lol, I think she really loved him. That's the reason she riped out her heart. If she didn't love him, she would have just abandom him *without* riping her own heart out :)

You forget Cora has always believed love is a weakness when Emma proved it was a strength. Not believing in  love like that meant it was not true love.
