Yes, they can. If one looses the will of life, it can set up an ilness to kill.

I would have to say absolutely yes! There is plenty of corollary evidence to show this to be true. Many long time married couple have died within days of each other. Call it what you want, but I say they died of broken hearts.

totally agree with prodigal...... yes, they can.
Ive seen it happen.
Just visit some hospitals, palliative care or emergency wards... and follow up the families of the ones they have lost ....
sadly, it happens a lot more than people realize.
thats part of the whole 'ministering into hopelessness and despair' comes in....... sometimes.
Yes Laurie.....it can happen

what do you suppose Jesus died from when He took the weight of sin for the world and became seperated from the Father..He said straight out that his heart was melted like wax within Him

When my mom died, my immediate junior brother could not stand it. He was in deep grief for her and 6 months later was diagnosed for having leukemia. In les than 6 months later from the diagnose we buried him.

Amen! Our Savior died of a broken heart!

Like Ken I have known of cases of long married people dying days or hours of each other.

You can most definately die of a broken heart
which is why we need friends and family to lift us up in support and prayer

I wrote on this subject earlier this year: [post 20230]

As all have said before, Yes; people can in a particular circumstances loose the Will to live.
