Can a broken heart mend?

I read this article today by TARA PARKER-POPE in which it says it is indeed true that people could die of a broken heart and loss in love.

Emotional distress can sometimes lead to heart attack like symptoms where no heart blockages are there but then a person experiences pain like a heart attack pain. The good news is that such patients can be treated and can bounce back to normalcy where the emotional distress is much reduced through treatment.
