Similar to heartbroken but in reference to losing your soulmate. Most people never find their romantic soulmate, so this word should be reserved for truly only those who know they had theirs. It embodies the deepest sorrow…past the pain, past the numbness, to the place where your soul in darkened for the rest of your days and despair is your only consolation.
John was soulbroken at the death of Sue because he knew that he could never experience full joy again.
