As one can be heartbroken a soul is a whole entity. If there is no whole soul and it said to be soulbroken it would feel or be as not having a point of existence or being.
when my husband died of lung cancer we were soul mates, and when he passed I was soulbroken and a piece of my soul went with him

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.
