What happens now depends on the species. Some species lay all of their eggs in one burst, others lay them over several days. If the latter, she may come back and deposit more eggs before she starts to brood them. Death through senescence does not occur through starvation. It is an entire physiological syndrome controlled by the female's endocrine system. That syndrome has started and will run its course in a month or so - unless you have one of the rare species that reproduce multiple times.
