That doesn't seem to make much sense. Just because there is an emptiness inside that he seems to fill when he is around her, does not mean she has lost anything of herself to him.
It seems more likely she's suppressing her own individual feelings and emotions because she feels happier with him. So when he is not there, there is nothing else to fill that void.
How could anyone but you claim whether or not that is true love? I submit that they cannot.
Everyone experiences love differently, everyone experiences separation differently and with different levels of anxiety.
Perhaps simply carving out some personal time for your own hobbies and ambitions without him being right next to you could help. It's just a matter of overcoming the sadness/anxiety you're feeling long enough to get past that stage.
When did you go from best friends to dating/engaged? Perhaps it is still the temporary infatuation that seems to ensue with new or renewed feelings for someone, and you just need to give it time.
Just some thoughts; I do not claim to know the best answer, but I feel for you.

Doesn't sound all that healthy to me, actually. More like you have lost part of yourself in this other person. No - I don't think that is love.
