The boys were finally rescued, after surviving on the island for 120 days. But, they were still bearing the burden of the two boys who had died.

Yes, it makes sense. It would be more grammatical to say
"Finally the boys were rescued, having survived for 120 days on the island. They carried with them the burden of the (knowledge of the) deaths of three of their companions."
Depending on your meaning, you can include or exclude the bit in brackets.
