Absolutely, this is how she will still feel, until she is thru her withdrawal period. "Hard withdrawal" -- near-depressive state, staying in bed, not wanting to eat, wild mood swings, etc., etc. -- usually lasts from 2-4 weeks, and then complete withdrawal will take anywhere from 6-24 months, depending on how deep her emotional connection with him was. From your description, I'd say she's going to be on the long end of this, and this is IF there is no futher contact with him. Just gazing at his FB page, for instance, sets her withdrawal "clock" back to damned near 0:00:00 each time.

Sorry; wish I had better news for you, but there ARE those who have navigated their way thru this, and come out strongly reconciled on the other end. You may want to look up Hope4Us' old threads for a great example.
