I can feel the pain you are going through since 2011
Exhaustion and heartsore can be symptoms of uncontrolled hypothyoridism and complicated / unresolved grief
First thing to do is to do a thyroid hormone level (T3, T4, TSH) checked, if they are not normal, then the symptoms for which you are worried for are because of hypothyoridism. Then consult an endocrinologist
Hypothyoridism is a risk factor for having such symptoms in response to stress (emotional crisis you are referring to)
In addition, being in regular with with a psychotherapist or interacting within people of your age etc will help recovery
