The word is used both actually and metaphorically.

Devastated means ruined, destroyed, or wrecked (as occurs in natural disasters and wars).

Devastated, emotionally, means overwrought, overwhelmed, shocked, heartbroken, or distraught. The state of grief and/or anxiety can be caused by a number of things including physical loss, death, or a failed relationship.
