I Was Alone at My Husband's Funeral – No Family, No Best Friend, Not Even My Parents |Broken Stories

I am Simone, 35 years old, standing in the pouring rain at Oak Hill Cemetery. It is just me, the priest, and three groundskeepers lowering my husband of seven years into the cold earth. There is no family holding my hand. No best friend offering a shoulder to cry on. They are all at my sister Chloe's engagement party across town. As the first shovel of dirt hits the polished mahogany casket, my phone vibrates heavily inside the pocket of my black wool coat. I pull it out, wiping the raindrops from the screen. It is a text message from my mother, Brenda. She does not ask if I am okay. She does not offer her condolences for the man who treated her like royalty. The message simply reads, We need to talk right now. Trent found an issue with the estate. Bring David's life insurance folder to the country club immediately. Do not cause a scene at Chloe's engagement. 💔 Welcome to Broken Stories — a deeply emotional storytelling space created especially for African American Black women over 40 living in the United States who have experienced heartbreak, betrayal, and emotional exhaustion — yet continue to stand with strength and dignity.
