Well being of a female mute swan who has been sitting on the nest for a month

The male of a pair of mute swans was killed and the eggs addled. The female has been sitting on them for a month now. What are the chances of the female surviving? Will she continue to sit on the nest? Will she leave the nest to get food? As you can tell, I'm very concerned about her well being.
