Cynni's Blog<p><strong>Fearing loneliness</strong></p>
<p>Before my divorce, I’d never been on my own. I moved in with one partner, I moved in with the next partner. When she kicked me out, I was on my own. But… I wasn’t all alone, thanks to Arwen. She has just turned 5, I was 38. I had go learn to be on my own. To make my own decisions, to live as I wanted, not as a partner wanted me to live… It was scary, it was weird, but when I finally got used to it, it was a special kind of freedom…</p>
<p>My life used to resolve around work and my partners. Work fell away, but I still had my wife. Then wife kicked me out of her life and house, and it was just me. Well, it was Arwen and me. And my life, my routine, it became all about her and me. And for almost 7 years, it was just her and me, living our lives together, being happy and free. But unfortunately, on July 4th, she passed away, after a heart tumor was taking away all her quality and love of life. 😭 </p>

Cynni's Blog<p><strong>So many changes…</strong></p>
<p>…and many really hurt…</p>
<p>The last two months have been hard. And, in a way, I knew they would be challenging, as I knew I’d get my hip surgery on June 13th. What I didn’t know then was that, about 2½ weeks later, my life would have one literal hell of a week… 😢 For those of you that are new to my blog site, here is my journal post for that week: Journal – Week 27, June/July 2025.</p>
<p>Long story cut short: my hip dislocated, it was “out” for about 5 hours, leg got set, emergency surgery, and then my best furry friend ever passed away… And now, 5 weeks since her passing (when this post goes live), I am still dealing with the aftermath. I’m still struggling with pain, with grief, with anger, with sadness… I know that, at some point, I’ll be all alone and I’ll really need to face the changes then. 😢 And that already scares me, because I know that it will bring me down hard… </p>

Cynni's Blog<p><strong>Fighting the dark monster…</strong></p>
<p>…but without my trusted support this time… 😢</p>
<p>Every time I had to deal with my dark monster, I’ve had the support and love from Arwen at my side. But… Now, part of the reason for the dark monster’s return is her decent crossing of the rainbow bridge. Without her, I feel more insecure, I feel weaker.
