Loss and gain

I lost a part, a dear part of me and of my life. And what do I gain in return? No more watching a loved one suffer unnecessarily. No more sadness, depression, ups and downs of emotional that used to fluctuate with mum's health condition. No more hospital visits and waiting for appointments.

I lost my dear mother. But I gained the freedom of my own life back.

And that is so frightening and daunting.
