Sadly, yes, that does seem to be a true story, based on the account recorded by David Ogden after Hamilton's death. Eliza stayed by Hamilton's side throughout the night and through the following day after he was shot. Once Hamilton passed away, Ogden describes the heart-wrenching scene that followed: "The poor woman [Eliza Hamilton] was almost distracted [and] begged Uncle Gouverneur Morris might come into her room. She burst into tears, told him he was the best friend her husband had, begged him to join her in prayers for her own death, and then to be a father for her children.

Mr. Morris had been already almost overcome with grief at witnessing the last moments of the man of whom of all others he loved most on earth.

This last scene with the bereaved widow was almost too much for him to bear, and the big tears that flowed down his cheeks bespoke the anguish of his soul."

Christ has no body now but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which he sees Yours are the feet with which he walks Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands. Yours are the feet. Yours are the eyes.

Anyway, this is the part I’ve seen in different biographies:

“The poor woman was almost distracted [and] begged Uncle Gouverneur Morris might come into her room. She burst into tears, told him he was the best friend her husband had, begged him to join her in prayers for her own death, and then to be a father for her children.

“Mr. Morris had been already almost overcome with grief at witnessing the last moments of the man of whom of all others he loved most on earth.

This last scene with the bereaved widow was almost too much for him to bear, and the big tears that flowed down his cheeks bespoke the anguish of his soul.”

Of note:

“distracted” really meant she was hysterical.

Eliza begging to die to be with Hamilton is the most heartbreaking thing in the entire fucking world.  That she didn’t come out of that sort of thinking for months makes it even worse when you really didn’t think it could get worse.

And it clearly is what broke Morris too and he couldn’t do as she requested.

Besides the brotherly love that Morris and Ham had, seeing Eliza like that (and knowing her for 20 + years) was probably, in part, what motivated Morris’ devotion to her and the family after.  He above all was concerned with their well-being.
