This seems likely to apply to extreme non-romantic disappointments too.

  We really need a word for non-romantic breakups because losing a very close friend can be just as hurtful, but it seems odd to say you "broke up" and nothing else ("falling out"?) really expresses the severity of the loss.

    You could say "heartbroken at the loss of a friend".

    I hear people say they broke up with their friend all the time.
