So it's possible to die from a "broken heart".

It's called Broken Heart Syndrome. And happens often to the long term partners of those who have died. Case in point Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher. Well, they were mother and daughter but it's an example.
I've heard of wives/husbands dying within days of each other, now this occurrence or syndrome has a name.

I had two maiden aunts when I was growing up. Born in India under the Raj their mother died young and they were sent back home to England with an allowance from their father where they more or less had to finish growing up themselves. Fast forward after 80 years of living together with neither ever having been married one of them died... and before we could even bury her her sister went to join her. As in life so it was in death. Still together and still each other's everything.
