Opening my Mind and Opening my Emotions

As I read the Story of an Hour, and thought of the things that this women went through and how she felt as we read of how her emotions are painted in your mind through the things that are going on around her. I feel that the line of the doctor in the ending saying, "she had died of heart disease-of joy that kills." This to me means that this women although was overwhelmed with the idea that her husband, her love was gone, had plans of her own. To live, and to be able to not have to worry about leaving anyone behind, having this feeling put her heart to ease, and made her feel as if she had no worries at all, to just live the rest of her days not worrying about anything but living the life that she wanted. Without anyone stopping her. And those words used by the doctor were words that did describe this women. Being, because although she had those plans, the joy of knowing that her love was still alive and that she wouldn't have to go through the rest of her life alone was a joy to know, and by knowing that I feel that it did kill her. This joy was a happiness to her but at the same time gave her the feeling of this killed her, with the overwhelming thought of everything, in its self.
