I am at the final stage of Kübler-Ross's stages of grief.
ACCEPTANCE.
I came across this tragic news from Hong Kong, via FB newsfeed.

# Police arrested unemployed 36-year-old mother yesterday for allegedly hacking her 18-month-old daughter to death after telling officers she had killed the baby. Investigators reveal however, the mother's speech was incoherent and she appeared unstable when interviewed.

Earlier today, the mother was transferred to a psychiatric hospital for further treatment, officers believe she may be suffering from some illness like postnatal depression, even though she has no prior history of psychiatric illness.

Police officers were called to the scene of the murder when the mother called the police at 6:40am saying that her son was abducted. When they arrived, they found the son waiting outside the flat, as he rung the doorbell but no one answered. In the apartment authorities found more than 10 chop wounds on the infant, Lam Chak-lai’s body and seized a chopper from the mother’s flat in Sham Shui Po.  They are now trying to locate her husband. #

The Apple Daily H.K news report even provided animated reenactment of the tragedy.
The horrors of post-partum depression illustrated with full blast terror.

I exhaled deeply after reading / watching this news.
This is my closure.
From CLY's perspective, I must say, he handled our relationship well enough.
Inhale.
Exhale.
