The forest for the trees

I am agonizing over a single sentence in my 50,000+ word novel.

Aftercare is so important, and I feel it’s important to stress this metaphor, but I feel like I’m going crazy. Will anyone even notice if I flub this sentence? Will it someday move a reader in a way a different sentence could not? Will it pull my piece together perfectly?

Ideally, it creates a looming ever-presence from my forest, which is almost a character itself. Right now, though, it just feels like I’m stressing for nothing.
Editing is the pits.
