It's no secret that Wolverine is nearly unstoppable, with a mutant healing factor that means he can walk away from almost any fight. He's been shot, stabbed, maimed, had limbs cut off, been burned, and worse. Even so, he's always bounced back completely healthy in record time. As a result, this also means that Wolverine has lived for quite a while, and has endured enough trauma, loss, and suffering than any normal person should have to deal with in one standard lifetime.
In the Wolverine: Logan miniseries, Logan is able to recall his long-lost memories, and he returns to Japan to the site where his heart was ripped out in a figurative sense due to a lost love. Once there, his heart actually gets ripped out... in a horrific literal sense.
In Wolverine: Logan, a three issue miniseries from Brian K. Vaughn and Eduardo Risso, Wolverine returns to Hiroshima where he was once a prisoner of war during WWII. Together with his cellmate 'Lt. Warren,' the duo escape their prison and stumble across a Japanese woman by the name of Atsuko. While Warren wants to kill her, Logan tells him to leave staying behind to protect the innocent woman. Showing each other kindness, they quickly fall in love and become intimate... but this being a Wolverine story, Warren eventually returns to kill both Logan and Atsuko. Enraged by the loss, Logan and Warren fight, where Logan discovers Warren is a mutant like him: he can't die, but he can be harmed.
Logan survives the unexpected nuclear bomb drop thanks to his healing, but Warren's fate is uncertain. At least until Logan returns to Hiroshima as Wolverine, thanks to the return of his memories. There he finds Warren, still alive as a sort of flaming skeletal ghost due to the nuclear blast. After all this tine, he had been trapped, haunting the area. As they fight, Warren quickly gets the upper hand, ripping out Logan's heart and eating it.
For some reason that not even Warren can explain, this regenerates his body back into his original human form, though it's quickly revealed that the fight is not over. While some would think that Wolverine would out for the count at least until his heart grows back, Logan is still up and angry, despite his missing heart. To Warren's shock and horror, and despite being heartless, Logan is still fighting in an almost zombified state. Wolverine attacks Warren with a savagery, presumably killing him for good by decapitating him before he himself falls to the ground, spent.
Later, Wolverine wakes up with his heart having grown back. While unconscious, he spoke with the spirit of Atsuko, who offered to take his memories of Warren and Hiroshima away, but would also take his memory of her away as well. When Logan wakes up, it's unclear to the reader as to the choice he made.
Even with his heart ripped from his body by the man whole stole his heart (figuratively) years prior by killing his lost love, Wolverine refused to go down and still won the fight. Who knows if he decided to hang onto his trauma and keep her memory within him. Perhaps he decided to let her go, providing him him with one less loss to carry with his already troubled soul.
