👉 Brokenheartedness is a state of emotional distress or sorrow caused by the loss of someone who has died, particularly when that person was close to one's heart. It can be characterized by feelings of sadness, grief, and hopelessness as if one cannot bear the loss of the departed. The term is often used in religious contexts, especially within Christianity, where it may refer to a feeling of profound sorrow or grief over the death of a loved one.
