The Fault in Our Stars

How does the writer use language here to describe Hazel's isolation and despair?

My parents came in then looking expectant and i just nodded and they fell into each other, feeling,Im sure, the harmonic terror that would in time come for them directly. I called Isaac, who cursed life and the universe and God himself and who said where are the goddamned trophies to break when you need them, and then i realized there was no one else to call, which was the saddest thing. The only person i really wanted to talk to about Augustus Waters' death was Augustus Waters

It was unbearable. The whole thing. Every second worse than the last.

Hazel feels disconnected from others. She searches for people to connect with her own misery. Unfortunately everyone else is dealing with their own pain, and then i realized there was no one else to call, which was the saddest thing.
