I think the answer is
Dedicate
My prefix lost a life.
Ded sounds like "dead"
My suffix had a meal.
Ate
My infix has a life.
Cat (some say it has nine).
My whole is a big deal.
To dedicate means to devote something, which is a big deal
Hint
"perseverance" suggests dedication which is what lead me to this guess.

1$\begingroup$ @Stiv, yes, me too, that was one of the main things that made me doubt this answer. I was tempted o go for "I, cat" for dramatic effect. $\endgroup$– hexominoAug 10, 2020 at 22:23
