I’ve lost the woman of my dreams

I’m a 27M and I’ve been in love with my dream woman for 3 years. We initially worked together and had a great working relationship, once we were both made redundant she confessed that she’d cheated on her long term fiancée and whilst consoling her she kissed me. Fast forward two years and her engagement ends and we start to date. Things were going well until her car broke - I don’t drive so her car was the only way we could see each other - we hadn’t seen each other in months but still spoke every day, unbeknownst to me her family had some awful news and she’d been increasingly distant over the last month or so, I noticed she was distant but never asked why as I was afraid of the answer. In a long paragraph in the early hours of the morning she explained what had happened and that she needed to take a step away from the relationship to concentrate fully on supporting her family. I’ve told her I will wait for her but she’s insisting that she can’t let me wait as it would be unfair. I’ve already waited two years and now I fear its all over and I’m broken inside - I can’t bear the thought of her not being in my life and I don’t know what to do - last question I asked was if there was no chance of us ever being together, left unanswered as of yet
