The dread of the deed is oft greater than the deed itself.
I don't know where I remember that from, or even if I'm remembering it rightly, or if I'm remembering it at all and it's just one of those strange half-lines that my brain comes up with sometimes, but... in this case, it's certainly true.
At the very least, the deed is done, and the dread of it was entirely disproportionate.
