Made another RIP edit of/for Arwen 🐾 💜 🌈

I still cry, every day, every night, several times... I hold the pendant, I talk to her soul that lives on within me. It's been a little over 5 weeks, but unfortunately I still get the bad flashbacks from time to time.
I wrote about these sad memories a while ago on my blog, the post can be found here:

#GoodEvening and #TZAG :kirby_tired:

Hope you're all having a good day/time! I've had a mixed day, so now I'm trying to focus on the good things, as in the end, they may seem smaller, but they're so much more important! :bowie_stardust:

For the first time in quite a while, I had a night where I slept for several hours straight. I was a bit sore and stiff, but also felt kinda rested and like I had a few more spoons to spend. :charmanderHappy:

I wrote some bits, finished a few chores, cared for Sir Little Noise™, so that when mum came back, she could relax a bit. It felt good to having done several bits and bops.

Unfortunately, the edema under the hematoma was "on the move" again, so that caused me some more discomfort.

I am glad that I'm slowly making some progress, as I shared in today's blog post (cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/). But I'm also dreading the time when I'm OK enough to be on my own again, as I will be all alone when mum (and Bas) will head home again.

After the divorce, I was alone but not really, as I had the best supportive friend at my side, trusting me to do right by her, showing me the meaning of true love. (cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/)

But now, in the last 8 weeks, so much has happened, so much has changed and... The biggest loving support I had... Only her soul remains... :parrot_sad:

So I'm tyring to write a blog post about that for next Monday... It's hard. With tears. Anxiety and fear are hard to deal with, especially when you're on your own.

I felt good caring for Sir Little Noise™, I felt good getting some chores done, I felt annoyed and sore by the edema being on the move, and I feel sad and a bit scared, not knowing what to expect when the time comes and I'll be all alone... :blobcathuggiessad:

Hope you're having a good time folks! :blobcatflower: and remember, be kind 🌸 not just to others, but to yourself as well. :kirby_prideheart:

As I was getting ready to try and get some sleep about half an hour ago 🫣 my AuDHD got distracted by two side quests... :ablobcatangel:

I edited an older vid for UPJ to share, bit as it's rather cute (at least to me), I'll share the little vid here too. It's been slightly edited (as quickly as I could because I did want to get some sleep), so the quality is a bit lower. Don't expect a masterpiece 😉

It's Arwen, age 5 there, and Sir Little Noise™, almost 1, playing together with a rope toy. Maybe @altbot can help me with a more decent description, as I am really rather tired. :kirby_tired: bit the AuDHD didn't allow me any calm until I shared the vid with all of you...

:kirby_popcorn: so here it is, I hope you'll enjoy it!

Now, let's see about this thing called sleep...

Am working on finishing a blog post that should be going live this Monday.
It's based on/started with what happened last night. Where I started to drift off to sleep, and the first thing I "saw" was one of the two saddest last memories that I have from Arwen's last hours... :parrot_sad:
While I wrote the post, I cried a lot... And still, I kept on writing...
I had to get the words out of my mind. I have to find a way to work on the stages of grief. And I know that my grief is deep, and due to the other huge trauma that happened that same week... I feel like it hit me even harder, as I was more vulnerable when she passed away...
So yeah, I need to finish the blog now, as I want to edit and add some snaps of my gall to it.
I'm sure I'll boost the link when it goes live on Monday morning. But... It could be a triggering one, I guess, due to all the sadness in it... :parrot_sad:
It feels weird to say that it feels good to cry about it. I hate the snotty bits, I hate the way it makes my head feel, but... I need to allow myself to let it out. And part of that is by crying as much as I need, hopefully in times and places where it won't attract too much unwanted attention...
It's been a little over four weeks and even with Bas snuggling against my foot now, I still miss that big brown furball so much... 💔

I'll let @altbot help me for now, as my eyes are struggling and if I need to go into detail too much, I'll probably end up crying too much as it will alert mum then. And I know she'll understand, but yeah, I want this to me my way if grieving... If that makes sense... 😔
