What do you do when you pray but things get even worse?

It is almost as if things get worse the more you pray about them. Especially things that have to do with health and sickness. My mom lost 3 cousins this year. For one of them I prayed like a dog, and he got worse and died. There was another woman who I prayed for that had complications after her surgery, she also got worse and died. I am honestly scared of praying now cause what if it makes it worse

What you do is... keep praying. 

Try to pray about the situation rather than for a particular outcome. I mean, you are praying for the sick person, holding that person in your heart and mind, presenting her/him to God as an act of charity, and we can certainly petition God for what we think would be best in this situation. But what we think is best is not necessarily what God thinks is best. Which is why I always end my prayers with "your will be done" followed by a Glory Be.
