I found this short story in http://americanliterature.com/author/kate-chopin/short-story/the-story-of-an-hour
And what a story it was! It is very difficult to convey so much in a few words.

This story is about a woman who receives the news of her husband’s death in a rather… unexpected manner. Instead of grief, she feels intense joy and gratitude and relief for the freedom his death will now grant her. Not because she hated him or because she didn’t love him, but purely because, without a marriage, she felt she would be able to genuinely live life without being held back and without restrictions. She would be able to live life for herself.
Also, that ending? Such a twist! I definitely didn’t see it coming!
