History Main / HerHeartWillGoOn

* If it's a DeathTrope, the ''Literature/MalazanBookOfTheFallen'' has it. In this case Seren Pedac (pregnant) and Trull Sengar (killed almost as an afterthought) in ''Literature/ReapersGale''. It serves as the moment where Seren finally decides to stop pitying herself and rolls up her metaphorical sleeves.

* GirlsLove version: In ''Anime/{{Symphogear}}'', when [[TheAce Kanade]] was alive, she was [[TheWoobie Tsubasa]]'s sole source of strength. After Kanade's HeroicSacrifice, Tsubasa become an IceQueen to be able to continue fighting the Noise. When Hibiki comes into the scene [[RookieRedRanger inheriting (a shard of) Kanade's power]], Tsubasa doesn't take it well (read:at all). It is a subversion because it shows that Tsubasa is still pretty hung up on Kanade's death and it ended up holding her true potential back. Once she started accepting Hibiki, and truly got over Kanade's death, that is when her heart truly went on and she became even more powerful than her IceQueen days.

To anyone who finally got that Music/CelineDion song out of their heads only for it to creep back in, TropeCo/TropeCo sincerely apologizes.

* The ending of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' confirms that Mikasa loved Eren [[spoiler:and that Eren loved her too, however his death at her hands due to his ThanatosGambit prevents anything from happening. Chapter 139.5, that serves as the series epilogue, shows that Mikasa married and started a family with another man, moving forward in life like Eren would have wanted, but it also shows that she still visits him and places flowers symbolizing she still loves and mourns him. She is finally seen being buried in the scarf Eren gave her, showing she never forgot him]].

* ''Fanfic/OneDayAtATimeFanfic'' and its sequel ''Fanfic/TheSuperheroGame'' reveal that Donna Troy (Wonder Woman II) fell in love with Jason Todd-Wayne (Batman III) after the death of her FirstLove Roy Harper, who was Jason's best friend. In a strange variation of this trope, Roy's ghost was a barely a stumbling block in their relationship because by the time they had gotten together he had been dead for decades.

'''As this is a DeathTrope, all spoilers will be unmarked. Consider yourself warned.'''

* Totally subverted in ''The Dead Room'' by Heather Graham. [[ISeeDeadPeople Leslie]] is still mourning the death of her fiance [[GhostlyGoals Matt]], and then she meets his [[UncannyFamilyResemblance cousin]]... who she does NOT get together with. She also gets murdered by the killer, and happily reunites with Matt in the afterlife.

* The TropeNamer: "My Heart Will Go On" by Music/CelineDion, the main theme and love theme to the aforementioned ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}''.

* In ''Fanfic/ADifferentLesson'', [[CrusadingWidow Xiulan the cow]] reveals that first husband was one of the victims of Tai Lung's rampage, and she eventually [[spoiler:loses her second husband, Zhuang, who ends up becoming collateral in the BigBad's EvilPlan [[LieToTheBeholder to frame Tai Lung for taking an innocent life]]]]. The first loss led to her hatred of Tai Lung, and the second only worsened it, leaving her more and more vulnerable to the villain's manipulations. However, the sequel vignette "Love Goes On And On" in ''FanFic/DifferentTalesDifferentLessons'' has her eventually come to terms with [[spoiler:Zhuang's death, thanks to [[DeadPersonConversation his ghost visiting her to offer consolation, advice, and a final farewell]]. This is at least partly motivated by the fact that she already had a child with him, rather than being pregnant with one, but also because he tells her that the future happiness of herself and their daughter Yi depends on letting go of her hatred towards Tai Lung. This is why in the end of the original fic, she finally allows Yi to be Tai Lung's god-daughter and eventually train in kung fu with him, since making peace with Tai Lung would have been crucial in bringing about the peace and forgiveness that he would have (and had already) wanted.
