Subject: RE: Folklore: Dying of a 'Broken Heart'
Then there is "The Unquiet Grave," in which the ghost counsels the young woman to let go of her grief because she is too young to die.

Here it is in the DT.

"My breast is cold as clay,
My breath is earthly strong,
And if you kiss my cold clay lips,
You days they won't be long."
