It is the worst feeling in the world that the only person who would be able to help me through this is the person I am mourning. I miss my fiance more than anything, and I am so incredibly lonely. I have family and others around me offering to give support but it is mainly empty words; "I am here for you" - no you're not. They would not be there for me if I had explained every little thing on my mind, all the hardships I have gone through all year. None of them have any clue what I went through and they would never understand. Nobody can understand the what is going through my head when at 19 I'm helping my fiance go to the toilet and wiping him, I'm spoon feeding him, I'm checking him for pressure sores. They will pretend to understand but they most likely never even begin to understand it.
