We had a big tree in the garden that was rotting, so now it's gone. I did not expect to feel as strongly as I did over it.

Seeing the stump is so visceral, representing something that I thought of as effectively permanent being suddenly gone.

It shaded the garden and the house, it held a rope swing, so it was a tangible loss, but I think that its size is part of what made it so affecting.
