| Jul 12, 2016 at 3:36 | comment | added | Persique | @Hot Licks - This is part of a sad story that happens in the present-day world. One of the characters is a woman who undergoes too many bitter experiences and loss of loved ones. She eventually dies young. People believe that sadness and grieves killed her. | |
| Jul 12, 2016 at 3:25 | comment | added | Hot Licks | Yes, to my knowledge there is no single word for the concept, at least no modern one. (There may well be archaic terms, but they would be poorly understood by most readers.) You would be better off to provide some good examples of desired usage scenarios and solicit suggestions, including clues as to how "poetic" you wish to be, and any "tone" you wish to convey. | |
| Jul 12, 2016 at 3:19 | comment | added | Persique | @Hot Licks - I'm doing some Persian-English translation. In Persian, the concept is packed in one word. I just wonder if there is a single-word equivalent for it in English. However, it seems I have to make do with the longer phrases or sentences. | |

| Jul 11, 2016 at 19:03 | comment | added | Persique | @sumelic For me yes, but maybe not long enough for you. | |

| Jul 11, 2016 at 17:48 | comment | added | herisson | So what is wrong with "die of a broken heart"? It's just too long for you? | |

| Jul 11, 2016 at 12:50 | comment | added | Persique | @rathony I provided some context. | |
