heartbrokenly
In crushing despair
In a manner expressing or conveying deep grief from loss or disappointment.
The adverb is rare; most writers choose alternatives like She wept, heartbroken rather than She wept heartbrokenly.
When it does appear, it modifies verbs of expression: He stared heartbrokenly at the empty chair.
