If you are heavy-hearted, you are very sad — not a sharp cry, but a sadness that sits on you, as if your heart were weighing you down. People feel heavy-hearted after bad news, a goodbye, or a day that went wrong. It is a gentle, slightly old-fashioned word; in everyday talk, most people just say sad or down. Though actually, it is not the same as light-hearted, which means cheerful and not serious. The two are a pair: one heart feels heavy, the other feels light. You will meet heavy-hearted in stories more than in messages to your friends.
