Hi, My Mother-in-law Of 80- Years Old, Just Lost Her

Hi,
My mother-in-law of 80- years old, just lost her grandson of 33 years. She was very sad. Started to have palpitation and unable to breathe. The doctor diagnosed water in the lungs and heart failure. She was hospitalized after 5 days because she had a heart attack. The doctor said it is critical. How bad can this turn out? Can she pass away?
