Use a tank divider or remove the male to another tank to let the female heal and recover her energy. After she is good to go, re-introduce the male and they should spawn again. A divider is best so that they can still see each other and the desire to mate doesn't dissipate. If you remove the male to another tank, try to put him in a tank nearby so that they can see each other.

Yeah, not appealing to the eye, but better than dead, expensive fish.

Yes keep the divider in until the female heals completely! Then remove the divider only when you have some time to keep an eye on them in case the male starts to attack the female again. When they spawn again try not to be near the tank to much because that can cause them to get spooked and eat the eggs. This is especially true with the Electric Blue Jacks that are often much more skittish then the regular jacks. Keep us updated and include some pictures please.
