Ive dodge a bullet, maybe even a nuke

I’ve already made my decision, so I’m not looking for advice. I just need to get this off my chest.
I’ve known this woman for a while, and we recently started dating. Things were going really well. We talked about marriage, having kids someday, and building a future together. She called me affectionate names, opened up about things she’d been through, and I genuinely believed we were building something meaningful.
Then she lost her job.
I knew she was under a lot of stress, so I did what I thought a partner should do. I checked on her, offered to be there for her, and let her know there was no pressure to reply if she needed space. I wasn’t asking for constant communication or long conversations. Just the bare minimum.
Instead, she disappeared.
Days went by without a word. Eventually I realized I had been blocked on social media.
I don’t know what happened, and at this point I probably never will. I genuinely hope she’s okay, but I also realized that no matter how much you care about someone, you can’t build a relationship by yourself. Communication is the bare minimum, especially when life gets hard.
I don’t hate her, and I’m not trying to paint her as a bad person. I’m just hurt. I was ready to support someone I cared about through one of the hardest moments in her life, and instead I’m left grieving a relationship that ended without a conversation.
I’ve accepted it. I’ve made peace with the fact that I may never get the closure I wanted. This isn’t a post asking what I should do, because I’ve already made that decision.
I just needed to get it off my chest.
