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.
That's why sometimes when a couple has been happily married for a long time and one passes away the other one follows not too long after.
