How to get back voided mileages

Dear All,
Affected by the epidemic, I did not fly on Lufthansa and its alliance airlines for 3 years, my Lufthansa mileage of 320 000 miles was all forfeited in April, and I wrote twice to their office and requested for an exception, but it did not work out. Do you have any recommendations to ideas how I can get them back?

Thanks in advance!
Christina

LH miles are canceled 3 years after earning. Flying with them does not extend the life of the miles.
Only Status (any except Blue) or some Credit cards do extend the life of the miles. You could have used them for other things than flights (with a terrible exchange rate, but better than nothing). Booking a flight just before expiry date would work out. If you cancel it, your have then a short time-window to re-use them.

It is a pity, but I see no way to get them back.
