made whole
Returned to completeness
Made whole means restored to a complete or undamaged state, especially after loss or injury.
The phrase appears most often in legal and insurance contexts, where compensation aims to return someone to their position before harm occurred: The settlement made the plaintiffs whole.
It can also describe emotional or spiritual restoration: Years of therapy finally made her feel whole again.
