I'll second Kaleea on this -- and I don't think it's just people who can lose the will to live. It can happen to other animals with a strong "attachment" potential (like dogs and baby elephants). Sorry I can't furnish some links to this, but I'm convinced it's no myth. And not restricted to "romantic love" either...
