Kristoff St. John’s fiancée received even more devastating news about her late husband-to-be after learning she wouldn’t be able to attend his funeral on Monday due to problems with her visa.

According to PEOPLE, Kseniya Mikhaleva, who is a Russian native and currently lives in Moscow, announced her dilemma in a lengthy post on Instagram.

“It is with deep regret and sorrow in my heart that I make this statement,” wrote Mikhaleva, who got engaged to the Young and the Restless star in September 2018.

St. John was found dead at a home in Woodland Hills on Feb. 3 after police were called for a possible alcohol overdose. He was 52. His cause of death is currently under “additional investigation” according to the Los Angeles County Coroner, E! News reported.

“For a year, I was the happiest women on Earth. That changed in a second,” Mikhaleva’s post reads. “ I still cannot believe that Kristoff is gone, so early, so unexpectedly, one month after our last meeting in Moscow. In the two years that we were together, he taught me so much – how to love and be loved, how to open the best in other people, how to help people, and simply how to be a good human being. We planned to get married; we had many plans in the future together. With him gone, I have no idea what to do.”

“My thoughts and prayers are, first of all, with his two wonderful daughters whom he loved so much, with every member of his family, with his friends, and with the people that watched him every single day on television,” she continued. “People for whom he played, people who inspired him to work and live. Also, I want to state that I have seen several funds claiming that they were opened by me. As of today, I have not opened and am not planning to open any funds. Everything that you see was/is fake.”

St. John’s son Julian with ex-wife Mia St. John died by suicide four years ago following a battle with mental illness. Prior to his death, Mia recalled a troubling conversation she had with the actor about his son, during which he became disoriented and claimed he saw their son “at the door.”

“Right now, I want to be with him, his family, and his friends,” Mikhaleva added. “I am getting thousands of support texts on my Facebook and Instagram and people are asking why I am not with him and how they can help. Several weeks ago I applied for an “emergency”visa for the funeral to say goodbye my fiancé and beloved???. The reply from the Embassy was “No”. My heart is broken. I am going through this with a huge pain in my heart,and realize that I don’t have opportunity to say goodbye to him and put flowers on his grave. It is not right, not fair. ??Fly, my love, and finally find peace ??❤️. Any person in my place would be torn into pieces. It’s scary, painful, and disgusting that I cannot be with my loved one and his family on his last journey to eternal peace.RIP @kristoffstjohn ????”

Mikhaleva said she and the television star had “many plans in the future together.” Now, “with him gone, I have no idea what to do,” she wrote.

St. John will be buried at the Valley Oaks Memorial Park in Westlake Village, California, next to his son’s grave.
