and I’ve lost everything. I have some work in my emails but all old non school pieces going back years and all WIPs are all gone. I’m so distraught and I don’t know how to handle it.
