There's not much you can do. And fish can mourn. The breeder I use had two female bettas, sister that were houses next to one another. well, one jumped out and died..the sister immediately stopped eating and soon passed away.
Give her time to mourn. She might get over it soon. Just try to keep any thing stressful to a limit for a while..lie whole tank changes, adding new fish, things like that.
Hopefully it will recover and be okay.
 
Well can fish die from broken heart? I have a few angelfish and one died yesterday , i found one of the other angelfish swimming next to his body. The angel wont eat , the others seem fine , ive done a 50% water change and done a few tests , everything seems fine. The angelfish doesnt seem herself , she is normally really active and happy , and really greedy. Now she just slowly swims , mostly around the place where the other angel died.

Do you think there is anything i could do?
 
angel fish get mates for life. she probably is depressed about her companion not being there. i would try to buy another angel that looks like the one that died and perhaps she could make a new friend.
