Very natural.
When the war came (simple past) to an end, my family had lost (past perfect) everything.
The war came to an end (viewed as a completed action in the past) and before that the family had lost everything (a completed action during a period of time up to end of the war).

I would just suggest, "By the time the war had come to an end my family had lost everything.'

Sorry, can't agree with Denis. His suggestion needs a change in tense for both parts.
.
The version you quoted is more to the point and impactful than even the fully version suggested by Tracy.
... my... <-- lower case
