I would say no.  It is entirely possible her heart was broken because 
of the REASON that Sirius left and not the fact of his leaving.  To 
have a son reject everything she believed in and walk away from the 
traditions and responiblities she felt were of the utmost importance 
could be heart-breaking. Remember evil people feel what they believe in 
is right.
